The Antichrist Has Infiltrated the Church

I am deeply compelled by the Holy Spirit to share a very unusual encounter I had about six months after Jesus Christ appeared in my bedroom in 2018.

I know in my heart that there are those reading this right now who are in danger of end-time deception and need the help of the Holy Spirit to open up your eyes to the truth.

I received a prophetic dream one night where I thought Jesus Christ was appearing to me again, but as I drew closer I instantly realized it was not Him—it was an imposter!

I grabbed him by the throat and said, “Who are you?” With dazzling eyes and a type of glaring seduction that I will never forget, he said, “I’m another Jesus.” I immediately let him go and he began to laugh—a bone-chilling laugh that went through my spine.

For some reason, I began demanding what his marching orders were. Where was he going and why?

With anger he said, “I can only go where I’m welcome and not where I please because the Son of Man has restrained me.”

I said, “Who would ever welcome you into their midst?”

He began to laugh again, a deep belly laugh, and said, “I’m currently making my way all over the West Coast. Many of the churches there love me. They also love me in the lecture halls of America in the East where they openly debate theology. And most of all, I am readily welcome on many worship teams in America. They just love for me to write the songs and lead the people in false baal worship.”

Worshiping a False Jesus

It should be deeply alarming to us all that a false Jesus has not only infiltrated many Bible colleges and seminaries in America but also worship teams who are leading the people into baal worship. In my book Houses of Glory, I shared out of Ezekiel 44 and out of an experience I had at a church several years ago that will help give us further prophetic insight into what the Holy Spirit is revealing in this hour.

In Ezekiel 44, verses 6 and 7, God says, “Enough of all your abominations, O house of Israel, when you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart… to be in My sanctuary to profane it, even My house” (NASB95). It’s important to understand that when God brings cleansing, He always comes to the priesthood first—the leadership of God’s Church.

The Levites had allowed foreigners to come into the sanctuary of God. These were unfaithful and unauthorized priests and, as such, were an abomination to God. Yahweh repeats His objection to the Levites in verse 8: “And you have not kept charge of My holy things yourselves, but you have set foreigners to keep charge of My sanctuary” (NASB95).

Foreigners Leading Worship

As I read Ezekiel 44, I was overcome with grief. God is saying the exact same thing to the church leadership of the 21st century: “You have invited and welcomed individuals into My house to lead and minister who are not circumcised in heart!”

The Lord recalled to my memory an incident that had happened several years ago. I had been invited to observe the services of a large church. The pastor wanted me to spend a day with his church and then share with him any prophetic insights the Lord may have given me. I sat through their five Sunday services and met with him afterward. “Jeremiah,” he asked, “what do you think about what you witnessed today?”

“Sir, to be honest with you,” I began, “in terms of excellence, I do not believe your worship team missed one note and your sermons were as polished as I have ever heard. However, there was no real tangible glory of God that marked any of what was done today.” He was flabbergasted. I looked at him and asked, “Do you know if any of the members of the worship band up on stage are even saved? They looked and sounded like professionals to me.”

“They are the finest musicians we could hire,” he responded, “and we pay each one of them 500 dollars every Sunday to play for our services.”

“Okay,” I agreed, aware I was on sensitive ground, “but have you ever asked if they are saved and have had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ? Do you know that they are not actively living in sin?” The pastor stared at me. I continued.

“So if they are not saved, whose presence exactly are they leading the congregation into every Sunday? Sir, you have brought foreigners into the house of God who are not circumcised in heart. God is not pleased with your actions and you need to repent.” He showed me the door and asked me never to return.

Entertainment Church

Francis Chan speaks to what he describes as an “entertainment spirit” that has overtaken the harlot bride. According to Chan:

The benchmark of success in church services has become more about attendance that the movement of the Holy Spirit. The “entertainment” model of church was largely adopted in the 1980s and ’90s, and while it alleviated some of our boredom for a couple of hours a week, it filled our churches with self-focused consumers rather than self-sacrificing servants attuned to the Holy Spirit.

The harlot bride thrives on entertainment. The consecrated Bride craves intimacy. The harlot bride is willing to trade purity for popularity, gifting and talent for the fresh anointing. The harlot bride is in bed with the spirit of compromise and mixture and it is being exposed in the worship movement today. The consecrated Bride will not settle for any other lover than her glorious Bride- groom King. She will lock eyes with Him and go to war for the soul of her nation. High praise and intense intercession will fill the belly of the consecrated Bride. A new breed of worship leader and team is being birthed in the last days. They will lead the masses into a revelation of who Jesus really is.

Bridal revival is going to break out and strengthen the Bride in the midst of intense religious persecution.

To this day, I am still processing this terrifying encounter with another Jesus, but I believe it is time for many of us, though it might be difficult, to start coming to grips with the truth that there could be another Jesus writing many worship songs in America. There could be another Jesus walking in our lecture halls at Christian and liberal universities debating theology. We could be attending a church that the Holy Spirit would consider the harlot bride, and we need to remove ourselves right now. The very words of Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 24:24 should be enough to sober any of us up from our slumber. He said, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect” (KJV).

The Holy Spirit is calling on the global Church to consecrate themselves in this hour and embrace bridal revival. The worship movement must be purified. He is sounding the alarm on end-time deception and exposing the harlot bride and another false Jesus. In His great love He is warning us of the things to come so that we might walk in the truth and not be deceived. We must give our- selves to serving the God of the Bible and not the God of our imaginations. Our Bridegroom King is coming. Are you ready?
