Rude Awakening
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
- Matthew 24:10 (KJV)
Why would many be offended?
Would you be offended if:
- Your church is affiliated with Mystery Babylon (false religion)
- You are worshipping on the wrong day
- There is no "rapture" as such
- The mark of the beast is not a chip
Imagine waking up to that.
Being in the wrong church (or worshipping on the wrong day rather) doesn't mean there is no hope for you though.
God foresaw this many years ago, and is specifically warning "His people" (Christians) about it.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
- Revelation 18:4 (KJV)
Jesus, the Great Shepherd, also speaks of this group as "other sheep".
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
- John 10:16 (KJV)
So there's definitely a way out for you, but you must ultimately choose who you worship (and on what day).
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; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
- 2 Thessalonians 2:2-5 (KJV)
In the last days the gospel will be preached one final time, and then the end will come.
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
- Matthew 24:14 (KJV)
And you must decide. Do we need to keep the Ten Commandments? And if yes, what about the sabbath?
If you're in this situation, don't be offended, but reach out to God once more.
