The message emphasises remembering Christ’s prophecies and the apostles’ warnings about the last days.
๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐๐ฒ
Christ foretold the rise of false Christs and false prophets who would show great signs and wonders to deceive even the elect. Believers must endure amidst abounding iniquity, as salvation is for those who endure to the end. Christ’s words are absolute and will never pass away. Anyone who refuses to hear Christ and instead follows false prophets will be condemned.
๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐๐๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ
Believers must be mindful of and absorb the words of the holy prophets and the apostles. They must guard against those who speak perverse things and bring in damnable heresies to draw away disciples through covetousness and feigned words. It is wickedness to prevent others from hearing the saving words of Christ.
๐๐๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐ฌ
Apostates are against the life and mission of Christ. They allure through the lusts of the flesh and promise a false liberty while being servants of corruption themselves. They cause divisions and offences contrary to sound doctrine, serving their “own belly” instead of the Lord. Believers must avoid and not be friendly with anyone teaching false doctrines.

Apostates are characterised by a dangerous worldliness that believers must recognise and resist.
๐๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ
Apostates are carnal, leading to envying, strife, and divisions within the body. They speak of the world, and the world listens to them.
๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
Apostates are wicked because they hinder others from hearing the saving words of Christ.
Satan himself comes as an angel of light to beguile people. They use cunning craftiness and sleight of men to toss believers to and fro with every wind of doctrine.

The consequence of apostasy is ultimate destruction and eternal darkness.
๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
Apostates are separatists who break ties with the saving words of Christ. They often think they are “holier than thou”. They actively separate themselves from the Lord and His truth. Those who do not abide in Christ are withered branches, fit only to be gathered and burned.
๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ-๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
They are sensual (of the flesh), lacking mastery over lust, and do not have the controlling power of the Spirit of God. They are Spirit-less wanderers who lack grit to hold firm to the word of God. When you have the Holy Spirit, He brings the words of Christ into remembrance.
๐๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐ค๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ
The destiny of these “wandering stars” is the blackness of darkness for ever. Believers are exhorted to endure, continue in the faith, and remember the word so that their lives will be positive, profitable, and fruitful.
