Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 12-14-22: Milky Christians

Events in this world take time to come together. The prayer we as Christians send to the heavens for patience is all-too needed, and then we’re usually sorry we ever asked. Those of us looking for the pre-Tribulation Rapture are sure that God missed the timer going off to alert Him that this sinful world is all-too-ready for judgment. Waiting for Him and His perfect timing is hard. I’m sure it’s the reason Jesus spoke to the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3:7-13 the Words of encouragement that He did. Realizing that they had little strength, He commended them for enduring patiently. How perfectly that fits us today as we see and experience the disintegration of morality with all things decent and sensible crumbling all around us. Sometimes it feels like we’re holding on with our fingernails; we just need to do so by not grasping onto an old-fashioned chalkboard with its nerve-tingling screech. Since the Bible is always a now Word, then the past tense for the Philadelphia church enduring patiently also applies to us. Remember how when the Apostle John saw the visions of the events in the Tribulation, they had already happened in the way God sees them outside of time. So it is for us. Our patient endurance is already a fait accompli, i.e. an established fact, from God’s perspective.

And this is important, because even though the Tribulation seems at times to be upon us, we have to remember that all the things which happen then must be set in place now. Given what’s going on around us, we can’t help but think that surely that terrible time upon the earth may even have already begun. But no, the Tribulation casts long, yet ever-shortening, shadows. However, that’s what they still are: just shadows. When the real thing is upon the earth, people won’t have any doubt. We think it’s bad now – just wait. Once the Tribulation begins following the Rapture of Christ’s true church and the stepping aside of the Holy Spirit, what is seen as lawlessness now will morph into a supernatural chaos that most of us can’t even begin to picture. The anarchy that will descend among the beings on this planet is indescribable, because of the extent of lawlessness, hatred, cannibalism, probably giants that look like men and beasts that appear from the pages of mythology, not to mention robotic creations that will kill their targets on sight – no, this poor old planet hasn’t seen anything like this yet.

Sadly, far too many Christians aren’t holding onto solid doctrine as they encounter this worsening world. They are believing false ideas and philosophies and embracing non-Biblical concepts that are leading them astray.

Today we’ll consider one such example, plus briefly discuss several other notions and views that are the exact representation of what Jesus meant when He said not to be deceived in these latter days. Deception is rampant, and the church is falling for it far too much. Its extent ranges from a skewed understanding of the Rapture and what that implies, to adopting New Age/occult beliefs that can do nothing but harm one’s relationship with Jesus, to following false shepherds who apparently don’t even read the Word of God given what they speak from the pulpits. Satan and his minions are scratching the itching ears of a Biblically-illiterate church. That’s a terrible thing for Christians to fall for and, just as bad, results in a weak or non-existent witness to unbelievers who desperately need the truth of the Gospel from reliable sources in these times.
