The apostle Paul saw that false apostles had come into the Church at Corinth and were puffing themselves up and pretending to have authority, preaching a false gospel. We have false leaders today preaching a prosperity message and fleecing the flock.
2Co 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2Co 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2Co 11:15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
False ones will get the surprise rejection of God at the judgement. All those big name preachers who are wanting power over the people to control them instead of preparing them to do the good works they are gifted to do. Evil workers will be judged.
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
There will always be bad apples in the church, in the police, in the civil rights leaders, in the teachers. in business and in government. It is our responsibility to beware, to warn others and if possible to remove them by voting or other legal ways. Martin Luther King said we should not be judged by our color, but by our character. In the end the false ones must face the Lord.
