After the twin towers came down the people who had not been in the church many years rushed to go for about six weeks. As soon as they felt safe again they stopped going. You do the math!
People will turn to just about anyone who seems powerful when they are terrified of something. They will even pray but not know to whom they should pray.
When the disaster is all over and the people feel safe again they return to their old ways. Their "religion" was just that, only religion full of things to do to feel spiritual. This is not the state of the born again believer. We have a relationship with Christ that transcends all life experiences.
If you don't believe this take a look at the Israelites when their back was against the wall of water when the Egyptians were chasing them.
God opened up a path through the sea for them to walk on dry ground. When they were safe the Egyptians followed them and God closed up the sea drowning all of them.
What happened after that? The Israelites had seen an incredible miracle melted down their gold and made a calf to worship. They saw the miracles of their God and yet when things seemed safe they went back to their old ways, worshiping false images.
We are no different!!! I have seen people rush to the homes of born again believers to want the safety of their God, pretend to be changed only to return to their real selves when the crisis passed.
This will be the nature of things in the world in these end times. Only this time they will turn to someone who claims to be the Christ, but he will be a false christ filled with the devil. He will destroy good and torment the people with horrors we have never seen before. But first, he will pretend to be good, do lying wonders and give the people great things.
For three and a half years there will be bliss only to be followed by three and a half years of monstrous misery.
Read the book of Revelation and see what will happen. Read about the gigantic scorpions, devils that will sting the people brining on pain like we have never seen before.
The misery of these devils will be illusions that appear as real as a bad trip on LSD, with no way to escape. The pain and misery will be real and continual. Those left behind will see it, feel it and hear it, but it will all be in their minds.
How do you fight a spirit or an illusion? There will be no weapon that will battle or deter these monsters because they are spiritual.
Read the book of Revelation, then read the book of John to learn how to escape what is in store for those who will not trust in Christ before the tribulation begins.
