“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.”
(2 Timothy 4:3-4)
According to the dictionary, a sign is “an event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else.” With that as a description, the world we live in today is full of spiritual signs, events whose presence indicates the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ.
To say that we live in exciting times may not adequately describe the days in which we live. When it comes to the spiritual signs on display all around us, some signs are positive while others are negative. So, to cite the age-old question: “Which do you want first — the good news or the bad news?” I think most people would pick to receive the bad news first thinking, “Let’s get the troublesome news out of the way so that we can enjoy the good news.”
Give It to Me Straight
As we inch closer and closer to the amazing return of our Lord and Savior, the bad news is that false messengers will try to deceive heaven-bound saints (Matthew 24:5). These false messengers’ lies, deceitful tactics, and words will increase, becoming harsher and yet more convincing. The fruit of these false prophets spreading their false gospel will be increasing heresy within the Church.
People who you might never imagine leaving the Church or falling prey to spiritual deceit will, in fact, do both. Eventually this wicked trend will further erode the size of the Church and lead to rising persecution of true followers of Christ.
