According to this article, the Pope has appointed an “outspoken proponent of homosexuality” as a “consultor for the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.”
Have you ever seen things move so quickly?
Even ten years ago, would you have ever guessed that so many countries would fall to the so-called “gay agenda”? Would you have guessed that so many Christian denominations would fall away from God’s Word in deference to the homosexual agenda, as well?
Even the vast majority of states in the United States now allow it. And later this summer, the Supreme Court will most likely rule that same-sex marriage is a federal “Constitutional right” as well.
Our heavenly Father is giving us a stark preview of what Satan’s flood of lies is going to be like when he arrives to this old earth in his role as the counterfeit messiah. And why? Because when that old deceiver and defiler arrives, “he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev. 12:12), and thus he will act with great speed and alacrity in accomplishing his goals.
But even now, as the Scripture tells us, “the mystery of iniquity doth already work.” And it is working overtime at this point, which leads me to believe the war in heaven is spilling over onto this earth, and the time is drawing near for the arrival of our old adversary. No, not “any minute now,” for there are still a few things that must be accomplished, particularly in the Middle East, before that hour can come.
But watch current events, and learn from them. You’re witnessing a microcosm of how things are going to be when that old adversary of ours gets here.
So be sure to stand firm in your Father’s Word. This is your “practice run,” so to speak. Don’t allow yourself to get swept up into the celebratory joy of the masses as Satan tightens his grip around the world through his spirit of perversion and deception. You will not be liked much for staying on the straight and narrow path. But that is the only path that leads to eternal life in the family household of God.
Mat 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
