In these last days of perilous times men are proud and boastful. Women are haughty and vain. The LORD knows them that are his and those who say they know God but walk in darkness. They hate the light of His countenance that shines in His word, the holy Bible. Every scripture is given by God through his Spirit to his servants, the holy prophets, who spoke and wrote the word of God as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But woe to those who hold the word of God in unrighteousness! Who disallow the children to come to Jesus and pervert the right ways of the Lord God! It would have been better that a millstone be put around their necks and they be cast into the sea and drowned instead of offending the little ones to come to Jesus and be taught in the holy scriptures so that when they grow older they should not depart from the truth. Now the Spirit says expressly that in these last days, some shall depart from the faith once delivered to the saints. As they no longer can endure the preaching of the cross and Christ crucified because they have gone a whoring after the things of the world, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, refusing correction and despising the chastening of the Lord as Esau who sold his birthright for a morsel of flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. These be they who separate themselves from the little flock to whom the kingdom of heaven is given because their robes have been made white by the Blood of Christ and not spotted by the flesh as those in condemnation and in danger of hell fire.
