Exhort one another and even more as you see the day of the Lord approaching (Heb. 10:25)

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

Are we drawing nearer to the return of Jesus, "the day of the Lord"?

 

Do we see increased wickedness in this world today?  Do we see churches fall away from scripture and set up other doctrines which makes them "antichrist", the apostate church of the end times?

 

(Every church I've tried to attend since 1980, has omitted teachings on divorce & remarriage, and homosexual & lesbian, and antichrist in the end times.)

 

As we see an increased wickedness of this world and an increase in churches omitting scripture and setting up other doctrines in the churches, we see the day of the Lord approaching.

 

In the following scripture we read:

 

Hebrews 10:25  Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

 

So in the Bible, we are instructed to "exhort" one another even more as we see the day of the Lord approaching.

 

(Exhort means:  to urge earnestly by advice and warning)

 

It is not that we speak too much, as devils would tell us.  But rather we need to speak even more godly things to edify the church in the last days.

 

(Paul once spoke till midnight to that church group.  Acts 20:7)

 

So we speak and don't hold back!

 

2 Tim. 4:2-4  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
