Before the celestial “shock and awe” judgments of the Tribulation are unleashed, God’s Word describes a time characterized by false teaching and teachers so strong that it would even sweep away even true believers (Mark 13:22) if they were not sealed by the Spirit of God.
In Matthew 24, Jesus describes the world before He returns in His second coming as a world where the love of most has grown cold because of false teachers (Matthew 24:11-12); and where “the Faith” will be nearly extinct (Luke 18:8).
The end of the church age is shown in Revelation 3 to be like the church at Laodicea, where truth is light, self-centeredness is heavy, materialism and personal agendas run deep, and true Biblical spirituality is shallow.
Paul foretold that the days would be a time of great “falling away,” and Peter, Jude, and John all described this final time, pervasive false doctrine across the world. Open to the tiny letter of Christ’s other earthly brother, named Jude, and look at verse 3.
Today, we see such a sweeping array of deceptive false teachers as just the foretaste of this birth pang, which Jesus warned about and described, forming before our very eyes.
Never before have wrong teaching and beliefs about God been more widely proclaimed than in our day. A continuous, 24/7 river of erroneous teaching about God flows around the world: on radio, TV, cable, webcasts, podcasts, simulcasts, books, magazines, and everywhere in between—our world is increasingly filled with lies about God.
