Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before.
Another of the apocalyptic prophecies pertaining to the last days is the proliferation of false prophets in Christendom and beyond. Back in the days of old, heathenism was at swords points against anything that savored of Christianity. But after the heinous persecution of the dark ages subsided, heathenism dressed itself in sacerdotal garments, walked right into the church, and took a front row seat.
Then, with the diabolical blend of Christianity and heathenism, the way was paved for false prophets to arise as it were from obscurity, armed with many smooth doctrines and teachings that contradict the word of God. Morality was made subservient to the clamors of the flesh, and absolute truth was made a relic of the ancients.
In addition, these false preachers and televangelists discovered that if they told persons what they want to hear instead of what they need to hear, a thriving business which brings in billions annually would be the result, and thus, church has all but become a business enterprise, rather than the Christ centered mission to save souls which God originally intended it should be.
Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord. 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits. 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
