We may distinguish between the latter days and the end times by understanding the latter days have been ongoing since Jesus was rejected by Jewish leadership. The church Jesus promised to build came into being.

In the end times a great falling away it is taught will happen.  With affection for Christ diminishing, professing to be a Christian will become dangerous.

“Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing. ” (Martin Luther: A Mighty Fortress is Our God)

Coming, and here upon us in its beginning, is a “great falling away.”( 2 Thessalonians 2) 

We face a scary future. Rugged personal independence in the land of the free has been voted in need of much more supervision, along with need for government controlled education.

Our American culture is being taught that man is basically good, but that successful men must be held accountable, watched, forced to “give back.” How, for instance, has it happened that a university president has a salary of over million dollars a year while, at the same time, delinquent student loans near the trillion dollar level?

How also has it happened that among almost all personal debt, that owning the government has become a tort, that is, a non-forgivable debt?

The answer is that government has so arranged these facts: God had warned Israel that they would not like what human government would bring about. Inequity knows no greater place than in government; yet, inequity of other than itself is the banner for change and has been in every modern government which has failed.

Government has been vastly expanded; Hell has on earth known no greater opportunity: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

“Power tends to corrupt, absolute power corrupts absolutely. . . ” (Lord Acton, 1887)

Within the population of wealthy businessmen, the middle class, the poor, every ethnic group, every race or gender are those who are honorable and caring.  Also, there are those who would steal a widow’s small portion.

Upon which government do we cling? Have I cast in my lot with the One who has the real government upon His shoulders?  (Isaiah 9:6).

I will trust Him who took my back some time ago, to keep me––“The Lord is my Shepherd.”

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  (Joshua 24:15)  We must abide in Him.

We hear so much in hymn and Psalm about the “Rock of our salvation.” Leaning, and clinging to Christ is not weakness; it is determination.

Do we place the confidence needed for days to come, on Him and Him alone?  How?

We have been taught in scripture that Jesus broke the mold so – to –speak.  He invited me into His Father’s presence – the holiest of holies.  Me, right now; as I am, not perfected me?  Yes. He did not teach, as religion does, that I must clean myself up. He taught that I can’t clean myself well enough.

He said by opening my heart to Him, I become His workmanship. Now, He is my Savior, Potter, I am His clay, and I am invited to come boldly into His presence.

What about my sin?  Friend, he guaranteed that if you will “abide in Him,” He will make sin to be very distasteful.” The Holy Spirit came. He convicts “Of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8), and to “As many as received Him, to them gave He the power to become the children of God.” (John 1:12)

Is it me, one of those who of whom it is written, in this great falling away of the church in the end time. (Matthew 26:22)  

“In times like these, you need a Savior In times like these you need an anchor Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock” (Ruth Caye Jones)

“Have you (continuously) been to Jesus, to the cleansing power?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed in the blood?

In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?

Do you rest each moment in the crucified?

Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?”

Elisha A. Hoffman (words and music)

Amazing love that invites me to come into His presence, does not judge, but rather cleanses with His blood. He gave me life, my family and wife.  He dries my tears, gives me hope as I press on.

I’ll soon be home, but first please Lord, make me a vessel of Thy word.  You Lord–– Amazing LOVE!
