Scripture

Witnessing to All Nations

1. 1. …and many false prophets will arise and mislead many.
      ( Matthew 24:11 )
   2. Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold.
      ( Matthew 24:12 )
   3. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.…
      ( Matthew 24:13 )

Interpretation

1. Witnessing to all nations
   • Our Lord has sent out his disciples
   • They are doing the work of discipling
2. Matthew 24:11
   • False Prophets
     • Once the evil one sees the work our Lord’s disciples are doing
       • He sends out his minions as well
     • Here it says some of those sent out indeed have what appears to be a prophetic anointing
     • Meanwhile, the essence of their gift is to mislead many
3. Matthew 24:12 ( A )
   • Multiplication of Wickedness
     • These are not quiet times though Bro
     • They are rough times
   • They are known not for their silence
     • They are loud roughness
   • The turn to bad is not quite incremental
   • But, multiplied, exponential wickedness
4. Matthew 24:12 ( B )
   • Love of Many will grow cold
   • Cold Love
5. Matthew 24:13
   • Perseveres to the end
   • Will be saved

Lord Remains Faithful

Paul to Timothy
2nd Timothy 4:16-18
Link

At my first defense, no one stood with me, but everyone deserted me. May it not be charged against them.

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it.

So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

And the Lord will rescue me from every evil action and bring me safely into His heavenly kingdom.

To Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.…

 

Encouragement

Sometimes you will find yourself working hard.

Giving and not receiving so much.

Yet, do not be discouraged.

If you are actually in the good, in the right, there is one person that will not have you stand alone.

Your Heavenly Father.

Here Apostle Paul said the Lord stood and strengthened him.

God’s purpose stood and here over 2000 years later, the gentiles are benefitting.

Worshiping and Glowing in it.

Yes, there were evil actions.

But, on the side of the totality of each evil awaits Heaven.

Martyrdom has only one outcome, and that is Heaven.
