About Israel – God’s Divine Decoy for Your Salvation by Harlan Perry:
Like me, have you fallen for the pitch given by most religious institutions that you need to do something to get salvation: pray this prayer, be “born again,. get water baptized, ” raise your hand so I can pray for you”, come forward to our alter (that was mine), or dozens of other rituals so they know you are sincere. Maybe it’s time to let pure, un-adulterated GRACE be your only go to to heaven. Like Paul says your only requirement for heaven is to believe in the God that created you and the God that all ready did it all for you, including the awful pain in paying for YOUR wrongs – Christ Jesus!
Let this book be a starting point for your new total freedom to break away form the bondage of religion. Yes, you will be chastised, you will be laughed at and told over and over that is “what we already believe’ while being told to tithe, get your babies baptized and to confess your sins, you dirty, dirty sinner.
Enjoy this excerpt from the book:
There’s a whisper in the bones of many believers today, a gnawing sense that
something is deeply wrong with the religion we’ve inherited. You’ve probably felt it
yourself: the stale traditions, the formulas that don’t bring freedom, the gospel
reduced to rules and rituals, and a holy dissatisfaction that no sermon seems to fix.
You’re not alone. This book is for those like you, the disillusioned, the seekers, the
ones who hunger for raw grace and spiritual clarity in a world drowning in religion.
The heart of this book is a bold, almost scandalous idea: God used Israel as a
divine DECOY, a strategic, calculated misdirection designed to blind Satan and the
rulers of this age to His actual redemptive plan, WITHOUT LYING OR
DECEPTION. In other words, Israel, with its law, temple, sacrifices, and covenants,
was not the final expression of God’s kingdom. Instead, it was the setup of the decoy
so that when Jesus Christ came and Paul’s gospel exploded onto the scene, Satan and
his minions were caught off guard. The plan was hidden in plain sight.
To understand this, we need to get clear on what a “decoy” really is. In sports,
especially football, a good decoy maneuver is a masterstroke of deception. A
quarterback fakes a hand off to a back running past him, and if the back actually can
seem like he has the ball, it sends the defense into trying to tackle him, but instead,
the quarterback still has the ball hidden behind him and quickly gives it to another
back heading to the other side of the field, defenders are watching mostly for the first
backs actions. The defenders, misled by the decoy move, are left off-balance, creating
space and opportunity for the real play. God’s redemptive strategy worked the same
way. He made Satan focus on Israel, the chosen people, the law, the temple, all of
which looked like the main event. But in reality, it was a grand distraction, a setup for
a far greater revelation.
The Apostle Paul exposes this in no uncertain terms when he says in 1 Corinthians
2:7–8: “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which
God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age
knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” This
scripture is a damning indictment of Satan’s ignorance. The rulers of this age,
spiritual powers aligned against God, missed the entire point of the cross. They
thought killing Jesus was their victory, but it was their downfall, the turning point
where God’s hidden wisdom was unveiled.
Why did God hide the mystery for so long? Because grace, pure, unearned, radical
grace, was a game-changer that could not be stopped once revealed. Satan could
handle law, rituals, and religious systems; he thrives on control and performance. But
grace? Grace disrupts his entire system because it breaks the power of sin and death
without human effort. To conceal this explosive truth, God used Israel as a divine
decoy, a kingdom within a kingdom, a people set apart, not as the ultimate goal, but
as a stage prop for the greatest show of redemption the world has ever seen.
Many believers today are still caught in this old system, trapped in religion’s snare,
trying to earn favor with God through rules, sacrifices, and spiritual hustle. Satan
loves this because it keeps believers predictable, manageable, and ultimately
powerless. The irony is thick: the very system Satan used to try to stop God’s plan is
still seducing believers away from the true gospel. But God’s grace is louder, brighter,
and more liberating than any law-based religion. This book will show you how to
break free from religious performance and step into the freedom of Paul’s gospel, the
gospel of faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone.
If you’re tired of the hollow religion of form without power, if you’re hungry for
the real Jesus, the one Paul preached, who is not just a figure in history but the living,
resurrected Lord who calls you to freedom. You are exactly who this book is for. It’s
for the truth-seeker who refuses to settle for a gospel that’s been watered down or
disguised. It’s for those willing to walk through the uncomfortable truth to find the
glory of unfiltered grace.
This isn’t a comfortable read. It’s a wake-up call. A spiritual wake-up call!
Harlan Perry:
Only three things I feel I have done close to being right at: Letting God’s show me the path I should follow thru life, showing a good example (for the most part) for my kids and loving my wife (ok, wives!) like God says. And of course why God let me to write this book is beyond ANY thing that I could ever envision. I still have little recollection as to how it happened. Why God let me write this is simply amazing to everyone who knows me. Any one of million’s of more qualified Bible experts I would have thought could do a much better book than I. Even my wife knows more about the inward works of the Bible than I. I looked for months for similar books and only found a couple that ventured into this territory. Almost every pastor I have known would be the cat’s meow on this but apparently they and the millions of other church leaders over past 1700 years were too busy for such an activity.
