An Often Overlooked Sign of the Last Days

[mpaper345]

True,which these things we should know about more than the other signs,so we do not slip in to any false interpretations of the Bible.

As time goes on the truth of the Bible gets more distorted in the eyes of many people,and with the new age movement,and their false interpretation of the Bible,that embraces all religions,is having a big impact on people's interpretation of the Bible,for it can branch off in many different outlooks,which results in believe what you are comfortable with,although to one in the truth,it would be confusing.

I believe a lot of people will not get sucked in to it,but it is more for people that do not know the Bible,and as the new age movement gets more popular in the future,it will become the standard interpretation of the Bible.

The best thing to do is never let go that there is a personal God,and Jesus is the savior of the world,and to keep yourself humble,and allow the Spirit to lead you,for the new age movement interpretation of the Bible does not do that.

The new age movement embraces all religions,and has an interpretation of the Bible,based on evolution,that exalts people,and diminishes God.

Because of this they will mix and match different religions,where one may like 20 percent Hinduism,30 percent Buddhism,and 50 percent the Bible,which the ratio,and belief,will be different from person to person,resulting in many interpretations to fit whatever they want to hear.

And since it is based on evolution,the attitude is,to each his own,whatever suits you best on your quest for spiritual enlightenment,which can result in many different beliefs,but the new age movement will adhere to the Bible,although they will embrace other religions,because of Alice Bailey.

This will result in spiritual deception in the highest order,for it is of the occult,nature worship,and witchcraft,and the Bible testifies that many will get sucked in to that false interpretation of the Bible(2 Timothy 4:2-4).

That is very wise You say the deceiver is your flesh. I am curious to know if you could expound some more upon this idea? I am in full agreement with you, by the way I would like you to expound upon it further because I just had someone talk down to me because I said that Satan is in dwelling. It does seem to me that we have the right to be called children of God because God indwells us... and Jesus told certain people that they were children of the devil, so it would follow that Satan also indwells people. Would you agree with this? And that since our battle is a spiritual battle, we still engage in an inner battle against the enemy of life? Even though He Who is in us is stronger than he who is in the world, and we have been called out of the world, for we are still in the world, though not of it... Thank you!

Either I believe Jesus or I believe my carnal intellect, my carnal instincts, my carnal perceptions, my carnal emotions. That's the only "battle" I'll ever fight. The flesh (carnal mind) doesn't submit to God so I can't trust it. The flesh is anti-Christ. But we are crucified with Christ and He now lives is us, making us one with Him, giving us His mind, His Spirit, His wisdom. In reality, in actuality, Jesus puts Himself in us, and we more & more take on His identity and begin thinking through His Spirit.

That is true Willie.....there is a religious/political "spin" that comes against the gospel of the grace of Christ. This guy back in 2010 way before Dr. Brown came out with the term taught on why the gospel of grace is being attacked. He shows that Stephen was killed for it. Paul was repeatedly attacked and slandered with the accusations that he was saying they could sin all they wanted " Romans 3:8

It's in the "spin" and "twists" of what is really being said that is deceptive and slanderously done.

Watch this video and see what is really happening behind the scenes. He describes things he was being accused of which was total foolishness and lies and slander as usual. It's an eye opener!

Ahhhhh what marvelous news!!!!!!! How I pray everyone on this site gets the opportunity to hear this man proclaim how Jesus transforms us in the liberty of His Spirit. \ /

I just got that....staring at the very thing that reveals the cancer only but it cannot do anything to get rid of the camcer..it just shows it up.....thank God for the grace of Christ!

Here is another often overlooked sign that the end is near .....



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

 

[Stephen63]

Not all...

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(2Th 2:3-4)


I believe that this 'apostasy' which will happen before the man of sin is revealed will be the result of a massive influx of false teaching.

As it restates here...

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2Th 2:10-12)

Someone mentioned there's two main sides on this forum. They're right. One is for the apostasy, the other for the truth.

But which is which? Is the majority correct? Or is the small number to be trusted?

The apostasy IS happening right now at an alarming rate..... been happening for years now.

There's a scripture that can be trusted to determine which group is right, for it mentions both when you look at it.

Matthew 7:13-14 (NASB)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. [SUP]14 [/SUP]"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Even an unconverted sinner can count the number on each side & determine who the apostates are..... but those on the apostate side can't, for they have been blinded, as the scriptures said.

 

[skylove7]

Sure, there were even many false teachers in the OT beginning with the serpent in the Garden.
My point is simply that the proliferation of false teachers will mark the last days before Christ's return (with the emphasis on 'proliferation'). Jesus repeats this 3 times in His discourse in Matt 24, whereas the other signs were mentioned only once.

Meh.....
False prophets, bad comedians lol is there a difference?
'Oops I Did It Again'....'Oops There Goes Another Rubber Tree Plant'..."Oops I did an Oopsie...sorry here's your future and mind back....with a Hallmark card....Hallmark cards going out of business....tarot cards are a no no...play God, you're not playing with a full deck....Vincent Price as Prince Prospero....
Lol
I'm getting no where here

 

[crossnote]

Sure it does. Paul didn't teach one gospel to the Jews and another to the Greeks. He taught one gospel to both and pronounced a curse on anyone who taught another gospel than he taught. I seriously doubt that the apostles fell into that category.

No one is teaching Paul taught two Gospels when it comes to MAD. The question is did the church begin in Acts 2, 9 or 13. Classical dispensationists say 2.

Yes indeed ... this is where our close, personal relationship with God really comes into play. Only He can truly keep us from being polluted with the leaven of false doctrine.

What church? Church means house, the "house of Moses", the "house of David" and a church did not start at Pentecost. Religious minds of men teach the concept the "Church" started at Pentecost, not God.

The Church which consists of the Body of Christ made up of believing Jew and Gentile from Pentecost to the Rapture.
Which church are you thinking of?

 

[crossnote]

An overlooked sign is the population explosion and China itself has surpassed that.

I don't recall over population being a sign of the last days, rather God told man to populate the earth.

Hello CompletInHim,

The above is incorrect. For Jesus said, "I will build my church (future tense) and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." The words "I will build" would demonstrate that the church was a new entity that Christ began to build and therefore is separate from the nation Israel. The church is made of both Jew and Gentile and is not under the Law of Moses, where the nation Israel did not recognize Jesus as their Messiah and therefore they consider themselves as still being under the Law of Moses and are still waiting for their Messiah. God is going to deal with Israel proper in fulfillment of that last seven years, which will bring to close the seventy sevens that were decreed upon Israel and Jerusalem (Dan.9:24-27).

I don't recall over population being a sign of the last days, rather God told man to populate the earth.

Genesis 6:1 ¶ And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.



Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

So if we compare the days of Noah to the coming of the son of man then what do we have today with the immorality in the earth? It was the same back then and they were experiencing a population explosion.

Yet 'our truth' must align with Scripture lest we be found teaching falsely.
What will be the standard when two or more gather?


Acts 17:11 KJVS
[11] These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

 

[jasonj]

And I believe Paul was speaking of the Antichrist sitting in that temple of God there in 2 Thess.2:4 is... what will cause the "strong delusion" he warned us about. The servants of that Antichrist preparing the way for that are the "many antichrists" that have long since been at work.

the dome of the rock has sat on the temple mount for hundreds of years. is inscribed on all 4 sides of the ceiling, "God has no son." in other words its ridiculous to say God has a son ect...ect... anti-Christ sitting on the temple mount?

Over population wasn't the problem, rather

Genesis 6:5 KJVS
[5] And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Been some huge... displays of that very thing in a lot of Churches today, bringing in representatives from other religions to put on religious shows as a type of cultural exchange program. I recall one Church in Chicago that allowed Buddhist monks to chant Buddhist mantras standing right over the Communion table of Christ! And need I even mention Robert Schuller and his Crystal Palace false church teachings of New Age doctrines mixed with Christian doctrine?

Those of the New Age movement really hate... us Christians which declare only One Way of Salvation through The Blood of Jesus Christ. Reason is because of how Satan intends to join all religions together for the end so as to try and destroy them all, and put worship of him in its place. The Luciferians here already worhship him, and that's what they want the rest of us to do at the end.

No one is teaching Paul taught two Gospels when it comes to MAD. The question is did the church begin in Acts 2, 9 or 13. Classical dispensationists say 2.

I thought Apostle Paul answered that already...

1 Cor 10:1-4
10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
KJV

Christ's Church is not about the start of some building with a sign out front that says Christian Church. So there's Heavenly history about Christ's Church, and then there's man's secular history of when Christ's Church began, two different things.

the dome of the rock has sat on the temple mount for hundreds of years. is inscribed on all 4 sides of the ceiling, "God has no son." in other words its ridiculous to say God has a son ect...ect... anti-Christ sitting on the temple mount?

The temple upon that mount today's Jews are getting ready to build won't be the layout of Ezekiel 40 through 48 either. What does that tell you about those structures by men?

You did catch what our Lord Jesus said for His second coming about those structures on the temple mount, didn't you?

Mark 13:2
2 And Jesus answering said unto him, "Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
KJV

Even the huge stones of the old western wall are still standing there in Jerusalem today (Wailing Wall). Would the coming false messiah tear those down? No, which is why he has his servants today deceiving the Jews into believing this next temple in Jerusalem will fulfill Zechariah 6.

Zech 6:12-13
12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, "Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
13 Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."
KJV
