The End Times and Rising Apostasy
This is from Crossroad website:
a " falling away" from God's unchanging truths
"...in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons...." 1 Timothy 4:1
"...because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved." Matthew 24:12-13
"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2: 9-12
"...when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:21
"For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Matthew 24:25
"As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ." Colossians 2:6-8
"...do not be conformed to this world...." Romans 12:2
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things..." 2 Timothy 4:2-5
"...they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. " Matthew 24:9-11
"...know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
"...Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned...." 2 Corinthians 3:1-5, 12-14
"I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ." Galatians 1:6-7
Jesus said to them: "Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many." Matthew 24:4-5
"...concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition." 2 Thessalonians 2: 1-3
"Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called 'Today,' lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 'For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end...." Hebrews 4:12-14
"Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
“...the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. " John 16:2
"You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times." Matthew 16:3
"For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them..." 1 Thessalonians 5:3
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23

Yes and Amen. And O the Scriptural gymnastics that some will attempt to dismiss the fact that the coming of our Lord approaches. The fig tree has sprouted and "now is our salvation nearer than when we bellieved".
And with Israel in place, can you not feel the warmth of a few rays of Morning Star light ever so gently announcing the preparation of the coming King? If you listen closely to the pages of Scripture can you not hear the snorting of the heavenly horses as they hoof the ground? And can your ears not perceive the waves of folding wings as the angelic hosts anticipate the Risen Christ rising from His throne in all His unspeakable glory? Just the mere thought should bring the shudder of worship mingled with fear and praise.
Behold He Comes!
Rick,
