There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories.

‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Ancient passages sometimes read like current events. 

As history unfolds before us prophetically, the villian’s end game is revealed.

I’m all too often surprised when people refuse to see the revelation of events foretold so long ago and still choose ignorance over acknowledgement. 

Schooled to believe that having faith in God is a weakness instead of the means to life everlasting, they buy the lie and deny the power of our Creator to rescue them from the very veil that blinds them and those who would mislead them.

Christianity is increasingly becoming little more than a conspiracy theory to those who are being lost. 

It’s in these moments that we need to desperately pursue those around us who have been misled and penned in as sheep for slaughter. 

Don’t give up. Earnestly present your case and reason for the hope that once rescued you from the same destiny. 

Knowing how it might end for some must be the beginning of your prayer for those who may still follow Christ and live.
