ESCHATOLOGY: DON'T BE DECEIVED BY ERRONEOUS AND UNLEARNED TEACHERS AND PREACHERS
People that tell you the Lord Jesus Christ may come in the next ten minutes are telling you a lie. Some people may try to explain their distortion of eschatology through a vision or dream. However, the Bible clearly tells us that Jesus will not come until the son of perdition is revealed. That means the world must see great changes of wicked, religious presentation in the temple first.
2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The wicked impostor (of God) will be destroyed by Jesus.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
So, if Jesus is going to be the winner of the battle and final ruler of the earth, he is not going to come here in the next ten minutes, hour or event until first the man of sin is revealed and destroyed.
I contend with many unlearned Christians. They seem to just follow blindly what some erroneous preacher tells them about eschatology without really listening to reproofs and searching for confirmation of obvious errors. Marcus Lamb, who also was reported as having an affair, is one such heretic. The Southern Baptist denomination, which also promotes legalized adultery, has promoted eschatological heresy for years. Many times, but perhaps not always, the eschatological distortion or deception is accompanied with sexual heresy also. The fruit of the promoters of eschatological unlearnedness and distortion is manifested many times through destruction of their marital lives and their student victims, perhaps also due to unlearnedness, and their erroneous view of marriage. Unlearnedness, manifestations of actual and theological sin, and preaching without significant biblical reference are things to look out for in heretics.
Dreams and visions may be a way God communicates with us. However, his written word (the bible) is the authority and we should always compare our thoughts with it.
Observing the symtoms and manifestations (Galatians 5:19-21) of heretics: |

Notice the misleading title:THE SOON COMING RAPTURE & THE FUTURE FORETOLD |

Notice Lamb admitting his sexual problem. However, just an incidence of sexual deviation, fornication or adultery is only the symptom or the manifestation of the problem. Usually, these heretics have much deeper theological problems about sex and contradict the institution of marriage itself. |
Mr. Isaac was also interviewed on his fellow heretic Marcus Lamb's show. Merely because a bible teacher has a doctorate degree does not mean that he possesses correct theology. Kenneth Copeland went to Oral Roberts University as an adulterer. He still lives in adultery. Some schools and their students ignore God's word for direction. So, don't let someone's title deceive you. Notice in his brief speech, he implies that some Christians will escape the tribulation through a rapture. The word “rapture” is actually not in the King James Version bible. As you can see, the Scripture does not teach that either: 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Mr. Isaac, as many of his associate bible teachers and distorters, is a book-seller also, not working with hands and giving truth. This type of eschatological deviation, ignorance, unlearnedness and blind following is a theological epidemic. Their supporters are not guiltless. It has caused the erring to live in mansions and their heresies to become spread world-wide. Youth have not only been misled and deceived, but deprived of good discipleship in times of needed edification. |
