FALLING AWAY

The primary biblical prophecy regarding an increase in knowledge is found in Daniel 12:4. The angel tells Daniel to seal the scroll of his prophecies until the “time of the end,” adding: “Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase”.  And with this prophesy for the end time, also see a falling away as churches are replacing sound doctrine with feel-good sermons.   People following emotion over Scripture.  Teachers twisting the Word of God to gain fame.  A gospel without the cross, conviction, or repentance. Holiness mocked, and wordiness celebrated.  Many claiming to know Jesus, yet deny His authority as LORD.

So knowledge will increase as it is today and foundation the “Falling Away,” 2 Thess.2:1-12. “   “But relative to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and our gathering together to [meet] Him, we beg you, brethren, Not 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 word 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 [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition), 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, proclaiming that he himself is God, (Rev 12:11 & 13:11.  Seems this happens about the middle of the Great Tribulation in the 3rd Temple to yet be rebuilt with all of the pieces already fashioned, boxed and marked for delivery to the Temple Site as is made ready for the reconstruction.)

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 who restrains is taken out of the way. 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, (Rev.19.)  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 perishing (going to perdition) 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 in [who refused to trust in, and rely on] the Truth, but [instead] took pleasure in unrighteousness.” It would appear that the antichrist will begin his New World Order and World Conquest in Rev.6 and by mid tribulation will have total control over buying and selling for each individual soul on planet earth, Rev.13:15-18.  Which would take an AI computer connected to every place to purchase point on earth. Timing for this is mid-tribulation and all who take the mark to buy and sell,  loose their salvation and those who refuse the mark will be taken and killed.  But the Jews will also see the worship that is committed by the antichrist in the desecration of the new 3rd temple and they will be protected by God.  They will finally check the scriptures and see that Jesus was/in their messiah, and make Him Lord.  They are then freed from the curse and yield to His salvation. Rev. 12:17.  (Rev.6 & 12 are 7 yr. time line chapters for the 7 years of the great tribulation.)   Also we are told that just prior to this great move of God the earth will be at peace like the days of Noah prior to the Flood that floated that family to safety but destroyed the known world.  Matt.24:37, Luke 21:36.  

In Matt.25, Jesus tells us a parable about 10 virgins with lamps with a date for a wedding they were expecting.  It is getting late in the day, 5 had money but had procrastinated as it was already getting too dark for a wedding. So they turned in with what they had, thinking, well, we can get the oil (Holy Spirit) tomorrow and have plenty of time.  I can hear them saying, “who has a wedding at night.”  But at midnight the Groom did come for the wedding.  And their lamps were going out so they asked to borrow.  But the other virgins only had enough for the night and told them, “Go buy for yourself.  They had money so went,  but when they returned with the oil, the other 5 had already gone into the wedding, and the door was shut like the Ark.  They then knocked and were told by Jesus to go away, HE said, “I don’t know you.”  This consideration is a consistent teaching in much of what Jesus taught.  Matthew 7:20-24, “Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits of the Holy Spirit.  “ Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.  Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?  And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My loving commands].  So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock, Isa.28:16-20.”

So we are told that in the end times that knowledge will increase.  That there will be a falling away.   That it will be a time of normal family relationships.  And that if we are not really ready, we could be left behind with no second flight.  Tonight, in thinking about this I tuned into a You Tube, AI Grock review of Bible Prophesy:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZrFpTZ-eZ8 and I found it very interesting and well worth the time considering it.  Hope you will do the same?  Grock came up that there must have been a single author.

Basically, from my perspective, seem like the one single prophesy that would need to be fulfilled prior to the Lords coming is the world talking about peace and safety, 1 Thess.5:3.  And we have a president doing just that.  I know that some feel the Church goes through the Great Tribulation, I don’t believe that it does.   So you need to do your own in-depth search of the scriptures for yourself as it is very important issue of doctrine.  We can see by the Jesus prophesy in Matt.25, Luke 21:36 & 2 Thess.2:1-12.  Our human nature, tends to procrastinate if we know an exact date.  If Jesus evacuates His Church, are you filled with the Holy Spirit?  Could you miss the flight as did the 5 foolish virgins by procrastinating?   There was no backup,  no second flight, 1 Thess. 4:13.
