The pattern that leads to judgment: Romans 1:21-32. This has to be the most graphic language of the Bible; from believers to reprobates in eleven short verses. The story is of the destruction of a civilization, and is the pattern for the decay of every civilization that follows. God reaches back to the Antediluvian world and reveals the decay of the first civilization, a civilization perhaps as advanced as our own. “As the days of Noah were, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of man” (Matthew 24:37).

The Antediluvians were a spiritual people in the wrong direction; this is always the condition of an end-time. The pattern moves on—from the unclean spirit to perversion; first the mind, then the physical. This age will end in the same way Noah‟s age ended. The same downward path will be evident in our time. We are not the children of darkness; we are the children of light.  We cannot know the day or the hour of the Coming of Christ, but we can know the season of His Coming by watching our society move down the same path as the Antediluvians. When the downward trend of the Antediluvians reached the point of not wanting to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind. A reprobate mind is a mind that calls evil good and good evil. There is no doubt but what we are in the third and final give-up of God, Judgment follows.

The Day of the Beast is upon us. If you are not a part of the Raptured Church, you will wake up one morning in a demon-possessed world. For a World Church to emerge, all that had to be changed.  The Word of God had to be set aside as the iron clad rule of faith. To bring about this change, old and stated truths were openly questioned by those in authority. There can be no Antichrist without the False Prophet; likewise there can be no world government without a World Church. The world stands on the threshold of “The Day of the Beast.” The one thing that had to take place before the day ofthe Beast could come was the mind of the people had to be conditioned for a one-world government. The Day of the Beast will be short-lived. In one hour God will bring the system to naught. Centuries of scheming, killing, and plundering will be exposed and destroyed in one hour, after which Christ and His Church shall rule the earth for 1000 years.

Once more in the end of this age, the prevailing issue is “God or Baal.” Running parallel through history like two great rivers is the true and the false church. The true Church is known throughout the Bible as “the Bride,” the false is known as a harlot. The failure to distinguish the difference has led men to slavery in every generation. Consequently, every test and trial God has allowed His people to pass through has been to distinguish between the real and the counterfeit.  The false will always follow the false
