The Antichrist spirit has moved to the
frontline in preparation for his appearance following the
Rapture. The general
population’s concept of God had to be altered in order for Satan
to become the god of this earth.
God’s Word affirms that the entire world will actually
worship the devil as God.
That cannot happen without a concept of God with which
the masses can identify.
A Biblical view of God does not allow one degree of
change. It would be
impossible to move from a fundamental Biblical concept to an
acceptance of a Satan-god concept without the present slow, but
powerful debriefing of all things Biblical.
Every part of our emerging church
world is guilty to some degree for this subtle change.
The Bible never debates the sovereign facts of our great
God; they simply fill the Scriptures.
From the spoken words of creation to the transcending
picture of our God in the Book of Revelation, He is awesome, He
is holy, and He is the finality of perfect love.
He said, “I change not”
(Malachi 3:6).
There is no measure of change in Him.
His purity cannot be defiled and His majesty cannot be
compared for He alone is the plumb line of all things.
But every concept of God is
undergoing a transformation.
Todd Bentley is only one part of what is happening, but
he presents a perfect example of what I am contending.
He presents a picture of the Sovereign God that cleverly
reduces Him to a zoo-like character.
If Todd Bentley’s god is Jehovah God, then the Bible is a
fool’s imagination.
I declare to you that Todd Bentley’s god is the devil himself
and that he is making preparation to be worshipped by the world.
Such a statement is too vast to be taken lightly and too
serious to be ignored.
If Todd Bentley’s god is the devil, then two things are
absolutely overwhelming.
One
is that multitudes of the church world are perfectly ready to
make the move from a pre-Rapture state to a post-Rapture fact.
Millions of the world’s churchgoers, especially
Charismatics, but including both Catholics and Evangelicals,
have fallen in lockstep with this tattooed phenomena.
He has exceeded every expression of the modern day
revivals of my lifetime.
In a matter of weeks he has had the greatest success of
the modern day religious hype to capture both television and
Internet. The man is
nothing less than a phenomenon.
The biggest names in the Charistmatic world, beginning
with Peter Wagner, Rick Joyner, and John Arnott, just met to
anoint Todd Bentley as prophet par excellent.
Second, everything about Todd
Bentley is pre-Antichrist revelation.
He fits the perfect image that Scripture demands of this
second beast in Revelation chapter thirteen.
He claims Jesus is Christ, but totally re-invents Him.
The person of Christ in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John has
no likeness to Todd Bentley’s “Jesus.”
When Jesus healed, he said, “Tell no man.”
Todd Bentley spends the majority of his time performing
signs and wonders that exalt him beyond recognition.
No one standing in the presence of the Son of God ever
reacted like an insane person without Jesus calling such action
the “work of demons.”
Todd’s Jesus is a masquerading spirit from the abyss.
Let’s
look at this zoological god of Todd Bentley.
His god has commissioned angels to work hand-in-hand with
the prophet. They
move in and out with Mr. Bentley to impart this strange
anointing and to multiply incredible signs and wonders.
The last count of the unconfirmed resurrections is near
twenty or more. A
leading angel is named Emma, who has a great history in
Charismatic circles.
She dates back at least to William Branham, a Jesus-only
minister, who was killed about forty years ago.
Emma floats into the meetings and distributes gold dust
on the attendees.
One minister’s wife got Emma’s impartation and began to bark
like a dog.
According to the prophet, Emma appears as an angel of light.
Todd’s god loves to see his
worshippers having epileptic-like seizures, screaming incoherent
babble, and acting like a spirit has cast them into the fire.
They even call the action that grips the people the fire
and it is, but it is not the fire of the Holy Spirit baptism.
The violence of this god causes his prophet to kick the
sick or slam the suffering with a dark force to drive out the
disease. This fits
perfectly with the demonic healing found in the world of
witchdoctors.
Here is a description of the normal
activity seen in a Bentley worship service.
This comes from an eyewitness account.
“These are the effects that I have witnessed on people
who have attended this movement and either have had hands laid
on them or claim to have been imparted with 'the spirit': -They
come back with this kind of childlike drunken stupor.
-Descriptions of a burning sensation either in their veins,
heads or stomachs. -Descriptions of being washed back and forth
like the waves in the ocean;-Dancing about like
drunk...-Inappropriate yelling and screaming like they're at a
football game;-Young men whistling over and over and holding
their heads and claiming that they 'feel the Holy Spirit about
to split them in two'; -One young man's back two teeth turned
completely to some metallic finish.-People with their eyes
rolled in the back of their heads and weaving around like
they're lost.-Women just gyrating and pulsating like they're
being ravaged from behind from some unseen force. -Drunken
uncontrollable laughter in the middle of a solemn prayer
time…-People being 'slain in the spirit'... just falling down
and being unable to move (like something's holding them down).”

The flesh of both Todd Bentley, his
helpers, and the crowds that relish his meeting is dominant.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible forbids an
anointing upon flesh.
The Holy Spirit only anoints the life that is fully
identified with Jesus Christ.
The oil of the First Testament anointing presents the
perfect type of an acceptable prophet or priest.
The Word stated, “Upon man's flesh shall it not be
poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the
composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.”
“And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most
holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy” (Exodus 30:32,29).
Our Heavenly Father protects the
purity of His anointing.
The nephews of Moses were eliminated for offering strange
fire in the name of the Lord.
Very soon, the same defense of that holy anointing of the
Lord will be reinstated.
It will occur similar to the judgment of those nephews of
Abraham, Nadab and Abihu.
“And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of
them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon,
and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded
them not. And there
went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died
before the LORD”
(Leviticus 10:1-2).
It is an abomination to offer
strange fire as is clearly occurring in connection with a host
of Charismatics. It
is now elevated in the Bentley meetings to a level that reveals
the true false nature of this crowd.
The concept of God that the world is
now witnessing should warn every one of us of the closeness of
His great Rapture.
The saints cannot be here when the actual Antichrist and his
final religious mastermind appear.
They are held in check while their spirit is quickly
developing and spreading.
The actual Antichrist and the False Prophet are being
prevented from their public role until the escape of the Bride
of Jesus Christ.
Todd Bentley and his god from the
devil’s zoo is a perfect warning to every Bible believer.
Every saint of God should refresh his vision of our
Heavenly Father.
Consider His awesome person reflected in a glory that fills Holy
Scripture. Consider
His holiness so pure that He offered His spotless Son to redeem
us. Refuse to be
satisfied with an image of God that only reflects flesh and
empty faith in some religious titillation.
Our great God wants you to know Him in the power of His
only Begotten Son and the new life of purity and beauty.
