Wake Up or Die

–

Sin does not wake up the church, so persecution will have to ….

First there was the removal of the Bible from public schools; then there was the legalization of abortion.

And just last month the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in support of same-sex marriage.

–

Still Christians are mostly asleep.

–

So for thousands of years, people wondered about the power and reason for the Antichrist.

Why does God allow this?

Is it just to punish the unbelieving wicked?

–

Who are the “wicked?”

Just the ignorant people who never knew God?

How about the evil ones who call themselves by God’s name, but deny him in practice?

–

–

My answer is that the Antichrist is the judgment of YHVH God on those who claim they are His, but shame His name and Savior.

They care only about themselves, and their own comforts.

They turn their back on those who are persecuted, and need help.

While others cry in pain, they lay up treasures (“blessings”) for themselves.

–

–

Their sinful ways make a mockery of the cross and cheapen its message.

They support criminal and brutal leaders who bring harm on others, and destroy nations.

They lie, they cheat, they deceive, they betray. They rebel.

They condemn and destroy.

They ride the Beast, and they Beast will destroy them.

–

–

Or they do nothing as others suffer.

They don’t care!

They fulfill their lusts, and say God loves them the way they are.

Sexual perversion is OK.

–

–

They bring shame to the truth of Jesus.

They bring persecution to true believers because of their terrible scandalous ways, publicized all over the media.

Unbelievers think the true believers are just like the false ones, so they hate them all.

–

–

It is not just Satan that gives power to the Beast, but the false selfish Christians who empower Satan.

They contribute to Satan’s power.

–

They have not repented.

They are not sorry.

They think they are holier than others, and will escape.

–

–

But they will not escape.

They will be the first to die, but only after capture, imprisonment and torture for years.

Message:

For 90 – 95% of those people who want to know who the Antichrist is……..

Look in the mirror.

–

You crucified your Savior 2000 years ago with your sins, and you are crucifying Him again.

–

You, who are hypocrites, who say you are good, but do evil:

–

Repent!
