Monday: The Falling Away
Read 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. What does Paul predict about the last days? What identifying marks does he give for the beast, the antichrist power?
The apostle Paul warns the Christian community of a “falling away” from the truth of God’s Word. He is concerned about the seeds of apostasy already present in the New Testament church, which would flourish in the coming centuries before the second coming of Christ. A counterfeit gospel would come into the church, distorting the Word of God.
Satan is the one who is behind this apostasy. He is the true “man of sin” who desires to exalt “himself above all that is called God” and sits in the “temple of God” (2 Thessalonians 2:4). But the “great deceiver” works through human agencies to accomplish his purposes. The identifying characteristics in Daniel and Revelation reveal that the little horn of Daniel 7:1-28, the beast of Revelation chapters 13 and 14, and the “lawless one” of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-17 represent the same entity.
The SDA Bible Commentary states it this way: “A comparison with Daniel’s prophecy of the blasphemous power that succeeds that of pagan Rome … , and with John’s word picture of the leopardlike beast. … reveals many similarities between the three descriptions [the little horn, the beast power, and the lawless one]. This leads us to the conclusion that Daniel, Paul, and John are speaking of the same power, … the papacy.” — Volume 7, p. 271.
It is extremely important to remember that Bible prophecy is describing a system of religion that has compromised God’s Word, substituted human traditions for the gospel, and one that drifted away from biblical truth. These prophecies are given by a God of incredible love to prepare a people for the coming of Jesus. They are a rebuke of apostate religious organizations that have departed from God’s Word, though not necessarily the people in them (see Revelation 18:4). Our message is about a system that has deceived millions. Though deceived, these people are much loved by Christ. Hence, we must treat them accordingly.
| “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12, NKJV). How must we apply this principle in dealing with the theme of the beast powers in Revelation chapters 13 and 14? |
Amen!

Understanding Bible Truths: The Father
Who is God the Father? How does the character of Christ reflect that of the Father? What does it mean to have God as our Judge? How is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New? This episode explores the third of the 28 fundamental beliefs: God the Father. Follow along with Dr. Frank Hasel, Keldie Paroschi, and guest, Dr. Greg King, as they discuss some of the most common questions concerning the topic of God the Father. Watch as studied theologians explain the character of the Father and discuss God’s view of sin to help us better comprehend His character. With Scripture leading the way, you will have a deeper understanding of yourself and your faith. Many questions are addressed in this video to help you develop a fuller picture of the Father. As Dr. King references, Psalm 34:8 states, “Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.” Searching for the Father and seeing His character through His Son is the pathway to developing a deeper relationship and understanding of Him. ————————————————————————————
