More Warning Shots

By Michael Youssef, Ph.D.

In Revelation 10-14, John explains that the time for those who have refused to accept the Lord Jesus Christ is growing even shorter. This is describing the middle point of the tribulation. The first three and one-half years will be horrendous, but the last half of the tribulation will be unbearable.

The Antichrist will befriend the Jews, only to step back on his promises. Suddenly, he will break his agreement with the Jewish people and invade the temple. Many will lose their lives as this man of sin reigns over them.

Two of the greatest forms of deception are neutrality and complacency. The Antichrist will be a master in both of these areas. If we are not careful, we will be lulled into a spiritual sleep that prevents us from hearing and understanding God's warning.

You may wonder how this will happen. It is simple: Compromise and denial wear away at the sharpness of our convictions. Two years ago, we may have viewed a certain sin as being unacceptable. But today, in an effort to appear accepting and politically correct, many believers find themselves justifying and even embracing the very sins that God calls abominations.

What does this have to do with John's words in Revelation? Everything. The increase of sin and our acceptance of it points to the coming of the latter days when men and women will turn away from God and completely reject His holiness.

Instead of worshiping the Lord, they will worship themselves and their desires. Because Satan is a liar and a deceiver, it is imperative that we ask God to make us sensitive to His voice and convict us with a deep sense of warning whenever we start to drift away from Him.

They overcame [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony (Revelation 12:11).

i dont know how to tell the world, it's so soon, Jesus is coming so soon

When he is coming and how soon has always been like tommorrow, IT NEVER COMES and never will.
What you have just posted has been (and will continue to be for several generations after ours) the status quo for over 300 years. evil was set from the days of Noah and has not changed since solely because Man's nature is SIN, bros Jesus barely escaped our hands, what makes you think he'll try a second time, now that we have kidnappers everywhere

U might be long gone when he returns

Hurbaroh:
