I think that’s an astute observation.
Do you have a link for that JD sermon?
LUB BRO
The best thing Satan can do is convince everyone that it’s not going to happen and that there is no anti-Christ or devil.
Confusion is one of his best strategies.
I posted the link to that message by Pastor JD in this thread - the fact that the Rapture is being denied is a major fulfillment of a sign of Christ's return.
The denials are a result of spiritual blindness and it is more assurance that our Redeemer is coming very soon!
Yes, indeed marbren...and it's thick and growing thicker throughout the world. Often laying claim to Christ as it goes. However, the deception can only take root in those who do not receive the love of the truth; they want a lie, and God will send them a strong delusion.
2 Thess. 2:10 and 11,... that those who reject the gospel now will not be given a second chance after the Rapture, God will send them a strong delusion that they should not be saved. The people who make the eternal mistake of receiving the mark and worshiping the beast and/or his image will be deceived by accompanying miraculous signs and wonders which THEY THINK takes place from the real Christ: All the miracles we see today have to do with Idolatry. Apparitions,... statues moving eyes ,crying, blood ,milk drank by a statue .....This is all specifically addressed in Rev.13:14 and 2 Thess.2:2 as a warning..... As the evil generation went after Jesus signs when he was here in the flesh it appears it will be the same for that last generation .
(Let us reason) It is more than profound how far this nation has seperated itself from the Lord and the foundational truths stood on. So many anti-christs...claiming they speak for Him...when in fact they are liars and doing so to keep those from Christ who might otherwise come.
What's frightening is to see so many "almost Christian" teachings flooding thru the internet and that even also the churches. We knew this would come but I for one didn't expect it to be so unnoticed or in fact supported. The church is in serious trouble and yet does exactly what Christ said they would do.
The church which will remain will be like Laodicia....they fooled themselves to believing they were also on the side of the Lord yet he spits them out.
