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,
2 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.
3 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.]
4 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.]
5 Do you not recollect
that when I was still with you
I told you these
things?
6
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.
7 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.
8 And then 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.]
9 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--
10
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.
11 Therefore God SENDS
UPON THEM
A
MISLEADING INFLUENCE,
A WORKING OF ERROR
AND A STRONG DELUSION
To make them believe
what is FALSE,
12 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:
Daniel 8
10 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,
11 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.
12 And The Host [the
chosen people]
And strength were given
to [The Wicked Horn] (the Antichrist)
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 DONE 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:
Matthew 24
10 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.
11 And Many False
Prophets will rise up
AND DECEIVE AND LEAD
MANY INTO ERROR.
12 And the love of The
Great Body of People will Grow Cold,
Because of the
Multiplied Lawlessness and Iniquity.
13 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!
