So has your preacher taught you how to STAND (against him, the antichrist) or how to FLY (to him)?
Some may think that we are being hard on preachers and ministers. The fact is that our Father is extremely unhappy with those who are supposed to teach His Word to His children, instead of playing church, and He has declared that they are going to pay dearly for misleading and starving His people.
So how do you know if your minister falls into that category? The answer does not lie in whether or not he or she is a nice person or a sincere person! The answer lies in what he or she teaches. So ask yourself the question, "How much of God's Word has he or she taught me?" Has your teacher prepared you with the true knowledge from God's Word whereby you are able to withstand the spiritual battle of the last days? Or have you been taught not to worry because you won't be here?
If the latter is true then you better wake up because IT IS WRITTEN in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 that there will be NO gathering back to Christ until AFTER the false messiah, the son of perdition, the supernatural archangel Satan himself, makes a spectacular "return" as Jesus Christ with "all power and signs and lying wonders (2 Thes. 2:9)" and deceives the whole world into believing he is the Messiah (2 Thes. 2:4)!
So has your preacher taught you how to STAND (against him) or how to FLY (to him)? Let's take some time and read what the Lord has to say to the prophets of Israel, the preachers of America, by one who is "strengthened by God, His Word" (that is what EZEK-I-EL means):
Ezekiel, the type of God's "Watchman" in these last days, is commanded to teach against false preachers in the manner of "Thus saith the Lord God"!Ezekiel 13:1
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,[2] Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Do you remember the difference between "foolish" and "wise"? A foolish teacher (prophet) follows after the traditions of men, like "fly-away" theories which are built upon sand, and a foolish preacher does not teach the people directly from God's Word, chapter by chapter and line by line, whereby their flocks are stablished and well founded in Truth, upon the solid Rock! They do not teach our people how to study His Word and put on the Gospel Armor so that they will be able to STAND (not fly) during the tribulation of antichrist, which is a spiritual battle for the souls of men. Ephes. 6:11 "Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to STAND against the wiles of the devil."[3] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
The desert is this Valley of spiritually Dry Bones (Ezk. 37) caused by the famine in these last days, which any student of Amos knows is for the hearing of God's Word, not for food! Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD".[4] O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
[5] Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
