The apostate churches of the end time

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

Who is antichrist?  Is antichrist one man as churches have taught for centuries?  Does antichrist come through governments of men?

 

The New Testament Bible answers each of these questions.

 

The apostle John spoke of antichrist and explained the following to the church of his time.

 

I John 2:18-19  John said:  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.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

 

The apostle John has just explained that the last days began immediately after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.  The antichrists were many in the churches.  

 

When they could not take over the churches, they departed, showing themselves to be antichrist. 

 

Many antichrists set up their own church denominations, departing from many scriptures.

 

The apostle Paul told the elders of the church at Ephesus the following:

 

Acts 20:29-30   For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

 

Though there were already antichrists in the early church, Paul told them things would get worse before Jesus returned.

 

2 Tim. 3:1  This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ... 13  But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

 

2 Thess. 2:3-4  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;  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

 

Paul shows us that antichrist comes through the churches as they fall away from scripture and set up other doctrines which are contrary to the doctrines of Christ which are shown us in the Holy Bible.

 

In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away are not people leaving the church groups.  The falling away are the church groups leaving the scriptures"

 

This "falling away" by church groups from scriptures has gotten worse and worse through the centuries.

 

The churches today sing songs, and say "Jesus is Lord", and omit portions of NT scripture, and explain away portions of scripture.

 

This is the apostasy, antichrist in the churches in the various denominations of today.

 

This apostasy in the churches had to happen before Jesus could return for the elect of God to take them off this present earth before God destroys this heaven and earth.

 

2 Timothy 4:2-4  Paul speaking to Timothy:  Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

3 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;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

 

The apostasy has already happened in the churches all over this world.  Portions of scripture are removed from their doctrines.
