The Apostate Church

God warns his people In Revelation about the Great Prostitute or the apostate church (Revelation 17-18).

The great prostitute in Revelation is a world wide false or apostate church. A church claiming to follow Jesus, and knowing the way of the truth, but which has turned to follow false gods and false religion. The apostate church is very appealing to worldy Christians who have recreated God in their own image. It is powerful and wealthy, but cruel and ruthless, and as the end of the age unfolds it will use its power to persecute the true believers. It is a church of miracles, and signs and wonders. It is a church which appears to receive Gods blessing, with huge numbers of followers. It is a church which has huge influence over the leaders of the world, and over world events.

This church will comprise all of the false tare churches that Satan has raised up through the centuries. Watch the parade of charismatic, pentecostal, fundamentalist, evangelical, dispensationalist, catholic, orhodox and other weird and wonderful churches and para church organisations that are forming into the false church via the ecumenical movement.

The apostate Church itself is founded on a mixture of false Pauline gospel (Was Paul A False Apostle), mithraism, and babylonian  hotchpotch.

Be warned.

Then I heard another voice calling from heaven, "Come away from her, my people. Do not take part in her sins, or you will be punished with her. For her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God is ready to judge her for her evil deeds. Revelation 18:4-5

Now is the time to leave the tare churches. The longer you stay the more painful it will be to leave: your friends and social life are built around the church. But if you stay God promises that you will be judged with her. God hates the apostate church. Satan has deceived the apostate church, but he hates her also. What are the chances of a good outcome?

The tare churches will become more and more open about their support for Christian unity at all costs. They will strive for 'unity" amhead of Biblical truth, until they eventually all join completely with the apostate church. The apostate church will ride the beast (Daniels Fourth World Empire the end  times fourth empire of the USA and the middle east). She will be a willing part of the persecution and murder of God's people. But then the beast will turn on her and destroy her completely, executing God's judgement.

Don't be part of this in any way. God's people get out of there now before it is too late.

The pews are warm, the folk are friendly, and the pastor is such a nice man. Our light system and sound desk are the latest and greatest. Our 'worship' team and the services are just amazing. God has amazingly blessed our church with growth and prosperity. Why would I want to leave?

Why indeed? In obedience to God perhaps?
