Shattering the Deceptions of the End of Days.
Lily Among Thorns Song Of Solomon 2:2 In The Last Days 2nd Peter 3:3
History reveals as the Bible teaches as it is written in Ecclesiastes 1:9, The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
The Bible records in the “Days of Old” the wicked intent of the heart, and in the reverberations of the audible words of deception. The anger against God manifested itself by the grievous abomination of the shedding of innocent blood as it is written in Genesis 4:8, And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
The decades of the Twentieth Century should have taught humanity how it is the world could spin out of control and be led into two World Wars, when a tyrannical ruler seizes power. But the current woes of society sorry to say will lead to an antichrist, “The Global Leader”, the Bible speaks of as “That Man of Sin.”
The damsel Lily is only one of many faithful believers living through spiritual and emotional upheaval of the “Last Days”as it is written in Matthew 24:21, For than shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Compounded by the political injustices of the day, with the long arm of the law ramping up a complete surveillance society, to Lily’s own peril she manages to keep the faith as it is written in Hebrews 10:23, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised:)
The Nightmare Reality of Being a Christian In The End Days
The profession of faith in a world where at the present time there are many antichrists as it is written in 1st John 2:18, Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
The worlds plunges into the apostasy of “That Man of Sin”, and rebellion against God. The faithful believer in the Bible shall find refuge beneath the “Shadow of Thy Wings”, as it is written in Psalms 57:1, Be merciful unto me: O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
The peer pressure to assimilate into a New Antichrist Social Order shall be severe, and even family members, shall betray one another as it is written in Mark 13:12, Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
A rise of an Antichrist World False Religion will take place in the “End times” as it is written in Daniel 11:38, But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
The True Essence of Faith Shines Brightest in Challenging Times
The light of the true believer shines brightest when shattering the deception and distortions of an ancient foe , “That Old Serpent” as it is written in Matthew 5:16, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. We also read of the blessings in times of trouble as it is written in Matthew 5:10-12, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
The Lord is ever ready to extend his hand in love as it is written in Isaiah 1:18, Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as while as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The believer is near to the Father as their very own heart as it is written in 2nd Corinthians 3:3, Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.
The pilgrimage of the Christian living in the “Last Days” shall have to navigate with much prayer in a world ruled supreme with deception and lies as it is written in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, 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.
In the final analysis glorious victory is certain as it is written in Revelation 21:3-5, And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there any more pain: for the former things are past away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Amen!
