The Falling Away By The Sword

[whirlwind]

Daniel 11:32-33 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. There is a difference there in "they that understand" and "the people that do know their God." Who are those that “do wickedly against the covenant?” Christians! Misled believers that fall for false doctrine. They are those that have understanding of Christ (Christians) and yet they are those that “he,” Satan…”corrupts by flatteries.” They SHALL FALL into apostasy because of the “very smooth, treacherous” LIES, the "flatteries." Fall…as used in these verses of Daniel are…. Fall #3782 Hebrew - to totter or waver through weakness of the legs, espec. The ankle, to falter, stumble, faint, or fall, cast down, bereave, ruin, overthrown, etc…..Flatteries is…#2519 – something very smooth; i.e. a treacherous spot; blandishment: - flattery, slippery.11:34-35 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.As written...they shall fall (to his deception) but they are helped when the witnesses of end times allow the Holy Spirit to speak through them. Will they hear the Spirit...or will they continue to listen to those that "cleave to them," (twine, unite, join) with them through slippery, treacherous LIES? At the “time of the end” God’s people, Christians, “shall instruct many.” Yet “they shall fall by the sword, flame, captivity and by spoil…many days.” Christians are and will teach others and yet….they shall fall. Fall to what…or, to whom shall they fall? To satan and his deception taught through religion. This deception, false doctrine, has caused many to fall for “many days,” already but….”at the time of the end” it will be MANY of God’s people, “For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.” [Mark 13:19] They will “fall” into apostasy. The “falling to the sword,” etc. is spiritual…not physical!11 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition, Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.Falling #646 Greek…apostasia, defection from truth, apostasy…falling away, forsake.We must realize too...we don't know when that time will be. We won't know when the witnesses are teaching. We could be smack-dab in the middle or the beginning, or the end of the three and one half years...RIGHT NOW! Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.We can't expect a big announcement on television telling us....the witnesses are here, the hour has arrived. We can only know the season and watch events. What do they appear to be to you?

Sadly most will hate the two wittness as they will be preaching against antichrist ... And sense most the whole world will believe antichrist is the real Christ because they did not believe the truth of Gods Wordsthey will hate the two wittness ... think them trouble makers and liars ...And the World will throw a Party at the time of their death Rev 11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. How do they torment by telling the truth that Christ is not here that antichrist is a fake a liar the World will hate this truth Rev 11:11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Lift up your heads at this site for the true Christ is coming quickly to complete the 7th and last trump Gods Wrath its against the beast (antichrist) and his followers not his believers

Thank you for bringing this up in Daniel 11:32-33. Reading the different translations are good and there are other scriptures that refer to this time that will bring in more understanding about it. Rev. 13:8 says those who are not written in the Lamb's book of life will take this mark of the beast. These seem to be those who are swayed by His flattery. I don't think any of us understand the depth of this yet. There is corruption that is in their hearts, not being fully committed in their hearts to God....the time of testing, and it will be designed to miss lead those not really circumcised in their hearts. And no one is smarter than what is in his or her heart. It is so serious, that many will be blinded to what is taking place and will follow the beast, because of the hardness of their heart. It is scary and very real. The NIV says in the last part of verse 32, those who KNOW THEIR GOD will firmly resist him. and as verse 33 continues with the thought, they are wise and will instruct many, and when those fall that die in the faith during this time still helping others believe will receive a little help just as God says. He is a merciful Lord and many who are not sincere will die with these and stay dead till the Lord's arrival, which this brings in. They will be raised also and brought up for judgement facing the 2nd death. which Jeremiah 8:1-20 speaks clearly about. Read it if you can find time. God recently showed me this he wrote about it. The Lord is showing many of us more and more as we keep reading about this time ahead of us. Just as God says in Daniel 11:35 the time of the End will still come at the Appointed time, no one can change it, and it is some where in the 45 day period after the 1260 day period of the abomination that must happen. This is why we don't know the hour or the day but we have been told what must happen that must be completed for Christ to return.

We must realize too...we don't know when that time will be. We won't know when the witnesses are teaching. We could be smack-dab in the middle or the beginning, or the end of the three and one half years...RIGHT NOW! Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.We can't expect a big announcement on television telling us....the witnesses are here, the hour has arrived. We can only know the season and watch events. What do they appear to be to you?

They are just what God tells us in Daniel. We are going into this tribulation and many will stumble and fall, many will be taking the mark of the beast with flatteries that will pull the uncircumcised heart away from God and perish. To be brought up to face the 2nd death and burned like chaff. Others will be brought into eternal life at his coming at the appointed time at the End of the beast power in the temple. Be ready with gathering oil in your lamps for half of the virgins will be woken up with us as Jeremiah speaks of their flesh coming back on their bones and them speaking about the cup of gall they acknowledge they are to drink and go into the city it seems to face the 2nd death when the bride groom comes. We are put into some rooms as Isaiah 26:19-20 says to wait for his wrath to pass over and these are to die their 2nd death. May those who have ears hear what the spirit speaks on this matter.
