Take Heed That No Man Deceive You!
2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Matthew 24:2-16 KJV
Don’t Be Deceived!
About the above passage, please notice that the most important thing Jesus said about the “end times” is that we must be careful not to be deceived! You cannot be saved unless you know the Bible and cultivate a personal relationship with God. You cannot rely on your church pastor to tell you the truth! You need to know the truth for yourself! And what you believe needs to have a substantial foundation on what the Bible says!
The Abomination Of Desolation
First warning! The “abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet,” is NOT any object in the “Middle East.” It is a law (first passed in the USA) that will help to demonstrate who is a faithful servant of God and who is willing to betray God by following that law! You will only discover this truth by carefully studying the Bible for yourself! This is one of those “hidden gems” of truth found only by those who carefully study the Bible!
"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake". Matthew 24:9 KJV
Persecution Is Coming To The USA!
Yes, this will soon happen in the USA, and the USA will be the “worst offender” in trampling the freedoms of their own people! Religious freedom will soon disappear from America! And this will NOT be because of the Democratic Party and its members, but from the actions of conservative Republicans after the “pendulum has finished swinging to the conservative side”! If that sounds crazy to you, I recommend that you read the book, “The Great Controversy Between Christ And Satan”, aka “The Great Controversy”, by Ellen White. This most definitely will come to pass!
The Great Controversy (1888 edition)
“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Endures what? Deception of all kinds and persecution! Without losing faith in God and His Word!
