Satan’s Illusions and Deceptions Cause Confusion
Hêlēl (Satan) has been at work for many millenniums, planting traps and deceptions along with deceptive influences all around the Earth. Some of his deceptions are plain to see, while others are elaborate illusions, and still others remain hidden or imperceptible. As Bible Believing Believers (BBB) or Qedoshim (set apart ones), it is our duty and responsibility to expose the darkness of the Devil and his army at every opportunity. Our aim should be to draw the lost sheep of Yahshar’el and those destined to be grafted into Yahshar’el to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH.
As the Kingdom of Heaven draws nearer, Satan’s agenda in the unseen war has significantly intensified. 2 Corinthians 4:4 indicates that Satan is the g-o-d of this world, which means he is the primary influence on the beliefs, opinions, dreams, hopes, and views of the people in this world. You can see this in the sins and immorality of this world that seem to be contagious and spreading with no end in sight. Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 would probably call the sin upon the Earth great as He did in Genesis 6:5 during the days of Noah.
Think about this:
- How is it that there are over 45,000 different denominations or sects of Christianity globally and multiple sects of Judaism all doing their own thing? (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)
- Shouldn’t believers all be in one accord following the will of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and the same Holy Scriptures, thus following the same commands, laws, feasts days, and precepts? (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)
- Do you find it strange that there are over 3,142 versions of the Bible? While many don’t see this as a problem because the alterations are generally minor. However slight the differences, they have the power to create whole new meanings and promote doctrines of demons. Other versions are not slight at all and promote varied theological approaches and meanings, distortions with personal idolatrous worldviews, errors, and the names of idols (God, Lord, Jesus, etc.), which goes against the third commandment. Is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 the Aurthore of confusion? 1 Corinthians 14:33 (Satan’s illusions and deceptions)
- Has the Devil infiltrated Christianity and Judaism, or is he the creator of them like he is with the other religions of the World, or is this part of the strong delusion or deception sent by 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12)? Is there any wonder why 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will tell many people He NEVER knew them? (Matthew 7:21-23)”
10. and in all deceit of unrighteousness in those who will perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.
11. And because of this, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will send to them a working of deception (strong delusion), for them to believe the lie,
12. that those not believing in the TRUTH, but who have delighted in unrighteousness all may be damned.

Tipping Point of Destruction
So, with the Prince of the Air, Satan, at the helm of our already corrupt civilizations, we have progressively increased in wickedness and depravity. Our communities are producing amoral people who believe right is wrong and wrong is right (Isaiah 5:20). Satan’s illusions, deceptions, and control have become overwhelmingly powerful in the political, religious, government, education, and entertainment systems of this world. We are at the tipping point of destruction.
The time is over in which we play religious games with the Word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and with His people. We can no longer sugarcoat, tippy-toe around, or walk about lying instead of telling 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s unfiltered TRUTH. And we cannot believe the same lies that our forefathers believed and passed down. Lies taught by the Father of Lies (Satan) and his children through theologies, philosophy, doctrines, and fake history.
We must step outside of the false Christian religion that believes half of the Bible was done away with and promotes lawlessness. Likewise, we must also step away from Judaism and any other religion that does not believe Yahusha was the Messiah. We are in 2024, and the TRUTH is available for those who seek it, have an ear to hear it, and have eyes to see it. It’s available for those willing to stop listening to doctrines, pick up the Bible, read it, and learn the ways of Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.
23. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in TRUTH. For the Father also seeks such, the ones worshiping Him.
24 Elohim is spirit, and the ones worshiping Him must worship in spirit and TRUTH.

What Should We Do?
In Ephesians 6:11-17 we are instructed to put on the whole armor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 in order to firmly stand our ground and withstand the strategies of Satan. The first piece of armor Sha’ul (Paul) revealed in verse 14 was the belt of TRUTH. The belt of TRUTH is not mentioned first out of coincidence but out of purpose. The 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH is central to everything a BBB does, lives, says, and believes. It is the very foundation 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 laid from the beginning of time, and it stands no matter who believes it or not and whether someone likes it or not.
To understand Sha’ul’s armor analogy, let’s examine the attire of the people of that era and the regions Yahshar’elites lived in. In ancient times, individuals wore long, sheet-like robes such as tunics, thawbs, or thobes as both clothing and protection against the scorching heat. These garments posed a significant challenge in times of combat, confrontation, or even heavy labor. The excess fabric of the long robe could severely restrict movement, rendering them slow, unsteady, and vulnerable to attacks and potential mishaps such as tripping or stumbling. Consequently, a quick and essential maneuver for a soldier would be to swiftly gather and secure the excess fabric, tightly fasten it, and tuck it into the belt. Girding up would free the soldier and prepare him for immediate action.
And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the Elohim of TRUTH, and Yahusha Messiah, whom You have sent.

The Effects of Missing TRUTH
Suppose we as BBBs refuse to gird up ourselves with 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH. In that case, we are inviting a multitude of consequential problems into our lives that will undoubtedly cost us our lives. Without the TRUTH, you will not be able to put on the rest of the armor, and therefore, the Devil will place you in bondage and enslave your mind until you are completely consumed. You can also look forward to never being free as John 8:32 teaches that it is 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH that sets us free. The very TRUTH that you refuse to accept.
Until you acknowledge the TRUTH, you will be stuck in a perpetual cycle of Proverbs 14:12 and 16:25: “There is a way that seems upright to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.” I know this sounds grim, but this is the truth. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 does not have 45,000 different truths or ways of doing things. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more. If you don’t accept the whole TRUTH, 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 will give you over to a reprobate mind and/or keep you in the strong delusion that you should believe the lie. Romans 1:24-32 and 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
To have on the belt of TRUTH is to know 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s TRUTH and live it out daily. Having the belt of TRUTH fastened tightly now allows the other armor pieces to be put on. But it starts with the TRUTH. The majority of Christians are embarrassingly ignorant of the faith and have little Bible knowledge (TRUTH). Leaving them to be easily picked apart by Hêlēl (Satan), atheists, agnostics, or those who believe in false deities. Hence the explosion in Christians turning atheist and agnostic.
The Effects on the Children Missing TRUTH
According to Lifeway Research, “70% of youth stop attending church and start leaving when they graduate from high school.”
Christian-raised children grow up not fully understanding who 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 is or who they are in Yahusha. Their understanding of the faith was poured or forced upon them with lies, half-truths, or a dumbed-down version of the gospel, leaving them empty with questions that rtheir parents nor pastor could answer or wanted to answer. In short, their faith, belief, salvation, etc., was not real to them because TRUTH was not taught.
They WERE NOT taught that the Bible is a REAL history book of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s chosen nation, the Hebrews, AKA Yahshar’elites (Israelites), not to be mistaken with Rev2:9s or Rev3:9s. Neither were they taught the feast days, but rather taught Christmas, Easter, Ash Wednesday, Holloween, etc., However, they were taught to focus on the New Testament and not the “done away with” Old Testament, not knowing that the Old Testament teaches the very nature and ways of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. They were never taught the name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 or that the name of the Savior is Yahusha, NOT Jesus, because there was no letter “J.” The letter J was invented in 1524, which would also mean that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄’s name IS NOT Jehovah.
Being a BBB is not about attending a church or being sold out for Jesus, but about accepting Yahusha and living for 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 by following His ways, precepts, and commands (Revelation 12:17). Christianity has completely stripped away the laws of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 by ignoring Torah, the prophets, and the words of Yahusha (Matthew 5:17).
Conclusion
We are losing Yahshar’elites and grafted in believers left and right because we are failing to put on the belt of TRUTH. We were taught many falsehoods that directly contradic Scripture, and we believed the deceptions and illusions. Unfortunately, and to a fault, we have NOT girded our loins with the belt of TRUTH, but have placed the belt of lies on and it is not able to hold up our tunics, let alone armor. Therefore we are restrained, slow, off balance, continuously tripping and falling and are unable to put on the rest of the whole armor of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. (Hosea 4:6) My people perish for the lack of knowledge. What good is having any of the other pieces if you don’t understand the TRUTH about them?
Questions
- What is the Helmet of Salvation if you don’t know the TRUTH about salvation, how or why we need it, who it comes from, how to get it, and how to hold on to it?
- What is the Breastplate of Righteousness if you don’t know what righteousness is?
- What is the Shield of Faith if you don’t know who or what to have Faith in and why?
- What is the Sword of the Spirit when you don’t know anything in the book and what you do know you don’t even know if it’s true? You don’t study it so you will never be able to rightly divide the word in TRUTH. (2 Timothy 2:15)
- What is the Boots of Peace if you don’t know the good news? In John 17 Yahusha prays to Abba 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 and tells 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 that He has finished the work He was given. That work was to share the good news of everlasting life. But what was everlasting life? John 17:3-6 “And this is everlasting life, that they may know You, the Elohim of TRUTH, and Yahusha Messiah, whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I finished the work that You gave Me to do. And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the existence of the world. I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and You gave them to Me; and they have kept Your Word.
We will discuss these and many of the falsehoods in the weeks ahead.
