The End Times Churches: Broken and Beyond Repair

The network of Sunday social clubs commonly referred to as “the churches,” is broken beyond repair.

This thought will no doubt anger some who wish to cling to popular delusions, BUT the evidence is everywhere.

Church. What’s the point? – Yet another post about how to fix the apostate churches.

IF one believes the Bible is the Word of God, one has to believe the following description of worship in the end times.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
—Revelation 13:4,8

QUESTION: Just where does the reader think all of this dragon worship will be taking place? Is there a massive satanic church building plan in the dragon’s future?

Or does he just use the churches which already feature apostasy, perverse spirits, idols, witchcraft, revolt, other gospels and paganism?
–from End Times Prophecy Headlines: July 9, 2015

Many words have been expended about the antics of that apostate network of buildings known as “the churches.”

About HOW the churches alienate so many of their older members.

About HOW the churches do and say so much that is contrary to God’s Word.

About HOW congregations need to “take back” their churches.

About HOW the broken churches need to be “fixed.”

What does the Bible say about those who inhabit the end times churches?

Grievous wolves, ravening wolves, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seducers, evil men, false prophets, false Christs, ungodly men, “men…speaking perverse things,” false teachers, “them which cause division and offences contrary to doctrine…by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple,” false apostles, deceitful workers, “ministers of Satan” who present themselves as “ministers of righteousness”: this is who the Bible warns will be in the churches.

IF the reader is familiar with the described circumstance, then the question becomes: “Who will you serve, Almighty God or your “church family“?

IF the reader is unfamiliar with the described circumstance, it should give him something about which to seriously think.

As stated, many WORDS have been written about the state of the modern churches.

The churches have ALWAYS operated as Satan’s stealth system: refusing to preach the gospel, emphasizing human appetites and undermining the Word of God in hundreds of stealthy, barely-perceptible ways.

It is only NOW–in the last days–when this rebellion by the churches/those who run the churches has come out in the open that it has been revealed to many of those who hang out in the churches.

There is no fixing the churches: the churches have always been the property of Satan.

There is no “transforming” the churches.

There is no winning back the churches.

At least until the return of Jesus Christ.

DOES the reader believe that his church helps him remain true to Jesus?

DOES the reader believe he is saved?

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16

The End Times Churches: Dens of Deception

The Apostate Church has been chugging along for quite some time now.

Long enough so that what was once evil is now proclaimed to be good–and what was good is now determined to be evil.

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! “
–Isaiah 5:20

Long enough, in fact, so that heresies and blasphemies permeate the church to such a degree that few now pay them much attention.

Long enough so that the scandalous doctrines that were introduced and made popular in the mega-churches ten years ago have now seeped into the capillaries of the smaller, visible churches.

Things will get worse–much worse–but for now, many of the few remaining watchmen are being thrown off the walls by those they watch over.

These horribly-deceptive, counterfeit churches are made possible by the many who show up for an hour, throw some money into the collection and join in with lip service to God Almighty and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus described what would happen to these people who would be sitting in the counterfeit churches: the end times Church of the Tares.

“Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.”
–Matthew 13:30

The Bible describes the people who populate the end times churches.

It is not very complimentary.

What does the Bible say about those who inhabit the end times churches?

Grievous wolves, ravening wolves, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seducers, evil men, false prophets, false Christs, ungodly men, “men…speaking perverse things,” false teachers, “them which cause division and offences contrary to doctrine…by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple,” false apostles, deceitful workers, “ministers of Satan” who present themselves as “ministers of righteousness,” ear-tickling false teachers: this is who the Bible warns will be in the churches.

Jesus questioned if He would “find faith on the earth” when He returned.

It was not a rhetorical question.

“Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
–Luke 18:8

The end times churches are dens of deception.

IF they were REAL Christian churches, they would not be on street corners in every village, town and city in America.

IS the reader one of the many who have placed their faith for eternity in a building we call “the churches“?

DOES the reader have a strong attachment to the people and leaders who frequent such a building, as well as the events which take place there–instead of God’s Word?

WHAT does the reader believe Jesus was referring to when He asked if He would “find faith on the earth” when He returned?

THOUGH time grows short, there is still yet a little time left to change direction (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.

Do not wait until it is too late.

Confusion and the Counterfeit Churches

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
–1Corinthians 14:33

In the churches, there is much confusion.

One says this.

Another claims that.

In the end, they smile and mouth platitudes.

“Well, we just don’t see eye-to-eye.”

“That’s your interpretation.”

“We’ll just have to agree to disagree.”

In the end, God’s Word gets trampled by the churches.

Which is by design.

Yes, the churches are full of confusion because the churches are NOT the churches of the saints.

God is NOT the author of confusion.

Knowing who is the author of confusion will give the reader a hint about who is really running the end times churches.

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
–1Corinthians 14:33

DOES the reader sometimes face confusion in his church?

THERE is still time to change directions (repent) and throw oneself on the mercy of the LORD.

Appearances

“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”
–Matthew 24:4

There is a class of people to whom appearances are everything.

It matters not what the reality is; the appearance of reality is everything.

These people congregate in particular places.

In politics.

In con games.

In Hollywood.

And especially in American churches.

End Times Apostasy: Counterfeit Christians have Infiltrated the Churches

COUNTERFEIT CHURCH,

COUNTERFEIT CHRISTIANS

TARES AMONG THE WHEAT

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
—Matthew 13:24-25, 28-30, 42

The American Church is the epitome of confusion. Why does the reader believe this to be?

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
–1 Corinthians 14:33

So if God is not the author of confusion, how is it that the churches are full of it?

There’s really a very simple explanation.

Tares.

The majority of people who sit in churches across the USA are not saved. This is one reason so many churches are so devoid of discernment. This is one reason that popular topics in the churches are atheists, satanists and homosexuals: because even apostates and the lost can tell these are not from God. No discernment is necessary.

These topics allow the lost to believe they can distinguish between good and evil. But discernment is not knowing good from evil–even the lost can tell good from evil. Discernment is being able to distinguish between good and almost good; between good and Satan’s counterfeit of good.

1 in 3 Americans (not 1 in 3 churchgoers; 1 in 3 Americans) claim they are “born again” believers despite all proof to the contrary. In 21st century America, a person can travel the wide road to destruction, all the while believing they are saved.

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
—Matthew 7:14

Where Jesus says “Few,” the wolves in the American pulpits proclaim: “Many!”

Where Jesus says “Forsake all,” Americans are comforted with tales of “God wants you to be rich.”

“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.”
—Luke 14:33

Again, tares are the problem–as Jesus warned they would be. The churches are filled with tares–especially in the pulpits. And among the teachers in the church. And in the “Christian mass media.”

But especially among the pew-sitters.

Tares.

Among this vast number of lost souls, there is a significant number who are consciously working for the enemy but pretending to be Christians. Questioning doctrines, promoting the corrupting of the Word of God, spreading confusion, supporting the wolves in the pulpit (especially supporting the wolves in the pulpit. Many wolves would have been long gone in some venues if not for the support of infiltrators), using their lives as a testimony for sin, telling others it’s okay to disobey God–the list goes on.

Tares.

Always eager to direct anyone threatening to blossom into a true believer to another deceiver. The webs of deception spun by the wolves, apostates and the tares are long, dark and deep.

Perhaps that is why there is so little talk of Jesus Christ?

Modern American Testimony: No Jesus, No Christ

The corruption has reached such a point that the churches are now ready for the man of sin.

And the man of sin is coming.

BIBLE PROPHECY

When the subject of “Bible prophecy” comes up, so many of the lost want a chart, a timeline, a nice easy list to remember. It doesn’t matter if it lines up with the Bible or not. What they want to know: does it line up with what the popular culture says will happen in the end times?

That’s another job of the tares: to promote these non-biblical narratives among the lost in their congregations.

“Just give me something I can use! Just give me something I can remember!”

Here’s something easy to remember: the man of sin is coming and probably everyone with a chart, a timeline or one of those handy lists will be sitting in the man of sin’s whore church celebrating.

Count on it.

(Because it’s in the Bible.)

Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy: Deceiving Men Away from Jesus

TARES

Tares.

The pews and pulpits are full of tares. The churches are full of confusion. It’s taken Satan 2000 years, but he has counterfeited the Christian Church so that the visible church is rotten.

Satan Has Counterfeited the Christian Church

Rest assured: Jesus will always have the Body of Christ; the real Church; the remnant. We can be confident of that.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
—Matthew 16:18

The reader may rightly ask: is there anything to be done?

To begin with, God’s Word is true. The Bible is not very encouraging about the state of the churches when Jesus comes back. We are seeing proof positive that God’s Word is true concerning the end times. The true believer is always preparing; always picking up his cross; always separating from the world and the things of the world.

So what’s the Bible say to do?

Share the gospel.

Study God’s Word.
Watch.
Pray always.
Pray to not be deceived.
Love not your life unto death.

Don’t expect to “turn things around” or “take back your church” or any of the other unbiblical advice being promoted. God’s Word is clear: it doesn’t get better (until the return of Jesus), it only gets worse (for the true believer).

Prepare–and don’t count on the corporate church for any help.

Sadly, the American churches have become little more than a mission field: a fertile field in which to preach the gospel and win lost souls to Jesus Christ.

In the times in which we live, it’s the remnant which will be preaching the gospel–and only the remnant.

The remnant will have to preach the gospel.

It’s for certain the tares won’t do it.

Is your calling and election sure?
