“Maybe, maybe not. The Church has been in as bad a shape before.”

Well, true. I was thinking of the current “emergent” church movement, to name one current apostasy that is growing within the church. I don’t see a “falling away” of dispensationalists as a group because of some end-time “failer”.

I haven't read much about the “emergent” stuff, although the dispensation view has always given me shivers due to the fact that save for a few Gnostic details it's almost identical to the Marcion heresy of old. Even the fact that it doesn't outright declare itself Gnostic doesn't carry much weight when you see surveys like the one "Christianity Today" took of Evangelical Dispensationalists in 1980 that showed only 43% of them would agree that Jesus is both fully human and fully God.

In what way does the emergent church go down the road to apostasy? Like I say, I haven't paid much attention to it.

When prophecy fails, some leave. Others adjust their model. We've seen this before.
