When the Churches Crash :: By Keith Black

Published on: by RR10

The Bible has warned about the coming FALLING AWAY (Crash) and the Collapse in the Christian Religious community in 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The FALLING AWAY is not the Rapture (evacuation) teaching. It is a COLLAPSE in Christian values. It is more like a STOCK MARKET CRASH.  If the Christian Church was a STOCK MARKET, then the STOCKS would be the FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT as mentioned in the Bible. Here are the stocks: Love (caring love), Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Gentleness, and Self-Control. These are the investment-grade stocks that make you rich in God’s coming eternal kingdom.

The things that will CRASH the church begin with FALSE TEACHINGS, including PORK-BARREL PREACHING (Prosperity Preaching. When Preachers like Rick Warren, Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen, Oral Roberts, Robert Schuller, and many other Pork-Barrel preachers have promised that God will MULTIPLY YOUR INCOME 100-FOLD for making big donations to their ministries, they sound exactly like politicians in Washington who make promises of pork to their supporters.

These Pork-Barrel preachers never deliver on their promises that God will multiply your income 100-fold. They bankrupted old ladies who donated to them. They are preaching another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Also, 2 Peter 2:3 “And through covetousness [incitement of covetous sales tactics] shall they, with feigned [vote buying] words make merchandise of you; whose judgment now for a long time lingereth not, and their judgment slumbereth not.”

When the Pork-Barrel preachers fail to deliver on their promises that God will multiply the donors’ income 100-fold, or on the promises of healing, they leave the people in the congregations sorely disappointed. Then the people become bitter and blame God, but the ministers were false prophets. This can CRASH THEIR CHURCHES in a hurry.

People who never really got saved but got religion are extremely vulnerable to falling away and crashing. If you jump off a high building or a high cliff, you are going to crash when you reach the bottom. The results will be fatal.

Another false doctrine that can take people down is NAR: New Apostolic Reformation: Let’s call it Nationalist Apostolic Revolution. That is really Christian Nationalism, and it is really a political ideology. Dominion Theology is part of this, too. So is Kingdom Now ideology. Even Turning Point USA and Turning Point UK are part of NAR.

Read about Paula White in an article by Jonathan Brentner. Unfortunately, White has been Trump’s spiritual advisor and is now in charge of his White House Faith Office.

The NAR is now swallowing up the Southern Baptist Convention. Because the SBC is decentralized where the individual congregations own their own churches, not all of it gets swallowed all at once. The Catholics, Episcopals/Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, and the Orthodox Church are all centralized, so the individual churches can’t break away from corrupt denominations. That is why these churches crashed first.

But the top SBC denominational machinery is taken over by the left. It would be smart if the Southern Baptist Churches broke away before the left gains too much control at the top. Will the Southern Baptists crash, too?

And forget about the Catholic church. It is the Great Harlot in Revelation 17 & 18.

Another sign of the times is the disappearance of large (more than 500 people) Prophecy Conferences/Conventions. Now, only one group does it annually. That group is Prophecy Watchers.

One of the worst religions of all is the Social Justice/Liberation Theology ideology. Ever since the October 7 attack on Israel by Palestinian Hamas Terrorists, these leftwing Churches have supported Palestinians at the expense of the Jews in Israel. They even push for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions against Israel. These churches are cursing Israel (See Genesis 12:3).

They are inviting the harsh judgment of God upon themselves. It includes the AME Churches, Episcopal/Anglican denomination (except Anglican Churches in Africa), The Lutherans, United Methodists (Conservative Churches broke away from it to escape leftist grip but had to pay a high ransom to get their churches out), United Church of Christ (Jeremiah Wright and Obama), Most Presbyterians, Catholic Church, African Methodists Episcopal, and Unitarian Church (Sadducees).

Social Justice/Liberation Theology is Marxism, not Christianity. Their Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible but is Karl Marx with a robe on.  Marx was a false Messiah. They preach another gospel (Galatians 1:6-9) that Paul warned of.

The Left-wing Churches hate Jews and Israel. They also hate America and real Christians. These Churches have spiritually crashed into apostasy years ago. The churches have none of the fruits of the Spirit. They are filled with hate, envy, bitterness, rebellion, strife, godlessness, murder (desire to kill those that they hate), strife, LGBTQ agenda, unthankful, traitors, false accusers, fierce, despisers of those that truly follow God, pride, having a form of godliness, but denying his power, Jew-hating, and all the other evils mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. These churches are spiritually bankrupt.

When all denominations have fallen away and crashed into apostasy, there will be a spiritual great depression (God warned of a famine of the hearing of the Word of God) and the rise of the Anti-Christ.

The Spiritual Stock Market Crash will be far worse than the Crash of 1929 or the Crash of 1987.  To be taken down in this crash will doom you for all eternity. The way to avoid being taken down in this great crash is to make sure that you have truly accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior. He will save you, and you will be safe and secured by the Holy Spirit.

Worship Jesus, not Karl Marx as your Messiah. If you are truly saved, you will be taken up in the Rapture/Evacuation. Those left behind are in even more danger of falling for the Great Delusion coming in the Tribulation. All denominations will crash by then. All the crashed denominations will be merged with the Vatican and all the Pagan Religions into a one-world religious system.

Accept Jesus now.

Satan and his evil minions, both demonic and human, almost hourly seem to turn down the rheostat of spiritual enlightenment. The incremental darkening can’t be missed by those who are observing these times.

However, while that hellish darkening process intensifies, as witnessed here in our own nation in places like Minneapolis, Chicago, and other blue cities, and in the Middle East with the slaughter by the Iranian regime, we who belong to Christ have within us the light that cannot be turned down or extinguished.

Our Lord said the following:

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14-16).

Dear Rapture Ready family:

Jesus’ words, issued two thousand years ago, describe His thoughts about you and me as we strive to put forth light in His holy name. We’re here on this fallen planet at a time He knew would be the spiritual environment of darkening evil at the very end of this Age of Grace.

This website strives to put forth in this ever-darkening world truth from the very heart of God. Our purpose is to fit within Christ’s definition: “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hil [that] cannot be hid.”

You—as a citizen of Heaven and as a sojourner, a royal ambassador for God’s Kingdom upon this fallen planet—are part of that light. It is the heavenly light that all who are lost in the darkness of sin will forever be without…apart from God’s saving grace. 

It is vital to the great cause of bringing souls under God’s saving grace for Rapture Ready to have the support of you, our RR family—that is, the family of God.

We’ve been assigned to be the light of the world. We’re like the Lord’s description of the shining city on a hill that cannot be hidden. We cannot let our efforts diminish but must make that light brighter than ever in these darkening hours so near the Tribulation.

The minions of the Ephesians 6:12 cabal (the wickedness in high places against which we struggle) are doing everything within their demonic power to turn off God’s light. This includes coming against this website as we strive to enlighten the world of cyberspace with truth.

For example: During this last quarter, Todd has had to increase the ad budget for RR. This is necessary because of restrictive movement placed on the site by those who govern Google, et cetera. This interference has diminished our prominence in regard to being easily accessed by those looking to link to Raptureready.com.

Unfortunately, the greatly increased expenditure is the only way to reach new people. Social media sites have a monopoly over the internet. The move has increased our traffic by 20 percent.

But this attempt to boost traffic to the level needed is expensive. We need more revenue to make Raptureready.com more easily accessible to those searching for God’s truth. We need you, our RR family members, to help keep God’s light bright in this spiritually darkening time so near Christ’s call to the Church in the Rapture.

I heard Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas just as I was writing this appeal. He quoted a pastor he knows, who said: “When we leave this earth we will leave all in our bank account behind. That is, except for that which we send on ahead to our Heavenly Bank Account.”

The compounding interest that accrues from that investment over the trillions of years into eternity will reap heavenly riches beyond anything we can imagine.

But the souls saved because of our contributions will doubtless reap the greatest heavenly rewards of all!
