Nearly "ALL" people
including MOST OF the "elect" COULD be DECEIVED.
King James Bible:
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. Matt 24:24
he that sat on him had a bow= the Pope goes forth conqueoring with his bow,
Text: Revelation 6:2 – "And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."
The real Christ will conqueor with a sword (dual= also of the word) satchel of arrows
Real Christ (Rev 19, drawing from Isaiah 49): Wields direct truth (sword from mouth), and is depicted as God's precise weapon (a polished arrow in the quiver).
Re the THRONE of IRON:
RE: The SEED OF MEN:
Again Re the Crowns:
Only 1 CROWN is in THE FALSE Christs hand. He only has 1 crown ... and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Rev 6:2 ... second stanza.
The quiver/arrow motif for Christ comes not from Revelations but from elsewhere:
How MANY "WILL" be Deceived:
My brothers and sisters in Christ, turn with me to the sixth chapter of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The Lamb has just opened the first seal, and heaven itself trembles at what is unleashed. A white horse thunders across the earth, its rider carrying a bow but no arrows, a single crown placed upon his head, riding forth to conquer—not with the clash of steel, but
with the whisper of lies.
This is no ordinary conqueror. This is the Antichrist—the man of sin, the son of perdition, the one who will deceive the nations in the final hours of this age, who is backed up by the Pope. And the question that burns today, the question the Holy Spirit is pressing upon every heart in this house, is this: How MANY "WILL" be Deceived?
Not might. Not could. WILL!!!
The Bible does not leave us guessing. It tells us plainly.
I. The Bow Without Arrows: Conquest by Deceit and False Peace
Look again at that bow in the rider’s hand. Every commentator from the early church fathers to the greatest prophecy teachers of our day agrees: there are no arrows. Why? Because this rider does not conquer with bloodshed—at least not at first. He conquers by diplomacy, by covenant, by smooth words and empty promises.
Daniel 9:27 tells us he will “confirm a covenant with many for one week”—a seven-year treaty that the world will hail as the answer to every war, every terror, every global crisis. It will be a bloodless victory. A peace that feels like heaven on earth.
Lawrence saw it clearly in that infamous image from the White House: the crossbow with no arrow, the throne of swords, the crown of serpents. The rider was announcing himself in plain sight. But the world missed it. They called it a joke, a meme, a Photoshop. Yet the symbolism was perfect: a bow without arrows. Power without immediate violence. Conquest through clever AI maneuvering.
Throughout church history echo the same warning:
How many will fall for it?
And how many will fall for it? The Bible says “All” who dwell on the earth whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Revelation 13:8).
II. The Single Crown: Temporary Power Given by Another
Notice the wording: “a crown was given unto him.” It is not his by right. It is loaned. One crown. One brief season of glory.
But when the true King returns in Revelation 19, He rides a white horse too—but on His head are many crowns. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. The Antichrist has one. Christ has them all.
The rider on the white horse is a counterfeit. He mimics the Savior, but he is a cheap imitation. He will dazzle the world with charisma, with eloquence, with promises of unity and global harmony. Commentators note his “great things and blasphemies” (Revelation 13:5), his “mouth speaking great things” (Daniel 7:8). He will be the ultimate orator, the man who makes the whole planet lean in and listen.
And the world will love him. They will say, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4.
III. The Lying Signs and Wonders: The Great Delusion
But the bow and the crown are only the beginning. The real deception comes through power that looks divine.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 declares: “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth [GOD’S 10 COMMANDMENTS], that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.”
This evil creature will heal a deadly wound and the world will marvel (Revelation 13:3). The False Prophet will call fire down from heaven in the sight of men (Revelation 13:13).= Miracles. Signs. Wonders. All counterfeit. All designed to make the world cry, “This is the Christ!”
And the internet is full of voices—preachers, watchmen, Bible teachers—who have been sounding this alarm for years:
How many will be deceived? Jesus Himself warned in Matthew 24:24: “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.”
If it were possible. Thank God it is not possible for the true sheep. But for the rest? The Bible says the whole world will follow the beast.
IV. The Heart of the Deception: They Did Not Love the Truth
Why will so many be deceived? Because they loved the lie more than the truth.
They wanted peace without the Prince of Peace. They wanted unity without the blood of the cross. They wanted a savior who would let them keep their sin.
And God, in righteous judgment, will give them exactly what they asked for: a strong delusion.
The Contrast: Our True Conqueror
But beloved, there is another Rider on a white horse coming soon. His name is Faithful and True. His eyes are a flame of fire. On His head are many crowns. Out of His mouth goes a sharp sword—that is the Word of God. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
He does not come with a bow and empty promises. He comes with a sword and final victory.
So How Many WILL Be Deceived?
The answer is staggering:
Nearly ALL.
ALL MEANS ALL
Every nation. Every tribe. Every tongue. Billions upon billions “WILL” be deceived. The merchants of the earth will weep when he falls, because their golden age died with him.
But not you. Not if your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Not if you have loved the truth and believed it.
The hour is late. The rider is already among us in spirit, and soon in person. The deception is thickening like a fog. But the Spirit of God is still speaking: “Come out of her, my people.”
Will you be among the few who see through the lie? Or will “you” be swept away with the many?
The choice is yours. But the time to choose is now, by following the truths at https://1stCenturyChristian.com/start.html
And remember that you MUST Repent of sin which is transgression of God’s 10 Commandment Law and also remember Christ specifically stated that he did NOT come to destroy the LAWs of the 10 Commandments, that were GOD’S COMMANDMENTS, not just suggestions. He came to fulfill them for you ONLY WHEN YOU SLIP while trying to OBEY. Because you are to build Godly character that can only be built by following God’s Rules. So that you do not become another loose cannon like Satan is. No loose cannons will be allowed to cause chaos in God’s Kingdom. Therefore if you can hear the call in this message today, then REPENT and believe, so that you can be 1 of the Elect who are not deceived.
Amain.
Sincerely,
