End Time Conflict Over Jesus

A. In the End-Times there will be a battle for the truth about Jesus. Some believers will give heed to doctrines that lie about Jesus. The conflict will center on defining who Jesus is and how we love Him. We must love God on His terms. It is expressed with allegiance to the Jesus of the Bible.

B. Allegiance to Jesus is our main issue along with being lovers of His truth (2 Thes. 2:10). Tolerance is the main issue in the counterfeit forerunner movements to the Harlot Babylon. We greatly value the people in different religions. They possess great dignity before God. We are not willing to let them perish in hell by refusing to tell them the truth about Jesus and His salvation.

C. Three truths about Jesus that offend humanists include; first, His deity and thus His right to establish absolute standards for which the nations are accountable to Him. Jesus does NOT accept humanistic views of righteousness and love. Second, the only way of salvation is through Jesus. Third, He possesses the wisdom and love to judge sin for all time and eternity.

D. Anyone who confesses the name of Jesus must stand for His deity and for His way of salvation. If they do not, then they are operating under the spirit of a false prophet. This is true of famous people who work in the White House, host talk shows, fill stadiums with concerts for the poor or lead mega-churches. We must apologize to Jesus for so much man-pleasing preaching with lies.

E. There are counterfeit forerunners who are preparing the nations to embrace the Harlot Babylon. These false forerunners tell lies about Jesus. Some are not yet false prophets but they operate in the same spirit as one. Some of them are still in the balance. The issue is not about being positive or negative but it is about being faithful witnesses to the truth. We are not running for office; however we are His messengers who will give an account at the Judgment Seat of Christ.

F. The End-Time Praying Church is to steward the greatest hope and justice movement in history. We have a far superior hope than any humanistic movements. Forerunners are the greatest hopebringers in history. They will be filled with love (purity and humility), do deeds of compassion while giving a clear witness of the truth. They will magnify Jesus’ love, wisdom and tenderness.

G. We are called to judge people to win them to righteousness so they may be saved. If one confesses to being a follower of Jesus, then one is accountable to the standards of God’s Word.

1 It is reported that there is sexual immorality among you…3 I have already judged him who has so done this deed…5 Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus…11 I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person. (1 Cor. 5:1-11)

H. We are to only to judge in the way we want to be judged (accurately, patiently, tenderly).

1 Judge not (with false measures), that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. (Mt. 7:1-2)
