Matthew 24:
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
With regard to this passage, I asked the Holy Spirit what would cause agapao
to go cold and lead many down a path of deception and lawlessness. His answer:
"They will turn the 'blessed hope' into a false hope". This expression is found here:
Titus 2:
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ;
14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
We see the blessed hope to be our gathering unto the Lord at His appearing with the Father.
When does redemption take place?
Luke 21:
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things
which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads,
because your redemption draws near.”
This issue must be understood as paramount, for it soils the life of a Saint.
1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.
I have heard that the rapture is not a Salvation issue. Apparently, neither are these four
central issues, when you isolate Salvation, pull a couple of scriptures and spin a doctrine
in which none of these four are expected of a Saint. At the judgment, the value of wisdom
from above, deeds of righteousness, the purification of the heart by sanctification and the
value of a redeemed body will become highly evident as a "Salvation Issue".
Romans 8:
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption,
the redemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope;
for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.
10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.
11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
