It is very sad that there is such a proliferation of theories and ideas
about what will happen in the last days. This is actually a strong indication
of who it is that causes these disagreement and arguments: the author of lies,
the great deceiver must be behind most, if not all of it.
Jesus warned us to be not deceived; Matthew
24:4, so we know it can happen! Has
any of us never been fooled? We are all suckers for a good deal or investment,
but if it is too good to be true; then it probably isn’t true!
The idea of a rapture removal to heaven before disaster strikes, is a prime
example and when this and other things like prosperity theology are preached
and taught by people of high standing, it’s no wonder that many are led to
believe those teachings. People fail to check their Bibles for proof that what
they have been told, is really what the Lord has planned.
What we Christians are plainly told, is that we can expect trials and
testing, 1 Peter 3:12, and we must
endure and stand strong in our faith. Revelation 13:9-10
HOWEVER, if good Christian people have believed a wrong teaching about what the
Lord will do for them, this is not a salvation issue. PROVIDED; they do not
lose their faith that He will save them.
This is where, unfortunately, so many will fall away when the test comes. What
they expected won’t happen and they will renounce God, to their eternal loss.
