God, His holiness, and the principles found in His Word never outlive their usefulness to people and their societies.
“That day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.” -2 Thessalonians 2:3
In order to fall away,
you must have been somewhere to fall away from. That would be from those "pointless" conservative Christian values and traditions like embracing God's holiness personally and societally, embracing God's Biblical design for marriage and family, respecting the Imago Dei as pro-life, living sober rejecting the worldly dissipation into drugs and alcohol, exercising fiscal and behavioral responsibility both personally and societally, etc...
The progressive liberal wants the cross for its "free" redemption but they never want to live the lifestyle the cross demands or embrace the God of the Bible and His holiness.
When the real storm hits, and it will, they'll be knocked off their ledge.
Will they take the anti-Christ mark when it is slickly marketed to them with it's so-called economic, socio-religious, and liberal progressive "benefits?" It sure looks that way. The Bible says they will. In fact,
they'll stand in line for it like it's a new iphone.
“For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things” -Philippians 3:18–19.
The enemies of the cross of Christ who's sin is their shame. They own neither the presence nor the desirable promises of God though ultimately, they do have God's judgment to look forward to.
Both the U.S. and Europe are presently in a state of "falling away" from God and His holiness though Europe is way out in front and that's where the mark will be introduced first.
Those of us who stand with God and against the great "falling away" are few and looked upon as "out of step" with an enlightened society and more relevant apostate spirituality that embraces sinful deviations and immorality.
The lovers of sensuous worldly pleasures will eventually far outnumber the lovers of God and use their political clout to vote for legislation that results in the persecution of God's holy people who themselves will be a thorn in their side stinging and searing the consciences of the lost, the apostate, and the harlot church with their devotion to God and His uncompromising truth.
Eventually, a "superstar Antichrist" will arise in the name of progressive peace, order, and world trade supported by the immoral, the apostate, and the harlot church and change the world's systems of laws, justice, and trade resulting in even more persecution for uncompromising genuine Christians.
But ultimately, he will be exposed as a fraudulent son of Satan. The Bible predicts that his rule of terror will be short lived but totally devastating. This phony dictator who poses as a progressive angel of light will deceive almost the whole world.
Now pay attention Esanta, that's when the seven terrible and final plagues to come on the earth (plagues which are worse than all others combined in the history of humanity) are released on his followers.
"If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.” -Revelation 14:9-11
^ This is the ultimate end of the great falling away from God, His holiness, His Word, and His Gospel that is presently underway led by globalist liberal progressives
just like yourself.
I'd live in Europe rather than the US, any day of the week. Part of the reason is that traditional conservatism is becoming less popular every day here, and now we can move forward in a manner that's more practical and logical, unencumbered with pointless traditions that have outlived their usefulness.
