Offenses must come

There is no rapture until the coming of the Son of man. Those who haven’t fallen back into perdition - as so many departing from the faith, going after strange flesh, making provision to fulfill the lusts thereof - as Esau seeking a place for repentance with strong crying and tears, nevertheless, God forsook him, having loved the things of the world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. And when temptations, trials and persecution came in like a flood, he became offended at the hard sayings of Christ, and followed him no more.

E K K L E S I A - Apostolic 494

When Jesus returns, will there be any faith?

If the righteous scarcely be saved, where will the sinner appear? In the churches. Not one is clean - all have come short of holiness because of sin. Who is Jesus the savior of the world? Is the grace of God of none effect? It is sufficient, Jesus said. Let Everyman be a liar and Gods word be true. Be holy, even as your Father in heaven is holy. If any man follow Christ, let him deny fleshly lusts and take up his cross. We were thieves cursed on the cross until Jesus was crucified and his blood cleansed us from all unrighteousness. Risen together with Christ, we are more than conquerors and sin no longer has dominion over us. We are new creatures. Old things - sin things - have passed away, and behold, all things have become new. What? Know you not that the spirit of Christ dwells in you unless you are a reprobate? Who told you that you were saved? And your sin remains? What doctrine is this that the Blood is tread on by unwashed feet? 

The Spirit says expressly that many have departed from the faith. They say they know God, but walk in sensuality. Love not the world nor the things of the world. The lust of the eyes and the lusts of the flesh are earthy and devilish. Out of the heart of a man proceeds uncleanness, hatred, sorcery, murder, unbelief, lying, malice, adultery and fornication. 

The Lord God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon their children and their children’s children, unto the third and fourth adulterous generation. No sign shall be given from heaven except plagues, famines and destruction. A famine for hearing the word of the Lord has made the way for COVID-19. 

Build your barns and covet more gold. Reap your lusts sown in darkness. The light shall reveal secret sins. The spirit of burning and the spirit of judgement has come. Two fold more than any time past. Full grown transgressors now must drink from the dregs of the cup of wrath. “We will not be moved.” Nay, all flesh shall be consumed at the brightness of his coming with ten thousands thousands watchers to execute vengeance upon the ungodly and their ungodly deeds.
