I don't believe we are as close to the end of the Church Age as it seems. Western civilization has collapsed. The USA has traded in American Exceptionalism for the European nightmare. We have become a Godless nation, but even as we rebel against God, Christianity is growing in Asia, Africa, central & south America.
2Thes. 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed.
I posted it open to everybody so that they can either continue to mock & scoff at it (2 Peter 3:3-7) or at least try to reason with logic that maybe it could happen & soon.
I notice most who do mock will not use scripture to back up their reasoning.
IMHO we’re there at the end of this Church Age. The violence that Paul talks about has been here for some time, and the waxing colder & colder gets worse by the day. The falling away in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 has been happening for sometime throughout the traditional Christian world.
The technology of Revelation is here now! In twenty years, this world will have eclipsed it by a long shot if the Lord tarries that long. Scientists are talking about Transhumanism and Singularity now as if we’re approaching that point with the use of chips, scanners, & nanotechnology.
Might be Christianities last stand in those countries....but with those precious few true conversions we're also seeing a huge false Jesus being preached there.......one of great sensationalism and taught as experiences which are then integrated into a false gospel message.
