REVELATION LESSON 14


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.
