For I know this,
that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing
the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things,
to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the
space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
The most powerful and deadly assault against the Church during these
end times is deception. Christ warned of
this throughout the Olivet discourse, with direct or indirect references to
guard against deceit seven times. An
eighth reference describes the same condition in the world as in the days of
Noah, when the people refused to heed the warnings Noah spoke by the Holy
Spirit and continued in their unrepentant state. God, in His covenant keeping faithfulness
which endures forever, has sworn never to destroy the earth by flood
again. Indeed, it is the very perversity
of fallen mankind’s own wickedness that is sweeping the earth like a tsunami
now, threatening to eliminate even those in the Church who fail to listen to
the Holy Spirit in these perilous times.
The writing is on the wall to heed the wake-up call!
Jesus says it this way:
“Behold,
I have told you before.”Related Scriptures: Matthew 24:1-51; Hebrews 11:6-7; 2Peter 2:1-22
