Watch for a BIG church split between those who want to continue mixing grace and law, preaching the ministry of death and the Ten Commandments versus ministry of the Spirit, the preaching of the gospel of the grace of Christ without the law.
It’s already happening.
In the next few decades, watch God’s Grace Revolution, Jude’s prophetic “earnestly contending for the faith that was once delivered to the saints”, to capture the church and encircle the globe and a massive worldwide incoming of souls before Christ comes for his saints.
One could argue that the big church split occurred when the Protestant Reformation proclaimed the five solas:
- Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
- Sola fide ("by faith alone")
- Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
- Solus Christus or Solo Christo ("Christ alone" or "through Christ alone")
- Soli Deo gloria ("glory to God alone")
Jim 0216, I do believe that the tares are being bundled separately from the wheat. Like you, I am hoping and would love it if there were some sort of a great last days revival like Joel 2 for formerly Christian nations like the USA, Britain, Canada, Germany, etc. I would never try to correct you, however Joel 2 in context seems to be an Israeli/Jewish revival as mentioned in Revelation 7. It is arguable whether there will be a world-wide last days revival for the gentile nations who have rejected God (Psalms 9:17). Even scarier are verses like Zechariah 6:8.
