A Falling Away in the End Times

2021-11-29

In the future, there will be a falling away (2 Thessalonians 2:3). The word means “apostasy” and is translated in Acts 21:21 as “forsake.” Looking at our world, we could think we might be there now.

A scarier thing is that the Lord will give people what they want. People will reject Christ in large numbers, but then the Lord will give them over to a delusion: a false “Christ” that will rule over them:

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie (2 Thessalonians 2:9-11)

Decide today that Jesus Christ is the Savior. He did not withhold His life from us, dying for our sin and rising the third day. We do not know when this falling away will take place. You will not be immune to these events when they come.
