Msg #2138 The Church, A Prophetic Train Wreck

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

In our Lord's prophetic history of the church there is first a phase where she detects false apostles, hates priestcraft-n-clergyism, but leaves her first love. A second, where she refuses incorporating worldly ways, Judaism, and Satan's synagogue, and goes through severe persecutions. A third that dwells where Satan's seat is (wherein Constantine mandates individuals in the Roman Empire to, “Be a Christian or Die”). There, with the world assimilated into the church, the doctrine of Balaam and Priestcraft/Clergyism takes full hold of His church. Grant writes, “All systems in which the Church is made a means of salvation, instead of the company of the saved, is so. When people join churches in order to be saved, these churches become the common receptacle of sinners and saints alike.” [pg63]

A fourth phase then finds “thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants …” (Rev2:20). That Jezebel is not the flagrant disregard of scripture that puts women in pulpits, that's a Laodicean thing of the last days. Jezebel is the “Church Teachings” that override the Holy Bible. It is Mary worship, transubstantiation, indulgences, creeds, catholicness and catholic mass. Protestants took Jezebel right through the Reformation with them, and in the fifth phase the church that Jesus founded “hast a name that thou livest, and art dead” (3:1). Jesus laid out a prophetic history of the church that is a train wreck in the works. And so it is fulfilled. We can read the annuls of history and see the parallel. We can comprehend the ending “that thou art neither cold nor hot: … So then because thou art lukewarm, … I will spue thee out of my mouth.” (3:15-16). Be sure you are in a Bible believing church, there are many impostors.
