What Itching Ears Want To Hear!

For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires, 
They will gather around them a great number of teachers 
To say what their itching ears want to hear. 
They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. 
(2 Timothy 4:3-4) 

Here, the apostle Paul is speaking to the Church of God. 
In every generation there have been apostates 
That speak what itching ears want to hear. 
What do itching ears want to hear today? 
Do Christians today gather around those leaders 
Who tell them what they want to hear? 
Yes, they do, and to their peril. 
We are in the last moment of the LAST DAY. 
Yet, who is blowing the trumpet in Zion?

There are preachers who say 
That THE END is so far away as to be on no concern for us today.
Really! Of no concern!
They will be among the most surprised
When their Lord comes like a thief as He has promised.
They will be as surprised as the Pagans.

From the least to the greatest all are greedy for gain;
Prophets and priests alike all practice deceit.
They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.
'Peace, peace,'  they say when there is no peace.
Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
No, they have no shame at all,
They do not even know how to blush
So they will fall among the fallen;
They will be brought down when I punish them, says the Lord

This is what the Lord says:
'Stand at the crossroads and look;
Ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, 
And walk in it,
And you will find rest for your souls.
But you said, 'We will not walk in it.'

I appointed watchmen over you and said,
'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!'
But you said, 'We will not listen.'

Therefore hear, O nations observe, O witnesses, 
What will happen to them.
Hear, O earth: I am bringing disaster on this people,
The fruit of their schemes, 
Because they have not listened to My words,

And have rejected My LAW.
(Jeremiah 6:13-19)  
  
The Word of God is an open Book to the Church of God, to every Christian, 
And to every nation on earth.
Those who are of a humble and contrite spirit and tremble at His Word,
Understand what God is speaking today;

This is the Bride That Christ Jesus bled and died for;
The rest have chosen their own way, which is no way at all.

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
