We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.

The cultists, including the Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and others, go out and are incredibly bold while deceiving and being deceived into the lies that will ultimately lead people to an eternity in hell. We have the truth, and that should give us a biblical sense of urgency to reach out to people that Jesus loves.

People leave, encouraged, entertained, unchanged, and unwarned about hell and eternity. We send attendees out to spread the good news about our church, not Jesus. This is happening in tens of thousands of churches across America, and collectively, we call it success.

How do these recent developments tie together and how might they fit into the end time scenario? No one can be certain, but I have noticed that this is the first time in history when the events written in Ezekiel 38 could possibly take place.

We want to focus on here is the elephant in the middle of the evangelical livingroom. The elephant in the room is the continued ignoring of sound end time Bible prophecy teaching.
