RELIGIOUS LEADERS: FALLEN ANGELS AND ANTICHRISTS
Angels are messengers. Angels can either deliver messages of truth or lies (i.e. deception). New Covenant disciples are angels who deliver messages of truth because God’s laws are written on their hearts. New Covenant disciples are followers of Jesus Christ who are conformed to his likeness. That means they speak the truth like Jesus spoke the truth.
Religious leaders are Old/First Covenant religionists who deliver messages of deception because they are false prophets who speak lies out of their own imaginations. They do this because their religion teaches them to interpret the Bible literally — not symbolically.
