The GREAT APOSTASY
The "falling away from the faith"
2 Thessalonians2:1- 4 Now we request you, brethren, (1) with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, that you (2) not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.
(3) Let no one in any way deceive you, for (4) it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and (5) the man of lawlessness is revealed, (6) the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that (7) he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
Pew Research and Barna Research, both, are revealing what the corporate Church is unwilling to admit, that many are leaving the church and are not returning. But, the other half of this 'equation' is that many are LEAVING THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS - falling away from the faith - but are staying in the church .
This "falling away from the faith", alone, may not signal what prophetic scriptures has foretold regarding the "Great Falling Away" (The Great Apostasy) but, considering all has already come to pass (the breaking of the first four Tribulation Seals) you can be confident this is what is prophecied.
We are so very close to the 6th Seal. So, please LISTEN you who are Pastors, teachers, Bible "scholars" and all Christians. Please, let's get off our religious and denominational 'high horses' and sound the Shofar!
THE FIFTH TRIBULATION SEAL IS NOW BEING BROKEN and the DAY OF THE LORD and the Rapture is near.
The SIXTH SEAL of Tribulation will be broken soon and it will be too late for those who are procrastinating or for those who think they are saved but have never surrendered their lives to Christ as Lord.
We must be DOING what Jesus said we were to be DOING, or face the consequences:
Matthew 24:48 But what if the servant is evil and thinks, ‘My master won’t be back for a while,’ 49and he begins beating the other servants, partying, and getting drunk? 50The master will return unannounced and unexpected, 51and he will cut the servant to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
God has commanded us to follow Jesus, to carry on His Works, to love one another and to preach the Gospel, make disciples and to teach them to follow Him.
Let's be ready!
Your Brother and Friend,
Mike Young
