Some Will abandon The Faith

The Spirit clearly says that in LATER TIMES some will abandon the faith

And follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (1 Timothy 4:1)

From Daniel 8:

Out of one of them came another horn,

Which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east

And toward the Beautiful Land [Israel].

It [the Horn, the Beast of Revelation]

Grew until it reached the host of the heavens

[It grew to be the greatest nation on earth],

And threw some of the stary host down to the earth and trampled on them.

[The Horn, the Beast of Revelation, through Satan's deception,

Causes Christian men and women to go into apostasy

And then be trampled upon by the godless.]

It [the Horn and the Beast of Revelation]

Set itself up to be as great as the Prince of the Host [Christ Jesus;]

It took away the daily sacrifice [worship of God] from Him [Christ Jesus],

And the place of His [Christ Jesus'] sanctuary was brought low.

Because of rebellion [in the Church of God],

The host of the saints [Christians] and the daily sacrifice [worship of God]

Were given over to it [the Horn, the Beast of Revelation.]

It [the Horn, the Beast of Revelation] prospered in all it did,

And Truth [the Truth of Christ Jesus] was thrown to the ground.

Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him,

“How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled--

The vision concerning the daily sacrifice [worship of God],

The rebellion [the apostasy within the church of God] that causes desolation,

And the surrender of the sanctuary [the forbidding of worship of God]

And of the host [Christians] that will be trampled underfoot?”

He said to me, 'It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings;

[Approximately,three and one-half years]

Then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”

[Christ Jesus will return and set up His Eternal Kingdom on earth,

The Millennium.] (Daniel 8:9-14)

The apostle John was told:

“Go and measure the Temple of God [all those who claim the name of Christ]

And the altar, and count the worshipers there.

But exclude the outer court [those not in right relationship to Christ Jesus;]

Do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles [the godless.]

They will trample on the holy city [the Temple of God;

Those who claim the name of Christ but are not in right relationship to Him]

For 42 months [or three and one-half years. (Revelation 11:1-2)

Today, there is a brief time before the Beast, the Antichrist is revealed.

When God sends His Great Delusion it will be overwhelming,

So strong as to deceive even the Elect, if that were possible. (Mark 13:22)

In order not to be deceived

You must be in right relationship with Christ Jesus; that is:

Crucified with Christ to this world and no longer living;

Allowing Christ to live fully in you; His power at work in you.

Your heart must be set on things above, Heaven,

Your life hidden with Christ in God.

You must be clothed with the garments of Christ,

With His Word dwelling richly in you.

Gather with those who understand this.

As Christ Jesus said:

Be always on the watch,

And pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen,

And that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

I pray that all who read this will be able to escape all that is about to happen

And stand before the Son of man unashamed.

Today, Christ Jesus is saying to us:

See, I have told you ahead of time. (Matthew 24:25)
