Monday: The Old Lie of Immortality
Read Revelation 16:13-14, and Revelation 18:2, Revelation 18:23. What allusions to spiritualism do you find in these verses?
Such expressions as the “dwelling place of demons” or the “spirits of demons” and “sorcery” all indicate demonic activity. No wonder we have been warned that of the two great deceptions in the last days, one will be “the immortality of the soul” (see Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 588).

Of course, that’s so easy to see today. Even in the Christian world, the idea of the soul being immortal is all but staple Christian doctrine. Many Christians believe that, at death, the saved go soaring off to heaven, and the lost descend into hell. How often, for instance, after the great evangelist Billy Graham died, did we hear that “Billy Graham is safe now in heaven, in the loving arms of Jesus,” or the like? This kind of thing is taught all the time from pulpits, in classrooms, and, especially, at funerals.
Read Ecclesiastes 9:5; Job 19:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; and Revelation 14:13. What clear instruction did God give His people about life after death, and where do we find our hope?
One of the pillars of Babylonian deception is a false understanding of death, which, centered on the idea of the immortality of the soul, prepares the way for the deceptive influence of spiritualism. If you believe that the dead, in some form, live on and might even be able to communicate with us, then what protection do you have from any of the myriad deceptions that Satan has? If someone whom you thought were your dead mother or child, or someone else beloved, were suddenly to appear and talk to you, how easy would it be to be fooled by your senses? This has happened in the past, happens now, and, certainly, as we near the very final days, will happen again. Our only protection is to stand firmly rooted in what the Bible teaches and to cling to the biblical teaching about death as a sleep until the second coming of Jesus.
| What examples of modern spiritualism exist in your culture today? Why is firm adherence to the Word of God our only protection? |
Amen!

Understanding Bible Truths: The Holy Scriptures
Can we trust the Scriptures? What’s the difference between the Bible being divinely inspired or divinely revealed? These questions are answered in this first episode exploring the first Adventist belief: The Holy Scriptures. Follow along with Frank Hasel, Keldie Paroschi, and guest John Peckham as they discuss some of the most common questions about this first Adventist belief, which is a foundation for the rest of the Adventist beliefs. With Frank Hasel and other Biblical theologians here to assist in the understanding of Scriptures, you can be blessed as you find new insights and take away a deeper understanding of it all.
