Apostasy in the Church

Much of what I write about is centered on the affairs of people and how those affairs are linked to world conditions. Since the Bible has much to say about today's world events and since the Bible is my source of truth I feel compelled to write about it. The word apostasy is not found in the Bible but the conditions it refers to are easily recognized. “Refusing to continue to follow, obey or recognize a religious faith.” (Webster) The Bible explains it this way, “But the Holy Spirit explicitly and unmistakably declares that in later times some will turn away from the faith, paying attention instead to deceitful and seductive spirits and doctrines of demons,”(1 Tim. 4:1) Of course, to understand this verse you must be willing to accept the Bible’s account of the unseen spirit world, and therein lies the problem. If you can’t dial it up on your phone, it ain’t there! Instead, the younger more tech-oriented population is putting all their faith in technology to save our declining planet. There is little doubt world attitudes regarding the Christian faith are changing by the day, mostly the result of technology that breeds itself as opposed to God-inspired knowledge found in scripture. “For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”(Prov. 2:6) The Apostasy in the church is a warning of a more sinister concern looming just over the horizon.

The falling away of the church leaves an opening for the anti-christ dictator, possessed by Satan, to gain control of earthly affairs on behalf of Hell. “Let no man deceive you by any means: The day of the Lord will not come until the turning away from God happens. And that day will not come until the Man of Evil appears, the one who belongs to hell. “ (2 Thess.2:3) The table is set for the final hours of this age. As the Earth’s residents continue to turn away from God the greater the foothold Satan gains. All the technology we love and worship today will be turned against us in Satan’s last-ditch effort to control the masses. The church is the last line of defense against Hell’s diabolical scheme to overthrow God and take full control of the Earth. Church authority will continue to weaken as more and more people turn away from the faith. The free and open society we enjoy today is slowly evolving into a lawless, out-of-control culture. “As for the work this man of rebellion and hell will do when he comes, it is already going on, but he himself will not come until the one who is holding him back steps out of the way.” (2 Thess. 2:7) The one holding him back is the Church of Jesus Christ. The final remnant of the Church (body of Christ) will be caught away, out of the world, to give Hell free reign for a short time. (Read Rapture) “Then that Man of Evil will appear.” (2 Thess 2:8) His power will be linked to modern-day technology. “When that Man of Evil comes, it will be the work of Satan. He will come with great power, and he will do all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders.”(2 Thess. 2:9) Satan’s surrogate leader will be received as the savior of the decadent world.

Without a Church influence, the world will rapidly descend into spiritual darkness allowing the man of sin to take control. This is not some mystical fairy-tail to be mocked and ignored. We are already seeing many warnings the Bible foretells about the end of this age and the return of Jesus Christ to stop the rebellion. The return of Jesus means a new and wonderful reset for the Earth just as it was in the beginning before sin contaminated the creation. The rebirth of Israel is the key that unlocked the many signs pointing to the later times and the second coming of Jesus Christ. The signs are a fair warning that God is still in control and that we should make sure our relationship with Him is secure.
