PART VI

        We live today in the age of the “lukewarm” church: a church in which Christ says to the “false brethren,” “I will spew thee out of My mouth.” Gal.2:4; Rev.3:14-22. Why? Because “they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved.” (II Th.2:10). As a result of the “false teachers” (II Pet. 2:1), and the sheer blindness of the religious intellectuals [in their monasteries for the self-righteous (Isa.65:5)], the LORD will have to set in motion a series of events, which, in the end, will reveal the true character of most professing Christians (Matt.7:14). I Peter 4:18 verifies that the vast majority of those professing Christ as LORD will not escape the condemnation of sin, and they will stand condemned before the LORD Jesus Christ at the last resurrection (Matt.7:22-27). And with the coming storm against GOD’S people the increase of threats assailing the “Christians” will only increase the loss of souls: the very souls that Jesus gave His life to redeem (Jer.12:5).

        But many will heed the “still, small voice” of Christ’s last call, “come out of her My people…” (Rev.18:4). The true mettle of their characters will be revealed before everyone. The gentle decency of Christ’s voice will be recognized and obeyed, as the Saviour said, “But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers…I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine...And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” John 10:2-16.
