The Tribulation is Upon Us, Church - Heed the Prophetic Warnings

I'll be blunt, church - we're in trouble. The signs are all around us, plain as day, if you have eyes to see. The tribulation is upon us, and the end times are rapidly approaching.

As a pastor, it pains me to say this. I've spent my life shepherding my flock, teaching the Word, and preparing God's people for the return of Christ. But the reality we face is stark. The prophecies in Daniel, Isaiah, and Revelation are unfolding in real-time.

The Apostle Paul warned us that in the last days, "people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God." (2 Timothy 3:2-4)

Open your eyes, church! Look around. That prophecy reads like a nightly news report. Depravity and wickedness are on full display. Morality is crumbling. The world has turned its back on God.

The Deception

And the deception - oh, the deception! "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." (Matthew 24:24) Lies and propaganda flood our screens 24/7. The truth is buried under a mountain of half-truths and outright fabrications.

Just look at the Epstein scandal. The depths of that rabbit hole are staggering. Powerful people, even within the church, implicated in the most vile acts imaginable. And the coverup continues, shielding the guilty from justice.

The Apostasy

The apostasy is also rampant. "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." (2 Timothy 4:3)

Entire denominations have abandoned the authority of Scripture, twisting the Word to fit their agenda. They preach a false gospel of social justice and feel-good platitudes, void of the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

Wake Up, Church!

Church, we must wake up and heed the prophetic warnings. The tribulation is on our doorstep. The return of Christ is imminent. We must repent, return to our first love, and prepare our hearts for the days ahead.

The time is short. Maranatha - Come, Lord Jesus!
