What is Satan's strategy during the present Mystery Kingdom? In Matthew 13:24–43, Jesus reveals that while He is building His Kingdom, Satan is actively running a counterfeit program. Through the Parables of the Wheat and the Tares, the Mustard Seed, and the Leaven, Christ warns that the Church Age will be marked by enemy infiltration, counterfeit believers, abnormal religious expansion, and doctrinal corruption until His Second Coming.
In this message, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines these three parables showing how they fit together to reveal Satan's ongoing attempt to imitate, infiltrate, and corrupt God's work. You'll also see how Jesus' teaching perfectly aligns with the warnings found throughout the New Testament concerning false teachers, apostasy, and deception in the last days.
Although Satan's counterfeit program continues today, Jesus assures His disciples that the final separation belongs to Him. At the end of the age, Christ will judge the wicked, gather His own into His Kingdom, and establish His righteous reign.
