Great Sermon!
Excellent sermon.
Very practical and encouraging and convicting.
Thank you Brother John for these words of warning and encouragement in these last days.
While it is true that “no man knows the day or the hour”, He also said in the same context; “learn the parable of the fig tree”, in other words you must know the “season” when the fig “and all the trees” are about to sprout new leaves, and you do this by paying attention to what He has just told you about the “signs of His coming and the end of the age”.
And of course, He has told us in that discourse on those signs to take special note of what Daniel said about “the abomination that makes desolate”, the very same thing that Paul refers to in 2 Thess 2.
One thing that is most important to note is that the venerable and much loved KJV wrongly translates the Greek word “anomia” as “iniquity” rather than the better more literal “lawlessness”.
The antichrist is “the lawless one” and “lawlessness” is the great basis of “the great apostacia”, for when the professing church listened to the false teaching of John Nelson Darby about the “law”, totally contrary to what the puritans taught about its right use, the visible church began its end times decent into that great “apostasy”, “for by the law is the knowledge of sin”
