Things are going to grow worse, God said it and I believe Him. There will be no end times worldwide revival, there will be so little faith upon the earth that God warned about it.
Matthew 24:21-23 "…21 For at that time there will be great tribulation, unmatched from the beginning of the world until now, and never to be seen again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days will be shortened. 23 At that time, if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe it."
Any revivals people claim are happening or going to happen are smoke and mirrors. God clearly states that there will not be one. If one appears to come it is the antichrist dilution setting up to deceive people with false miracles.
The prosperity type preachers like to promise nice happy things to divert the fears of people. What they manage to do is lull the people to sleep while they are rocked into a false reality.
Apostate churches will be on board with these false miracles. They will even accuse born again believers of lacking faith because they are not buying into the false miracles and lying wonders.
Those who are looking to a leader right now to save their country are not looking to Christ. Israel had this mentality in the days of old. They wanted a king like the other nations when God was their ruler. God gave them what they wanted and it brought them nothing but trouble.

Sadly we have many "Christians" in our day looking for a leader who will make them safe and carry them through hard times. Their hope is not in Christ it is in a human leader.
To my dismay, I see Christians who are deeply invested in a nation and a leader, fighting to defend and promoting while elevating to god-like status men whom they believe can save them.
Christ was very clear that in these end times the only man who will come to save the day will be the false prophet and the antichrist. These two will make people believe they are going to make everything right. They are devils in disguise as gods. They will lie at every turn and produce a hypnotic state for those who have no Spiritual discernment or faith in Christ.
These people will be sucked into the false promises to the point of pledging their allegiance to them by taking the number of the man in whom they have placed their trust. The people will believe all the lies of the false prophet and the antichrist, even turning in their family and friends who will not bow the knee to this false god.
The world will ignore the clues that these two men are devils, just as they ignore the flaws in their favorite icons right now.
Does this sound slightly familiar to what is going on right now?
When believers will throw their friends under a bus because they have exposed some evil about a human being, they have made that human being more important than God.
Ephesians 5:11
"Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them."
Matthew 7:21-23
"“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’"
Just because someone claims to be a Christian does not make it so. Many people in our world say they are Bible believers but become agitated and even rage when their belief is exposed as wrong because of the scriptures.
We are to compare what our friends, family, and leaders say and do to the scriptures. When they are wrong we are to say so.
One of the biggest clues of idol worship is when someone cannot hear the clues that may expose their favorite preacher or leader.
One way we know someone is not acting according to the Spirit of God and the Bible is when they will not address the question but will turn to personal attacks on our character to discredit what we say rather than scripturally proving us wrong. So many people will use scripture but snatch it out of its context to make it say what they want to believe.
Remember this when you encounter those who tend to quote men more than they quote God. Those who will follow a man instead of Christ, are far more in number than those who love Christ.
Psalm 97:10
"O you who love the Lord, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked."
