I was thinking this whole week, and I was reflecting on the time of history in which we live.

And I thought to myself that if the Lord Terry's doesn't return, meanwhile, our time, this period of history is going to be written in the history books as a time where right and wrong have been

blurred. It will go down in history as a time where evil and good have been confused, a time

where truth and error have been mixed up, a time when facts and fictions got muddled, a time when

there is a deliberate state of confusion has been created. Although this type of deception

and confusion have been with us for a long time. They're not new.

Yet there are certain periods in history when those times seem to be pervasive, seem to be

on the increase. This period of time in which we live reminded me of the period of time in which

the apostle John was living and writing his epistles. Remember, John was around 20 years of

age when Jesus died and rose again. And he lived to be in his 90s. So this would be around 60 years after Jesus'

death and resurrection, give or take a few years. And within 60 years of the time of the Lord

Jesus Christ dying and rising again, there were those times in which John was right, 60 years, where wolves were dressed in sheep's clothing.

It was a time like our day where there were so many people who were deliberately and systematically trying to deceive the believers.

It was a time when so many false belief systems have subtly, surreptitiously, have sneaked

into the Church of Jesus Christ. It was a time when there's so many false teaching and so many false

teachers and who were rewriting the truth, as we have seen in the beginning of the series of

messages, the Gnostics who were raising their ugly head and now they're raising their ugly head again.

But I want to tell you something. The problem is that we have often tempted to undermine Satan's intelligence.

We really do.

Satan is too clever than to come out in the open and say, I want to deceive you.

I want to take you away from the truth.

No, no, no, he's too clever for that. He is going to mislead us away from the truth by the ever so subtly approach,
