is everything getting worse?
Let's take a look at something Jesus says in Matthew 24: 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them,
Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8
All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
So we in these times brothers and sisters, and it's only going to get worse. More have to happen according to prophesy, but pay attention to the first thing Jesus says
Take heed that no man deceive you. Jesus says in (Matt. 7:21-23) (v.21)
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven.
You mean you must do more than call on the name of the Lord to enter into the kingdom of heaven? (Which will be set up on this earth)?
(v.22)
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? (v.23)
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Now this is not the harlot, the thief, or the murder, these are religious people; some had the power to cast out devils. And what did they put before the Lord? Their works! It’s obvious that their iniquity overrode their wonderful works. But they put their works on the table before the Lord, that’s what you are going to be judged by, your works!
Let’s go to Proverbs 16: 2 All the ways of a man
are clean in his own eyes; But the LORD weigheth the spirits. 3
Commit thy works unto the LORD, And
thy thoughts shall be established. 5 Every one
that is proud in heart
is an abomination to the LORD:
Though hand
join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: And
by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
Let’s go into Ecclesiastes 12: 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Fear God, and keep his commandments: for t
his is the whole duty of man. 14 For
God shall bring every work into judgment, with
every secret thing,
whether it be good, or
whether it be evil.
Stay strong in the faith brother and sisters!
