THE APOSTASY PRECEDES THE ANTICHRIST

We are living in the Last of the Last Day of TIME.

The time of the Great Apostasy and the Revealing of the Antichrist.

Scripture tells us that the Apostasy Precedes the Antichrist.

In other words the Apostasy introduces the Antichrist.

The apostle Paul describes this for us. Listen:

But relative to the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah,

And our gathering together to [meet] Him,

We beg you, brethren,

No to allow your minds to be quickly unsettled or disturbed

Or kept excited or alarmed,

Whether it be by some [pretended] revelation of [the] Spirit

Or by letter [alleged to be] from us,

To the effect that THE DAY OF THE LORD has already arrived and is here.

Let NO ONE Deceive or Beguile you in any way,

For THAT DAY will not come except the APOSTASY comes first--

That is, unless the [predicted] GREAT FALLING AWAY

Of those who professed to be Christians has come--

And the MAN OF LAWLESSNESS (SIN) is Revealed,

Who is the son of DOOM (of Perdition),

[1 Tim. 4:1; Dan. 7:25; 8:25.]

Who opposes and exalts himself so Proudly and Insolently

AGAINST and Over ALL that is called God or that is worshiped,

[Even to his actually] taking his Seat in the Temple of God

(I believe this to be The Church of God),

Proclaiming that he himself is God. [Dan. 11:36, 37; Ezek. 28:2.]

Do you not recollect that when I was still with you I told you these things?

And now you know what is Restraining him

[From being revealed at this time];

It is so that he may be Manifested (revealed) in his own [appointed] time.

For the MYSTERY OF LAWLESSNESS--

That Hidden Principle of Rebellion AGAINST constituted authority--

Is ALREADY AT WORK in the World,

[But it is] RESTRAINED only until HE (the Holy Spirit)

Who Restrains is TAKEN OUT OF THE WAY.

And them THE LAWLESS ONE (The Antichrist) will be revealed

And the Lord Jesus will SLAY HIM

WITH THE BREATH OF HIS MOUTH

And bring him to an END by His Appearing at His Coming. [Isa. 11:4.]

THE COMING OF THE LAWLESS ONE, [the Antichrist]

Is through the activity and working of Satan,

And will be attended by Great Power

And with all sorts of [pretended] miracles--

And Signs and Delusive Marvels--

[All of them] LYING WONDERS--

And by UNLIMITED SEDUCTION TO EVIL

And with ALL Wicked Deception

FOR THOSE WHO ARE (GOING TO PERDITION,)

PERISHING because they did not welcome the TRUTH

But REFUSED TO LOVE IT that they might be Saved.

Therefore God SENDS UPON THEM A MISLEADING INFLUENCE,

A working of ERROR and A STRONG DELUSION

To make them believe what is FALSE,

In order THAT ALL MAY BE JUDGED AND CONDEMNED

Who Did Not Believe--

Who REFUSED TO ADHERE TO, TRUST IN AND RELY ON--THE TRUTH,

But [instead] took pleasure in UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.

(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, AMP)

Listen to the Prophet Daniel speak of the Apostasy:

And [in my vision] THIS HORN (the Beast) grew great

Even against The Host of Heaven [God's True People, the Saints],

And some of The Host and of the Stars [priests]

It Cast Down to the ground and Trampled on them,

Yes, [THIS HORN] Magnified Itself,

Even [matching itself] AGAINST the Prince of The Host [of Heaven] (Christ);

And from Him the Continual Burnt Offering (the worship of God)

Was taken away,

And the Place of God's Sanctuary (the Church)

Was Cast Down and Profaned.

And The Host [the chosen people]

And strength were given to [The Wicked Horn]

together with The Continual Burnt Offering (the worship of God),

Because of the Transgressions [of God's people]--

Their Abounding Irreverence, Ungodliness and lack of Piety.

And Righteousness and TRUTH were Cast Down to the ground,

And [The Wicked Horn] accomplished this [by Divine Permission]

And Prospered.

(Daniel 8:10-12, AMP)

Listen to Christ Jesus speak of the Apostasy:

And then Many will be Offended and Repelled

AND BEGIN TO DISTRUST AND DESERT

[Him Whom they ought to Trust and Obey]

AND WILL STUMBLE AND FALL AWAY,

And Betray one another and pursue one another with Hatred.

And Many False Prophets will rise up

AND DECEIVE AND LEAD MANY INTO ERROR.

And the love of The Great Body of People will Grow Cold,

Because of the Multiplied Lawlessness and Iniquity.

But he who Endures to the End will be Saved.

(Matthew 24:10-13, AMP)

Christ Jesus warned us all:

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will 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)

Today, the World is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being Ground to Powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

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

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
