THE ANTICHRIST
The Wile of Worldly Rudiments
David Abankwah
(SERIES: Day 4)

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, and not after Christ.
-Colossians 2:8 | KJV

Rudiment comes from the Latin word ‘rudimentum’ which means beginning. The spirit of Antichrist has a way of drawing us from Jesus Christ through the knowledge of the world’s beginning. Instead of us using the beginning to get closer to God and His Son, his strategy is rather the opposite. He uses knowledge from history to depict where every country is from and which country colonised them, making them believe that, some are slaves and some are masters. Even now, certain people who hail from certain countries still see themselves as slaves to their colonial masters of which such an occurrence of slave trading, is already time-passed.

When you trace where you come from, you will know that your ancestors might be slaves indeed. The spirit of Antichrist has made some believe that the Bible was not given to us by God from the beginning as a book to guide us, but a book which was written by some people. He has made some believe that the Bible is a book written by the whites their slaves especially the black race. So, instead of one seeing the Bible as the Book of God as man’s manual, it is believed through the spirit of Antichrist that, it is rather the Book of the whites to enslave black people. When you hear such people, you will be deceived that, the truth of God is a lie and their lies as the truth.

Many blacks are deceived that, in the beginning, the black race once served God through smaller gods and the book called Bible was just a book written by the whites to whitewash the black race of their identity, culture, and worship. So, the spirit of Antichrist is making the world believe that, as it was in the beginning when some blacks were used as slaves, so the Bible is a tool being used by the whites to enslave the blacks. Another rudiment of the world is through science, especially evolution and cosmetology. Evolution teaches that, humans evolved from apes, deceiving us that, it is not Jesus Christ who through Him all things were made in John 1:3.

The big bang theory from cosmetology also teaches us that: ‘The universe originated billions of years ago in an explosion from a single point of nearly infinite energy density.’ Also, the steady-state theory states that: ‘The universe has always existed and has always been expanding with hydrogen being created continuously.’ The creation of the universe by God over 6000 years ago, is now believed to exist billions of years with Creators of hydrogen and infinite energy density. If you don’t take care, you will be deceived by these theoretical rudiments. That is why Paul once said that, we ought to hold fast to what we have been taught so that our faith in Jesus Christ will not be neutralised (2 Thessalonians 2:14).

•| Prayer Diary |•
Lift up prayers for spiritual immunity against any depraved way or deceit of the Spirit of Antichrist that attempts to take the faith you have in Jesus Christ away through rudiments of the world in the name of Jesus Christ.

“The Spirit of Antichrist is an expert in taking off your mind from your true origin and Creator through the world’s theoretical rudiments”
