HERE'S YOUR SIGN

[Dennis1209]

I wanted to share another major ‘sign’ of the end times I’m witnessing and my interpretation. It's spreading to many Christian denominations like wildfire, showing just how close we are to the end of this dispensation, and the nearness of the tribulation in my opinion. What’s your take and Biblical views of the following?

2 Th 2: 3 (KJV)   Let no man deceive you by any means; for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 

Do we see any indications today that would lead up to, and lend credence of this great falling away in our lifetime? Doing some research then checking around, I was amazed at the amount of ecumenism that is occurring in so many denominations. 

That all faiths worship the same God, all religions lead to the same God and there’s different ways to get to heaven. Are you kidding me?

John 14: 6  (KJV)  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the father, but by me.

I could cite so many examples of denominations (Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Catholic, etc.) coming together and trying to unite their differences under the umbrella of one religion, one belief and one God. It’s known by several seemly innocuous phrases and words. Interfaith, Interdenominational. etc. 

Does anyone see “One World Religion” written all over this movement?

One only has to Google interfaith or interdenominational for a dose of reality of where we are today.

Yes, and notice the Roman Catholic Church has stopped calling itself Roman. New church signs are put up for churches in my state, no reference to Roman Catholic, just Catholic.  starting 30 yrs ago when I noticed it.

Used to Mary mother of the Roman Catholic Church is now just Mary mother of the church Catholic Church.... Rome has been trying to be all inclusive in the ecumenical movement do they removed the time.

What do you think?

It is not a matter of "leading up to".  The great falling away is already here and has been present since the 19th century.

Christendom is mired in the great falling away, and it manifests itself in different ways -- ecumenism, false doctrines, false practices, false Gospel, acceptance of worldly ideas, ordination of homosexuals and women, "evangelical feminism", the Emergent Church Movement, mega churches, Messianic Judaism and related movements to revive the Old Covenant, corrupt Bible versions, rejection of the hymns of the faith for shallow choruses, contemplative mystical prayers, televangelists victimizing gullible Christians, fake miracles, etc.  Of course, the Roman Catholic Church was corrupted a long time ago, but now they still want to assert their primacy.

Christians who know the truth should faithfully continue in the faith once delivered to the saints, and not look for approval or huge numbers.

That's true, but my point is this movement has and is dramatically escalating in our lifetime. Since Vatican II we have; Conference of Catholic Bishops, Ecumenical commissions, bilateral theological dialogues, Pontifical Council, churches and ecclesial communities, World Council of Churches to name a few. It's all right there with their agenda on http://www.catholic.com

And as you rightly pointed out, feel good and prosperity gospel mega churches, false Gospels, worldly ideas, homosexual acceptance, etc. is now being accepted and is flourishing as never before. Comparing what's going on and the players involved, the book of Revelation is coming into sharper focus for those paying attention. 

Another thing I see shaping up here in America. Before long "true" Christianity will be legalized "hate speech". True Christianity will be considered a "hate organization" and "terrorist threat". These phrases are already being bantered by the subversives. Regardless of your faith and moral convictions, if you have a business or service, you're now legally required to cater to and suffer those things that are morally unacceptable and offensive. That's not my opinion, that's law. 

By the Grace of God, with His placement of Donald Trump as our next President, perhaps we may have received a temporary reprieve from national judgement if we change course and ask His forgiveness.

You are quite correct. God has given America, Christians, and the Gospel as a reprieve so that more souls can be saved before the coming judgement.

I seriously doubt that God is going to use Donald Trump as some figure-head for bringing Christian values back to the USA.

He (God) could use him for slowing down the speed at which the Nation goes full-bore, anti-Christian as a whole... but the

bulk of the Nation has already turned it's back on God, did so decades ago.

Well, I can't disagree with that but I'm hopeful. God does set Kings and leaders for His purpose, which would include presidents. What I'm seeing and hearing anyway, leads me to think we may have the opportunity to slow down or start reversing the evil direction, we as a nation have sunk into. With the appointment of a couple of Constitutional God fearing Supreme Court Justices under Trump...?

When I look at where the US. is today and the direction we are rapidly heading, I can't help but compare it to Sodom & Gomorrah.

One of the biggies is Trump appears to be very pro Israel. For a long time now we have been a part of trying to divide the tiny nation of Israel into a two state Palestinian solution. Scripture is crystal clear about what God thinks about that. To quote the evangelist Billy Graham, "if God doesn't judge America soon, He owes and apology to Sodom and Gomorrah." I personally suspect one reason God has withheld His wrath on judging our nation, is our historical support and safe haven for His people.

I don't want to lose hope our nation will not repent and seek God and ask His forgiveness. His will be done.

Every generation thinks the great falling away will be seen in their lifetime. It's no secret that there is ecumenism that is occurring among many religions.

If I may, there's a big difference between denominations and religions.

Denomination: a recognized autonomous branch of the Christian Church.

Religion: a particular system of faith and worship.

Major world religions are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.

 

Different Christian denominations are typically split into Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant/Evangelical. Among Protestants/Evangelicals there are Pentecostal, Baptist, Presbyterians, Methodist, Assembly of God, Lutheran, Anglican, Episcopal, Non-Denominational, etc.

 

So all these various religions and Christian denominations coming together soon is very unlikely.

God bless,

Interesting there G.E., if you put those two charts together, and assume them both to be accurate, then Catholics would be a part of the 12.48% other religions category?

Donald Trump a figurehead to bring Christian values back to the USA? Seriously have you evaluated Trump at all?
