The Daily Word of Righteousness
Who Are the Two Witnesses?, #7
And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. (Revelation 11:10)
After the revival there will be an hour of temptation during which sin will become widespread. The "softness" of spirit caused by the multitude of believers will prove to be fertile ground for a deceived Christian to believe he can bring in the Kingdom of God by his own faith and determination.
By "softness of spirit" we are referring to the disarming effect that conversion has. Believers often are childish in their thinking. There is a difference between being childlike, which is essential for entrance into the Kingdom of God, and being "childish."
The sense of sins forgiven, the new atmosphere of love in which the believer finds himself, leads, without proper teaching, to foolishness and lawbreaking. The current interpretation of Paul's doctrine of grace is in error and is promoting a foolish attitude toward God and a false sense of assurance. It is as though Gentile believers are God's pets, the environment is friendly, and all of us are going to be carried off to mansions in never-never land. The fruit of the current doctrine of grace is people of weak character who easily are led into sin and the breaking of God's laws and man's laws.
One does not find many stern, cross-carrying disciples in our day—people who live in the fire of the God of Israel.
Sometimes the unconverted have a stronger sense of what is lawful and fitting than do the Christians. Multitudes of Christians obey neither Moses nor Christ. Because of the Christian misunderstanding of grace they are living in the gap of lawlessness.
The deceived Christian leader of the last days, the man of sin, soon will be possessed by a spirit from the bottomless pit and begin to proclaim he is God. The love of the majority will grow cold. The result of the rule of this deluded individual will be the great tribulation, as the Lord punishes the attempt of a man to masquerade as God.
Whoever will attempt to harm God's anointed witnesses during the period allotted for their testimony will forfeit his right to die of natural causes or accident. He must be slain by Divine judgment. The Word of God will kill him, as in the case of Ananias and Sapphira.
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. (Revelation 11:5)
To be continued.
