REVELATION
LESSON 14
ARE WE LIVING IN THE END TIMES?
REVELATION 9:20-21 20 And the rest of the men which were
not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that
they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and
stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries,
nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
At this point the rest of mankind who were not killed by these
plagues were so hard hearted that even the plagues did not drive them to God. Those
remaining on earth at this time will persist in their sins, refusing to repent
and continuing to reject Jesus.
Two of the six sins that will be prominent during the tribulation period
are demon worship (satanism) and Idolatry. The satanic bible will be widely
read, and the church of Satan will fill its pews.
Goddess worship and witchcraft will become the new rage of the
politically correct. Statues and images of the antichrist will be common. Multitudes
will bow before them; those nations will soon learn what happens to those who
forget God.
I can’t imagine with todays people with the education of today
that they could do such a thing. Lately many turn to witchcraft, satanic
worship and other occultisms. As stated in verse 21 above.
They would not repent of their evil and wicked ways. Four more
sins of the tribulation period are murder, sorceries, sexual immorality and
theft. The unbelievers are determined to trample on the laws of God and kill
Gods children without fear or remorse. Abortion, gang warfare and terrorism
will most likely go unnoticed. We will see the slaughter of believers that were
talked about in the fifth seal. Revelation 6:9-11.
Drug abuse, astrology, signs and omens and theft will be worldwide.
The world will move from a tolerance of perversion and sexual immorality to a
blatant promotion of these sins. Evil and imposters will grow worse and worse
as the tribulation period goes on.
2 Timothy 3:13 13 But
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Most people fail to realize that the problem in Sodom and Gomorrah
was not just a few homosexuals, it was public acceptance of this sin by young
and old alike.
God has tolerated this sin all the way from Genesis to date. Todays
society has turned the corner by re-creating Sodom with the multitudes of people
who are not straight. They are allowed to marry and even allowed to adopt children,
they are even ordained in some churches to be ministers.
It is a dramatic change and certainly against the word of God.
Satan knows it and it will bring him lots of fuel for his fire.
Stealing is always bad, but the looting that occurred, the
violence and chaos when the hurricanes hit the United States and Mexico are
indications of some of the fearful things to come in the days of the
tribulation.
Instead of seeking Gods way and Gods wisdom the new age religions
search for spiritual answers from alien beings, fortune tellers and demons. Environmental
pagans are now worshiping mother earth, increasingly they are calling on Gaia,
the ancient earth goddess who is only a recycled version of Baal the pagan god
of biblical history.
This moral chaos in America is tearing apart the very fabric of
our society. There seems to be no end in sight. Drug addiction, physical and emotional
problems are becoming the enemies of America as well as throughout the world. On
the rise also are crime, riots, unemployment, poverty, illiteracy, mental
illness and many other social problems.
It is time to stop and think. Acknowledge where you are concerning
eternity. There is a real heaven and a real hell. Regardless of what people say
or what you might believe to the contrary the rapture is coming and the
believers in Christ Jesus will be removed from the planet in the twinkling of an
eye. Don’t let this opportunity pass, accept Jesus as your savior now.
Until our next lesson,
Brother Andy.
