“But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons” producing a counterfeit gospel message."
- 1 Timothy 4:1 -
“Apostle Saul also called Paul,” was shown “the coming apostasy - the great falling away” of many professing believers because they were unknowledgeable of sound biblical doctrine, and unaware of Satan’s deceptive schemes. (Acts 13:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3) Yahveh God says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” And for not having a love for uncompromised biblical truth. (Hosea 4:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:10) With many tears Apostle Paul also stated, “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.” (Acts 20:29-30) “No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants [preachers and teachers] of righteousness, …” (2 Corinthians 11:14) “But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,” producing a counterfeit gospel message. (1 Timothy 4:1) Apostle Paul prophesied that “the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God’s truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with self pleasing doctrines], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers” who will reinforce their self centered passions and lusts for worldly gratification.” (2 Timothy 4:3 AMP)
Yahshua (Jesus) gave this warning, “Watch out that the light in you is not darkness!” There has to be the denial of our flesh and the idolatrous longings for the things of this world.”
- Luke 11:35 -
Paul was grief stricken that many believers would be enticed to rebel against their holy God. He said, “I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his deceptive cunning, your mind and heart will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Messiah.” (see 2 Corinthians 11:2-3) Paul foresaw that Satan’s ambassadors were going to come and preach “another Yahshua (Jesus) [a counterfeit]” whom he had not preached, and many would be deceived to easily receive “a different spirit,” and “a different gospel” (refers to 2 Corinthians 11:4) It is a sad reality that so many churches are filled with superficial believers who do not want their comfort zone disturbed and will not tolerate messages regarding sin, the need of repentance leading to righteousness, and the requirement of being cleansed with the atoning sacrificial blood of the Lamb. Due to this self-centered, self-pleasing, and self-righteous rebellious mindset, they are further deceived by Satan to call “… evil good, and good evil; and substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;…” (Isaiah 5:20) Yahshua (Jesus) gave this warning, “Watch out that the light in you is not darkness!” (Luke 11:35) There has to be the denial of our flesh and the idolatrous longings for the things of this world.
Yahshua (Jesus) said that although many would want to enter heaven the reality is “the path is difficult and narrow and very few people will find it.”
- Matthew 7:13-14 -
Apostle Paul prophesied, “that in the last days perilous times will come: For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, … unholy, unloving, …without self control,… lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God having a form of godliness [religion] but denying its power. … Always learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth… But evil people and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5,7,13) Paul’s words, “they have a form of religion that denies its power”, describes so many professing believers and congregations. They have the outer appearance of godliness but inwardly there is no presence of the Holy Spirit who has departed due to their “double-minded” profession of faith. (See James 1:7-8) “Many are called and few are chosen” and few remain faithful. (Matthew 22:14) Yahshua (Jesus) said that although many would want to enter heaven the reality is “the path is difficult and narrow and very few people will find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14) “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness [breaking the commandments of Yahveh by continuing to live in the flesh and its idolatrous preoccupations for the world].’ (Matthew 7:21-23,25:11-12, Luke 13:25)
Messiah addresses this sorrowful condition of those who casually call Him ‘Lord and Savior,’ He proclaimed, “‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far away from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men’” rather than the full council of pure biblical truth. (Matthew 15:8-9) Yahshua (Jesus) said, “Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3) Repent, repent, repent for “Yahveh is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.” (Psalm 96:13)
