Questions About the End Times

Sunday, January 13, 2012

Led by Eric Gintert

Question #1

Can prayer change or delay the outcome of the events foretold in the book of Revelation?

Answer

Matthew 24:3, 22
God will shorten the days for the sake of the elect, His people.

2 Peter 3:1-13
God doesn't take pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11). The end will come as a thief in the night, when you least expect it.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

We can't change it, but we can prepare ourselves for it. He will not delay it, but will come in His good and acceptable timing.

Question #2

If God says that we shouldn't add to or take away from His word (Deut 4:2 & Rev 22:18-19), why are pastors and churches marrying homosexual couples?

Answer

2 Kings 22-23

In this example, the Word of God was left hidden and dusty in the "church" building. The very place where it should have been studied and practices was where it was lost.

The bottom line is, churches are not repenting, and doing what they ought to be doing. They cover up the sin with "God is Love" but they do not understand what love is!

Luke 17:20-30
Jesus is suffering and being rejected of this generation.
Jesus prophesied that sexual immorality would be prevalent in the end as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah.

2 Timothy 4:1-4
In the end times, there are those who will not endure sound doctrine but will error because of their own lusts.

2 Timothy 3:1-5, 13
In the end times there will be wickedness abound: unholy, without natural affection, etc.
They have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. They are deceiving and being deceived!

Revelation 13:7
The saints are being overcome by the devil, they are giving up!

Daniel 7:25
Satan will speak great words against God (blaspheme) and wear out the saints, changing times and laws.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
In the end times, there will first come a falling away. This falling away could very well be the saints who have been overcome or worn out by the devil.

Read the book of Jude to read more about the end times and how we must prepare for His return.
