The anbtiChrist will be such a person, one who can talk a good talk, but the Bible says will lead people astray. I know men of the supposed cloth who have lived far below Jesus' standards, but it is said the teachers will be judged more harshly, for they have taught others. The Levites necessitated the arrival of God as man, Jesus, because their actions belied their words...which is why the word Hypocrite was used 19 times in the Bible--and each time by Jesus. Hypocrites say one thing and do an entirely other. The Levites, as we learn in Chapter 34 of Ezekiel, did not obey the Lord, they were narcissistic, wanting their own glories and not God's. There is one and only one totally reliable source--The Bible, God's word. I wish my wife, whom I had thought to be a Christian woman, had been as she professed to be. I learned only after I had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit how that was a woman of the flesh, a woman who followed darkness and strayed from light...a woman who claimed she was wandering in the wilderness, yet when she heard God's word, dismissed it. She had no conscience with the things she did, so she could not accept the blames, the blemishes. She was disobedient, and her actions in the end--pill addict, alcoholic, liar, false witness,,,came back to haunt me because I had not paid attention to the Be-Attitudes. Circumcision was to be of the foreskin of the heart as far back as Deuteronomy. Circumcision of the skin was just a sign of acceptance of the Abramic covenant, but if the covenant/relationship, was to have changed, then the new sign was to, as well...and in Ezekiel 34, God tells the prophet clearly that one will not be judged as blessed merely by being one of the flock. When He comes down, He said, each one would be judged for him or herself. The need for a sign of acceptance was a pure heart, a contrite heart, a sharp mind and the willingness to do duty to the Lord. It is for that reason I truly respect those who honor the Lord with their actions...they are more than qualified. The thing about Judaism is NOT ALL MYTH, though...the myth comes when those who were supposed to remain loyal to God strayed, and taught that their system was the right way, even when God told so many, many prophets this was not to be the case...their disobedience was to lead to the end of the Levitical priesthood, as Hebrews says. A perfect sacrifice--the Paschal Lamb-- a perfect priest ala Melchizedek--God Himself incarnate--was what was needed.
