As 2025 comes to a close we continue seeing fulfillment of prophetic end-time Scriptures, the soon-coming seven-year tribulation and return of Jesus Christ. And do not forget that Jesus said “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matt. 24:13). It’s vital to believe that, because if we do it will motivate us to study what Jesus said about the end-time and prepare to endure to the end. If we don’t believe it, the natural response is to do nothing, nor prepare to endure to the end which then makes applicable the truth of the wise and foolish virgins of Matt. 25:1–13.
Think of the vast number of believers who have their faith and hope set on the false, deceptive pre-tribulation rapture because they’ve been led by pastors and teachers who have themselves been taught to ignore the end-time teachings of Christ, to believe instead the epiphany of John Nelson Darby (1800–1882) who, in 1830, gave Christianity the falsehood of Dispensationalism. It’s utter deception that any believer would allow themselves to be led away from the word and testimony of the Son of God in exchange for the testimony and dream of a man who contradicts the testimony of God. The problem is, however, that many professing believers don’t study for themselves the truth of God’s word, preferring instead to be told what to believe by those who they perceive as being qualified to tell them what to believe; one deception leading to another.
The phenomenon that most people simply believe what they’re told to believe by perceived authority figures is ancient but continues today. This failure was proven true as recently as the alleged 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, or more accurately, the Covid-19 scamdemic. Few were the doctors who realized the dangers of mRNA shots which are now killing many otherwise young healthy people. But most people chose to believe the popularized propaganda of Anthony Fauci and his cohort of doctors and fawning liberal media who rejected even hearing any opposition.
Similarly, the vast majority of Christian believers believe the testimony of men perceived to be authority figures of the Bible instead of studying the clear texts of Scripture for themselves. It’s indicative of the human condition wanting to take the road of least resistance, the easy way, the ear-tickling journey, the broad path and wide gate of Jesus Christ’s warning at Matt. 7:13–14.
The truth of people believing what they’re told to believe has plagued our religious, educational and academic centers for many decades. Socialist-minded professors and Zionist ministers have indoctrinated by propaganda destructive values and false Christianity. It’s destroying the truths, freedoms, capitalism and conservative values upon which America was built, and worse, Zionist ministers are destroying many truths the Lord Jesus Christ gave us. Instead of calling out Israel’s unbelief and continued rebellion against Christ, they heretically applaud unbelieving Israel.
This past year has had numerous spiritual pitfalls, and the coming year(s) will prove to be even worse because deceptions rule the end-times as false teachings proliferate Western Christianity. A few preach the whole truth which is good but rare. Many ministers, however, in their attempt to accommodate the culture preach as though God has changed and doesn’t mean what He once did, even accepting unbelief of Jesus Christ and that there are other ways to God and His Christ in heaven. My prayer is that TheFridayLetter.com has revealed truths of God’s Kingdom to you.
