DECEIVABLENESS; DECEIVE

de-sev'-a-b'-l-nes, de-sev' (nasha', "to lead astray"): "The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee" (Jeremiah 49:16), i.e. "Thy stern mountain fastnesses have persuaded thee that thou art impregnable." In Jeremiah 20:7, "O Lord, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived," pathah, signifies "to be enticed," "persuaded," as in the American Standard Revised Version and the Revised Version, margin.

In the Old Testament most often, and in the New Testament regularly, the various words rendered in the King James Version "deceive" denote some deliberate misleading in the moral or spiritual realm. False prophets (Jeremiah 29:8), false teachers (Ephesians 5:6) and Satan himself (Revelation 12:9) are deceivers in this sense. In the gospels, the King James Version "deceive" (planao, 9 times Matthew 24:4, 5 parallel Mark 13:5, 6 parallel Luke 21:8 Matthew 24:11, 24 John 7:12, 47) becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "lead astray"; the same change is made in 1 John 2:26; 1 John 3:7; but elsewhere (13 t) both the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) render planao by "deceive."

"Deceivableness" (apate), only in 2 Thessalonians 2:10, signifies power to deceive, not liability to deception; the Revised Version (British and American) "deceit."

Deceivableness refers to the quality or state of being able to deceive or mislead. In the biblical context, it is often associated with false teachings, the influence of Satan, and the susceptibility of individuals to be led astray from the truth of God's Word. The concept is closely tied to themes of deception, falsehood, and spiritual discernment.

Biblical References

The term "deceivableness" is notably mentioned in 2 Thessalonians 2:10, where the Apostle Paul warns of the coming of the lawless one, who will operate with "all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing." The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as: "and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them." This verse highlights the danger of being deceived due to a rejection of the truth, emphasizing the importance of embracing the love of the truth to avoid spiritual peril.

Deception in the Last Days

The New Testament frequently warns believers about the prevalence of deception in the last days. Jesus Himself cautioned in Matthew 24:24 (BSB): "For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders that would deceive even the elect, if that were possible." This warning underscores the potential for even the faithful to be misled by powerful deceptions, necessitating vigilance and discernment.

The Role of Satan

Satan is often depicted as the ultimate deceiver in Scripture. In John 8:44 (BSB), Jesus describes the devil as "a liar and the father of lies." His primary tactic is to distort the truth and lead people away from God. Revelation 12:9 (BSB) further identifies Satan as "the great dragon... who deceives the whole world." This portrayal of Satan as a deceiver serves as a reminder of the spiritual battle believers face and the need to remain grounded in the truth of God's Word.

False Teachings and Prophets

The New Testament epistles frequently address the issue of false teachings and the deceivableness of false prophets. In 1 John 4:1 (BSB), believers are instructed: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." This exhortation highlights the necessity of discernment and testing teachings against the truth of Scripture to avoid being led astray.

Guarding Against Deceivableness

To guard against deceivableness, believers are encouraged to be rooted in the truth of Scripture and to cultivate spiritual discernment. Ephesians 4:14 (BSB) advises believers to mature in their faith so that they "will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming." This maturity in faith acts as a safeguard against the deceptive influences that seek to undermine one's spiritual foundation.

Conclusion

While the Bible does not provide a specific conclusion on the topic of deceivableness, it consistently emphasizes the importance of truth, discernment, and vigilance in the face of deception. Believers are called to remain steadfast in their faith, grounded in the Word of God, and alert to the spiritual dangers posed by deceitful influences.Bible Concordance • Bible Dictionary • Bible Encyclopedia • Topical Bible • Bible Thesuarus
