That Day!

The song writer wrote, "He's coming soon, he's coming soon, with joy we welcome his returning. It may be morn it may be night or noon we know he's coming soon." Scripture says in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition." In the last days there will be a great apostasy or falling away. The church as we have known it will soon not be the same. There will emerge an apostate church where Christ and the subject of sin will not be spoken of. Then that Wicked shall be revealed whom the Lord will consume, the one whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. This is also found in the same chapter mentioned above. Watch and pray that that day will not overtake us unaware. Is there sin in our lives? If so, we need to repent.
