Did you know that Jesus Christ has come again? He is here now and gaining adherents by the day! He is from Puerto Rico, has a television program, regular web-casts, and is particularly interested in reaching the growing Hispanic population here in the good ol' USA. His full name is Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda and his kingdom is on the move and growing!
The TODAY SHOW recently did this story on Mr. Miranda while millions of Americans sat by in shock while having flashbacks of all of the Messianic figures that have graced our newspapers and televisions over the last 30 years. Visions of Kool-Aid drinking, space-ship catching disciples danced around in our minds. What is it about us that wants to believe in something so badly that we will suspend our intuitive sense, intelligence and natural skepticism in order to embrace people who are complete egomaniacs? These so-called saviors could care less about us, our families, or our souls! They are far more interested in their own fame, power and off-shore bank accounts.
As a believer in the true Jesus Christ, I find myself deeply saddened and disturbed by this video. At the same time, I have a great sense of the fear of the Lord when I consider Judgment Day for Mr. Miranda. On one hand, I pray that God would open his eyes and bring him to repentance. On the other hand, I am reminded of the imprecatory Psalms where David and others prayed for the death and destruction of the wicked. The longer this anti-Christ continues to live, the more people he can deceive and lead to an eternity of damnation! Arise oh God, and let your enemies be scattered!

P.S. - THE BIBLE INDICATES THERE ARE MANY ANTI-CHRISTS THAT HAVE "GONE OUT INTO THE WORLD", ACCORDING TO THE APOSTLE JOHN.
Matthew 24:5 - For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and they will lead many astray. ESV
Matthew 18:6 - but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. ESV
1John 4:1 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. ESV
Pastor Doug--Thanks for the video clip about the man who claims to be a Spanish-speaking Jesus returned in a Second Coming. I had no idea we had a new Jimmy Jones deceiving people. The news report was very informative.
ReplyDeleteBlessings. Daisy.
There's always another one, Daisy. I wonder how long he'd hold on to his claims of Messiah-hood if he found out he had to get crucified to keep it up. I'll bet he'd back off really quickly. :)
ReplyDeleteIt also makes you wonder what sort of a God would incarnate Himself as one of these bozos. Doesn't it occur to this guy's followers that the Lord can do better than this (and has)?
I'm convinced that only deceiving spirits could persuade the masses to follow a man who comes across so arrogantly. Thanks for the Miranda warning!
ReplyDeleteDeea wept.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, James. I'm not sure any additional spirit is needed beyond simple human gullibility. These are people who crave the tangible, and will latch onto this guy hoping (or merely wishing) for a messiah more "real" than the actual one.
