A departure from doctrinal and moral truth. Signs of the End: The Regathering of the Jewish People Widespread Hostility Toward the Jewish People Means for Global Rule Surging Apostasy The Stool of Surging Apostasy Rests on 3 Legs: FIRST: 1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NIV2011) 1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. Pervasive Spiritual Deception Example: WHO makes a claim Example: HOW a claim is made Truthfulness is measured by God’s Word “…your word is truth.” (John 17:17) SECOND: 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NIV2011) 3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. Extensive Biblical Illiteracy Example: Counterfeit money Example: 2022 Cultural Research Center at Arizona State University Application: FRC’s Bible Education Expansion THIRD: 2 Peter 2:1-2 (NIV2011) 1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. Another translation: 2 Peter 2:2 (KJV) …the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. Capacity for Moral Revolution Moral Revolution (Theo Hobson) 1.
