Signs of the times
Greetings Alpha,
I am no Biblical scholar but I do read it and study its words. I depend on the Holy Spirit to lead me to the truth of the words themselves. That being said, one sure sign of the end times is the Great Apostasy, which is to occur before the antichrist is revealed.
The Apostasy is a general falling away from the original teachings of God. Our society is doing just that. We allow pedophiles to prey on children as ministers. We allow openly non-repentant sodomites to lead as priests and bishops. The church seems more concerned about its collection plates than spreading the Gospel message. Many denominations see Islam, and other pagan religions as on par with true Christianity. These are just some examples I have seen.
Many people who are true Christians, are walking away from the organized church and are forming their own little “house churches”. As disciples of Christ we do not need a pastor, rabbi or priest to do all that Christ has commanded us to do. The church as it stands today is not what Christ had intended it to be. This is what happens when man fools with God’s pure creation.
These house churches will eventually be labeled as zealots, intolerant, right wing nuts, homophobes and other derogatory terms. But they will be the last bastions of true worship of Jesus Christ. When this occurs it wont be long before the “one world” government is formed and quickly followed by the one world religion.
What do you see around you or in scripture…..
