Hi CDBJ, I think we are. I think that as the Christian church, we have become so diluted by nominal Christians, who do not truly have a living faith (See James 2), that God is calling us to be holy, and be separate. Rev 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: Jesus says to the Church that is expecting His soon return, "Hold on, so no one takes your crown," and "to him who overcomes. . ." This can't be that we're just cruising along - there will be resistance. Jesus also said that because lawlessness increases the love of many will grow cold. As we see the increase of lawlessness, do we become jaded? Consider what is happening in New Orleans right now, as armed gangs are roaming, and anarchy abounds? What should be our response? How do we pass this test? You know, the word in 2 Tim 3:1 translated perilous is used only one other time in the New Testament, of the demoniac living in the tombs. Perilous times like the wild, dangerous demon-possessed man, that no one could even go that way. How do we maintain our walk in faith? Love in Christ, mark |

Greetings Mark, It’s interesting that you use the verse in Revelation, Rev. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. It appears as though the church, the body of Christ, is becoming complacent, seeing it has been close to two thousand years since these words were spoken, and yet the Lord hasn’t returned as yet. Could it be that these words, I come quickly, weren’t meant to represent an epic that will take place in the very near future? Could the words, I come quickly actually represent the speed at which it will occur, once it starts to happen? Time has proven that this must be the case. Example: 1 Cor. 15:51-52 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, [52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. I come quickly and in the twinkling of an eye, could both represent the same thing, that’s pretty fast by my chronographic view! CDBJ |
