Coming Great Apostasy In Church
The coming great apostasy in Church is brewing and is on the horizon. Widespread deception is now taking place in modern “Churchanity.” Those behind such deception, knowingly or unknowingly, are drawing from the original source of all false religion—“Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and the Abominations of the Earth.” While such false teachers—in ignorance or willful determination—proclaim Satan the devil’s ancient fables as “enlightenment,” they are leading millions of churchgoers into spiritual darkness! Do you know that the Elohim in heaven allows deception and apostasy—even within the Church? And yes, many Christians in New Testament times of Bible failed to heed the warnings of Yahshua and His apostles against deceivers who would bring in false doctrines. After the death of the original apostles, the subversion of the church began to accelerate! As one of all the many real truths you will find reading on this humble ministry, our message for you today is another great truth that you must really pay attention to for the sake of your spiritual enlightenment for truth. May you have the eyes to see and the ears to hear this true and faithful Kingdom teaching. As always, we humbly ask the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh to give us heavenly wisdom in teaching you this highly important and very timely message.
The New Testament of Bible clearly shows that false gospel teachers were working within the church while the original apostles were still alive. Such counterfeit ministers were wrongly handling the Word of Yahweh (Bible), resulting in teachings that sounded good, cloaked in clever theological terminology, but were nevertheless false! Ultimately, whether intentional or unintentional, such deceitful teachings originate from the spiritual darkness of Satan the devil! Numerous passages in the New Testament describe the insidious deception that led the early church to apostatize from the truth. Apostasy is the end result of rejecting the true teachings of Yahshua the Messiah and embracing the false doctrines of spiritual darkness! This degenerate spiritual condition develops when a church becomes spiritually lax and lethargic—when its leaders teach pablum, compromise and “costless Christianity.” Christians who have lost their love of the truth—and who fail to “prove all things” by the Word of Elohim (Bible)—can easily be deceived by counterfeit doctrines. Without realizing it, churchgoers exchange their love of Elohim and their faith in His Word for a false faith in corruptible church leaders and their organizations! Such misplaced loyalty and obedience is actually a form of idolatry. The subservient obeisance demanded by the false ministers in many “fake” churches today has replaced the true love and worship of Elohim. Such “exalted” leaders have placed themselves between the brethren and Yahweh. True to the Scriptures, these false ministers have “an outward appearance of holiness,” but are guilty of “denying the power of true holiness.” We are admonished to turn away from all such leaders (2 Timothy 3:5). Ask yourself: Is your church being represented by these false ministers? If so, you better get away from that church now!
Why were some of the early New Testament churches led into apostasy? Why did Almighty Father in heaven Yahweh not intervene to keep false gospel teachers from subverting the true Church brethren? The apostle Paul gives the answer to this very question in his first epistle to the Corinthians. Notice! “For it is necessary that heresies (brought by false gospel teachers) be among you, so that the ones who are approved may become manifest among you” (1 Corinthians 11:19). The apostle John warned that we cannot have fellowship with Elohim if we are walking in spiritual darkness. Notice! “And this is the message that we have heard from Him and are declaring to you; that Elohim is light and there is no darkness at all in Him. If we proclaim that we have fellowship with Him, but we are walking in the darkness, we are lying to ourselves, and we are not practicing the truth” (1 John 1:5-6). Likewise, the apostle Peter condemned false gospel teachers who stealthily do their evil work within the church. Notice! He warned, “But there were also false prophets among the people (in the Old Testament), as indeed there will be false teachers among you (from within your church congregations), who will stealthily introduce destructive heresies, personally denying Yahshua who bought them, and bringing swift destruction upon themselves. And many people will follow as authoritative their destructive ways; and because of them, the way of the truth will be blasphemed. Also, through insatiable greed they will with their enticing messages exploit you for (personal and financial) gain…” (2 Peter 2:1-3). Many deceitful religious leaders do this now. Yes, this Bible prophecy is happening again today!
Furthermore, in his sobering letter to the church at Thessalonica, the apostle Paul gives a powerful warning that Satan’s deceptive tactics would continue down through the centuries and would reach a climax in the last generation shortly before the return of Yahshua the Messiah! He writes, “Now we beseech you, brethren, concerning the coming of our Master Yahshua Messiah and our gathering together to Him, that you not be quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled—neither by spirit, nor by word (a false teaching), nor by (a false) epistle, as if from us, saying that the day of Messiah is present. Do not let anyone deceive you by any means because that day will not come unless the apostasy shall come first, and the man of sin shall be revealed—(the Anti-Messiah) the son of perdition, the one who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called Elohim, or that is an object of worship; so that he comes into the temple of Yahweh and sits down as Elohim, proclaiming that he himself is Elohim” (2 Thessalonians 2:1-4). Indeed, the prophecies of the New Testament clearly show that this Anti-Messiah will arise out of the world’s extant political and religious system referred to in Bible as the “mystery of lawlessness.” The apostle Paul shows that Satan’s efforts to mislead mankind will culminate in the end-time deceptive work of the Beast and False Prophet of Revelation 13, leading to a great apostasy or “falling away” from the truth among many Christians around the world! But in order to abandon the faith, one must have first been a believer. After all a person cannot abandon something he or she does not have. Being deceived is the first step toward apostasy. Apostasy is not the beginning of evil, it is the culmination of wave after wave of deception. This is why Paul warned, “Do not let anyone deceive you by any means.”
Moreover, today, the knowledge of Yahweh is being pushed aside and eliminated. Basic moral values founded in Elohim’s Word (Bible), which the world had formerly accepted, are being systematically expunged or nullified in every aspect of life and society. In their place stands Satan’s “New Age” human philosophy. In a world long devoid of Yahweh’s truth, this new fusion of false spiritual beliefs will be received as a wonderful “spiritual advancement.” Not so! In reality, it will be a grand pantheon of Satan’s religions, his deceitful ministers, his false gospel teachers and his lying prophets! The most effective and least detectable method that Satan uses to deceive true believers is the promulgation of false doctrines from within their own church organizations! This is why the apostle Paul warned the Colossians, exhorting them not to allow any man to deceive or corrupt them with clever-sounding doctrines of philosophy. Here, notice what he said: “Now this I say so that no one may deceive you by persuasive speech…Be on guard so that no one takes you captive through philosophy and vain deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the elements of the world, and not according to Messiah” (Colossians 2:4, 8). The apostle Peter admonished, “Be sober! Be vigilant! For your adversary the devil is prowling about as a roaring lion, seeking anyone he may devour. Whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are being fulfilled among your brethren who are in the world” (1 Peter 5:8-9). Those who desire to follow the true teachings of Yahshua the Messiah must constantly be on guard against Satan and his seductive teachings done through his deceitful ministers and false gospel teachers! Many religious gurus don’t even know who Yahshua the Messiah is and His basic teachings. Some even twisted the Ten Commandments with their own doctrines! Yes, spiritually blinds who can’t handle Bible truths!
In closing, as true Christians on this ministry, we have a personal and holy responsibility to Almighty Yahweh and to His Son Yahshua the Messiah! We are here to teach and proclaim only the truth of the Bible, nothing more, nothing less! Therefore, we are not to allow anyone to deceive us by any means! Indeed, Satan’s final and greatest deception is rapidly developing. Once reaching its zenith of satanic power, it will sweep all peoples and nations into blatant Satan worship—replete with false signs, miracles and lying wonders—all designed to usher in the anti-Messiah! Empowered by Satan himself, the False Prophet will call down fire from heaven, proclaiming the anti-Messiah as the savior of the world. With the exception of genuine Christians who have the Holy Spirit of Yahweh, all the world will be utterly deceived into believing that the anti-Messiah is indeed the manifestation of Yahshua in the flesh—the long-awaited Messiah. Yes, people will have been prepared well in advance to accept and believe such lies! When the final and coming great apostasy in church come near its climax and the greatest lies are taught, people of all nations will accept them with open minds. Yes, the grand deception is just around the corner! The stage is now being set for the prophesied great apostasy—in the world’s educational systems, in its governments, in many churches all over the world. These inspired words were written for all true Christians, “on whom the ends of the ages are coming” (1 Corinthians 10:11). Now you have been warned by Almighty Yahweh in heaven through this humble and very faithful ministry! May Yahweh lead you to His truth and to His love to discern the fake gospel and false church leaders from that of the true Gospel and His genuine people. These things we ask and pray in the name of our coming Savior, our Master and King, Yahshua the Messiah, Amen. Halleluyah, Shalom!
