Just a quick glance at all the crazy upside-down happenings in today’s world, and any Christian might nervously ask the question, “Is the restraining power of the Holy Spirit finally being removed from Mankind?

.

Have we now arrived at the end of all things?

.

Is the world’s probationary time almost expired?

.

Could His removal be the reason for all the craziness, all the hatred, and lawlessness, and rampant crime now occurring in the world?”

“MY SPIRIT SHALL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN”

.

Certainly, there are Bible passages which seem to suggest that this would happen, just prior to Christ’s Return…”And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.” Genesis 6:3

.

Or what about this…”For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming:”? 2nd Thessalonians 2:7, 8

.

Well, of course, these two above passages do not specifically detail exactly what they suggest. Nevertheless, these, along with other similar Bible passages seem to indicate that the Holy Spirit will indeed be removed just prior to the end.

.

And let’s face it! “The god of this world”, Satan, appears to be causing greater and greater mayhem and destruction around the world. And like never before in history has there been such a satanic pandemic global assault like the one we’re now witnessing all around us!

A SHORT-LIST OF SIGNS OF HOLY SPIRIT’S ABSENCE 

.

The tsunami of rampant crime and violence (See Matthew 24:12)

.

The incredible increase of dishonesty and abject liars in Government and media. (2nd Timothy 3:1-13)

.

The major media now “speak(s) as a dragon” deceiving, dividing, and devolving the morality of society. (Revelation 13:11)

.

The unwillingness of mayors, governors and national leadership to stop crime in the cities. (See Revelation 16:19)

.

The abject falsehoods now being increasingly taught to schoolchildren, concerning history, gender-confusion, sodomy, and even math! And teachers are now beginning to openly engage in sex acts with students! (Matthew 18:6)

.

The growing intolerance and persecution of Christians, conservatives, and certain unprotected ethnic groups. (John 16:2)

.

The pandemic rise of sodomy. (Luke 17:28)

.

The ability of nations to control who can buy or sell. (Revelation 13:17)

.

Society beginning to make ridiculous, even insane behavioral demands upon the general populace. (Jeremiah 25:15-17)

“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.”

Matthew 24:12 

.

Yes, when the persecution of God’s faithful remnant ceased after the Dark Ages, Satan instead began to embrace the Church, causing us to lay down our spiritual armor and “join in the fun with our newly-acquired ‘friend’, the world”!

.

But these “kisses of an enemy” were merely a deceitful trap to render God’s Church ineffectual by our earthly-minded pursuit of the things of this seemingly friendly world. (see Proverbs 27:6)

.

And so, O trembling child of faith, don’t be surprised when the world just keeps getting worse and worse!

.

Sin is a bottomless pit!

.

And it appears that we are soon going to finally witness sin’s true depths, just prior to Christ’s Return, when He rescues us from all this soon-coming madness!

MANY “GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES”!

.

Well, one thing is for certain: God’s Spirit will never be withdrawn from His true worshipers…”and, lo, I (Jesus) am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:20  Here is a guarantee from God Himself, that He will be with us right up to His literal Return! And the Christian can take comfort in these and similar Bible promises.

.

Listen again…”for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:5, 6

.

Yes, the Bible is literally teeming with such “great and precious promises” as these! 2nd Peter 1:4

.

And every tried-and-true worshiper of Christ can claim these assurances, no matter how crazy things in the world continue to get out there!
