THE FALLING AWAY!

THE FALLING AWAY!

As a pastor I pray my flock comes back. As a religion demographer I'm more realistic. (religionnews.com)

This is one of the best personal articles I have seen online that identifies the "falling away" that is taking place in the entire world both the East and the West in fulfillment of Bible prophesy. Soon the "man of sin" the "son of perdition" will be revealed as to who (and it is a HE) is. Demographics, secularism, nor globalization have anything to do with the fast abandonment of the churches in every denomination by the people. It simply fulfilling the word of God.

2Th 2:3,4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, (a falling away from religion, from the church, from Jesus Christ) 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.

QUESTION: How will he be revealed? He already is being revealed if you've been watching. The answer to the question is an entire essay in itself which would cover many thousands of years. To explain it to you, you would have to have studied scripture and World and Religious history of the church in order to recognize the man of sin! Take my word for it "he is already here and has been since the 1st century A.D., but specifically since the 4th century around 321 A.D. when he officially became the "BEAST Antichrist" power Paul could have said it like this:

2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and the "ANTICHRIST" be revealed, the pope of the Roman Catholic Church System.

2Th 2:4 Who opposeth (Christ) and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he (The Sitting Pope) as God sitteth in the temple (In the Church) of God, (He is a leader sitting in the Christian Church) shewing himself (Claiming) that he is God.

There's only one Christian church on Earth that makes the claim that it's a direct descendant disseminating the gospel to the inhabitants of Earth through the apostle Peter, i.e. the successor to Jesus Christ.

This very article is written proof that "that day" of the coming Lord Jesus Christ back to this Earth is at the proverbial door. All that's left is for Him to step through that door in the Temple in heaven, gather His angels, make the trip as quick as a flash of lightning, harvest this Earth and put a stop to this madness taking place today. THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON, but before it does there's going to be a real "TIME OF TROUBLE" such as has never been witnessed by human beings take place. Most human wars last for multiple years, but this "time of trouble" of which we are now entering will be short-lived, but not before millions perish and blood floods the streets. This verse: Rev 14:20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

This is a prophetic statement that is also a symbolic statement. The phrase "the winepress was trodden without the city" eludes to the place where Jesus tread the winepress of sin on our behalf and was crucified outside the city of Jerusalem on Golgotha paying the price we owed.

The phrase "blood came out of the winepress" eludes to the eternal death of many (because of that "winepress" of sin" since the scripture states that the "life is in the blood" here: Lev 17:11(a) For the life of the flesh is in the blood.

The verse uses the word "winepress" as a parallel to those who will be eternally lost to God in the time of trouble which is an "end-time" winepress when humanity will have a choice to make either for or against God. There will be (two) eras or times before the Lord returns. 1. The time of the Mark of the Beast, 2. The Time of Trouble. BOTH make up the end of the world winepress when sinners who reject God will be eventually "squashed", "squeezed" like grapes in a grape winepress. One, the Mark of the Beast will begin and the other the Time of Trouble will begin shortly after and overlap the Mark of the Beast and terminate when the sixth (6th) of the seven last plagues falls both of these constitute the end of the world "winepress" Time of Trouble.

The phrase "even unto the horse bridles" simply means (much death) will take place during these two time periods. No, horses won't be swimming in blood is some battle of Armageddon, which will only last seconds and minutes if that long. The battle of Armageddon is a spiritual battle between Christ and Satan and will be short-lived when Jesus arrives in the 6th plague. The battle of Armageddon is eluded to in this verse which is the 6th plague: Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. The battle of Armageddon as taught by the churches today is a satanic doctrine based on fallen man's own definition of what they think it is due to a volatile Middle East.

The battle of Armageddon is simply Jesus upon His return to earth arrest both Satan and the wicked of earth and lies them dormant during the harvest of the saints. It's a spiritual short-lived battle that has nothing to do with Revelation 9:16 which is the sixth trumpet nor Joel 3:2 or 3:14. Joel 3:14 applies to the time of the Mark of the Beast which includes the entire world thus the use of the phrase "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision", YOU will have a choice to make, either reject or accept the Mark of the Beast. Joel 3:2 has to do with the redeemed "the heritage" of God and has nothing to do with the actual valley of Jehoshaphat other than it's the area, the same general area where the New Jerusalem will be located. Revelation 9:16 is the return of Jesus Christ in the 6th plague and is also known as the Second Coming of Christ when the Euphrates which represents "multitudes, nations, people, and tongues" is dried up are instantly arrested upon the return of Jesus Christ the same way Saul of Tarsus was arrested on the road to Damascus when the glory of God appeared around him. The kings of the east found here speaks of God's living saints at the time of His return who now have the way made for them, to be harvested off the earth by the angels of God. Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.

Since the literal Euphrates is today a conduit for water, the term "drying up or dried up" means the people with their Nuclear weapons will be prevented from interfering with the harvest. Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. Water, Sea, and waters in prophecy represent "peoples, nations, tongues, and peoples. Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev once said that when Jesus returns that "he would shoot Him down with a nuclear missile!" What arrogance!!! In regards to his communist policy concerning "religion" tell me if this is not what you are seeing in America today (see below)

Anti-religious campaign

The anti-religious campaign of the Khrushchev era began in 1959, coinciding with the 21st Party Congress in the same year. It was carried out by mass closures of churches (reducing the number from 22,000 in 1959 to 13,008 in 1960 and to 7,873 by 1965, monasteries, and convents, as well as of the still-existing seminaries (pastoral courses would be banned in general). The campaign also included a restriction of parental rights for teaching religion to their children, a ban on the presence of children at church services (beginning in 1961 with the Baptists and then extended to the Orthodox in 1963), and a ban on the administration of the Eucharist to children over the age of four. Khrushchev additionally banned all services held outside of church walls, renewed enforcement of the 1929 legislation banning pilgrimages, and recorded the personal identities of all adults requesting church baptisms, weddings, or funerals. He also disallowed the ringing of church bells and services in daytime in some rural settings from May to the end of October under the pretext of fieldwork requirements. (IN OUR CASE it's UNDER THE PRETEXT OF CORONAVIRUS) Non-fulfillment of these regulations by clergy would lead to disallowance of state registration for them (which meant they could no longer do any pastoral work or liturgy at all, without special state permission). According to Dimitry Pospielovsky, the state carried out forced retirement, arrests, and prison sentences on clergymen for "trumped-up charges", but he writes that it was in reality for resisting the closure of churches and for giving sermons attacking atheism or the anti-religious campaign, or who conducted Christian charity or who made religion popular by personal example. Just in case you don't believe America is becoming a COMMUNIST STATE

The battle of Armageddon is simple the arresting of Satan and the wicked to prepare for the harvest of the saints, and takes place at the (6th) plague when Jesus returns. It's not some big nasty battle fought in the Valley of Megiddo of which there is no such valley. Meggido was a small town at the lower part of a pass in the Carmel Mountain range before it opened to a large valley area that separated Eastern Jerusalem from the Carmel mountains. Meggido was a look-out city  a centennial city at the base of the Carmel mountain range pass. Now back to Revelation 14:20.

The phrase "the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs." A furlong is about 660 feet, so this would be 1600 furlongs or 1600 x 660 or 1,056,000 feet which translate into about 200 miles. 200 miles of blood at least 4 feet deep would be a lot of blood indeed, but this cannot be taken literally as it reads. It's a prophetic statement that means much death will occur before the Lord returns since "the life is in the blood." This phrase covers many thousands of years not just the end of the world events because it's found in the Revelations. Revelation 14:20 consists of a period of time that covers the whole of humanity since the death of Able until the Lord returns.

The blood spoke of here 200 miles long and at least 4 feet deep "up to the horse's bridle, if it was just as wide as the horse and no wider would be impossible to calculate in gallons of blood. If it was 200 miles long and 200 miles wide it would be even more difficult to calculate, so the phrase is symbolic and cannot be taken literally as read. There must then be another explanation for this symbolism. When you study the seven trumpets in scripture, that contains the "Three WOES" you will discover that many wars were fought over this world's history. Revelation 8:6 begins the trumpets and continues through to Revelations 10:7 the seventh trumpet that will sound when the sixth plague falls when Jesus returns. Because at that time "the mystery of God should be finished." Which is verified when the seventh plague falls. Rev16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. The (it) here is the same as the (mystery of God).

The seventh trumpet, the sixth plague fall at the same time, and then the seventh plague finalizes this earth's human history.

The Seventh Trumpet:

1. Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

The Sixth Plague:

• Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

The Seventh Plague:

• Rev 16:17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

We are living currently at the time in human history between Revelations 14 verses 8 & 9. (see below)

Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

As the article, if you read it at the beginning of this essay identifies the "nones" some 79,000,000 plus in a country that claims to be a Christian nation is a phenomenon in itself but is a fulfillment of fallen Babylon which represents the state of the apostate churches. The "falling away" from what the "nones" refer to as "organized religion" prophesied by Paul the apostle in 2Thess2:3 is currently underway not just in America but around the entire globe. The very next biblical prophecy to materialize among mankind is the below-mentioned "MARK" which concerns the beast. The third angel is about to "sound" and is (in the beginning of sounding) as I write this essay today March 10th 2021.

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand. NOTICE: The context here! The angel sounds fully AFTER the MARK has already been presented to the people as a choice. The phrase "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark", the little word (If) implies at the time the angel sounds indicates the presented MARK has already been presented as it says (If any man worship if any man receives the mark." The Mark will come while man worships within their churches while the churches still think and believe they are still the "apple of God's eye", while they still believe they are doing God's work, while they still believe they are preaching the gospel.

Just as Satan verbally deceived Eve by a strong delusion, he will, in the end, deceive the church through the strong delusion that they should believe a lie. 2Th 2:10-12 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. This is the Babylon that is "fallen" is "fallen" of Revelation 14:8. The phrase "that great city" is unique in that it identifies the "fallen Babylon" as a great city. The only world identified so-called Christian church on earth that identifies herself as a city is the Holy Roman Catholic Church that calls herself the "Holy See" i.e. Vatican City.

No other church denomination on the face of the earth claims to have a Throne upon which its leader sits. Only Vatican City with its "man of sin" the "son of perdition" known as the Pope of Rome. Fits the term of "that great city" called Babylon who controls now all the world's religious denominations. She is the sea beast of Revelation 13:1, and America is her lacky called the "earth beast" in Revelation 13:11. THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS FALLING TODAY, THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS CEASING TO BE AMERICA, THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS EXPERIENCING TODAY UNDER BIDEN "CATHOLIC SOCIAL DOCTRINE", which is why the pope of Rome is always talking about the "poor" and our "common home", he wants total control over the entire earth in and outside of the church, he is the antichrist power.

Bible prophecy is being fulfilled before your very eyes, but most folks can't even understand the bible, let alone bible prophecy. There have been many prophecies within scripture, and 98% of them have already been fulfilled. EXAMPLE: When Joel spoke this verse: Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. NOTICE: Joel the prophet didn't say when "the sun shall be turned into darkness", but only that it would happen from the time he spoke this sometime before the "day of the Lord come." Joel the prophet didn't say when "the moon would appear as blood" at no time in history since creation week has the moon (actually) turned into blood. This is symbolism concerning prophecy!

Joel the prophet merely stated two signs we were to look for from the time he spoke this prophecy sometime during the time he spoke it until the day of the Lord come, these two signs would take place. They DID! Back in 1780 A.D. Now ask yourself this question. What nation that claims Christianity as its religious practice existed back in 1780 4 mere years after the 1776 events? Ask yourself this question as a follow-up to the first one. What good reason would God have to reveal these two signs to a godless nation under communism, or to Israel who had rejected Him as Messiah? God revealed these two signs prophesied by Joel to a nation that could readily identify the signs when they happened. On May 19th 1780 these two signs spoke of by Joel were fulfilled to a people in whom God knew would recognize them when they occurred.

Remembering New England's "Dark Day" - HISTORY

THERE WAS NO ECLIPSE ON 05/19/1780

https://www.history.com/news/remembering-new-englands-dark-day

Why America and why New England? Well, the whole reason for America coming into being was God's divine will that it would be sort of a "City of Refuge" for the persecuted of the Old World. America began its existence in New England where the Puritan colonies were established, and since at the time of 1780 some 63 years before God unsealed the prophecy of Daniel in 1843 the people understood the event spoke of by Joel as the event of 5/19/1780 as the fulfillment of the prophecy. Never before in the history of the world had such an event taken place with both signs concurrent on the same day. Many of today false prophets are teaching the people that this sign must occur first before the Lord returns, what they don't know is that it has already occurred some 241 years ago.
