“ Deception ”
I think the word you mention here: "deception", is very important to keep in mind when thinking about the end times.
Any enemy of God is capable of mis-using prophecy to scatter the flock. I do not think the church is very aware of how vulnerable it is in this regard.
When the end times are talked about, it comes with a warning against deception. His sheep know His voice, but we know the wolf comes disguised. Lets not be naive in thinking the wolf will be immediately obvious, even to the believer.
One of my big concerns at the moment is how the end times are sensationalized. Where we don't understand something, our imagination will fill in the gaps. While our ideas are still forming, others ideas can be sown that we take on board as truth.
This is why watching is an important part of our spiritual mandate.
I like to think of it this way, the enemy of God has been convincing man to war with himself since the garden. If there are false messiahs, there is false prophecy. The disciples were fishers of men, but the enemy is a sea monster who chases the shoal away from the dragnet.
I think it's quite likely that we will find ourselves in a state of shock when we get to the "end-times" we thought we knew, and find out that our interpretations were very much propaganda |

“ Great Sermon! ”
Good to run across these sermons by Pastor Chuck as I was baptised by him at First Baptist Church of Downingtown in 1986. A lot of well thought out points to consider as I am of the dispensational premillennial persuation. Once again, it was a blessing to hear Pastor Chuck again after all of these years. |
