Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And then many will be offended and repelled and will begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred. Matthew 24:9-10
I want to share my personal experience here. The lost almost never pursue me with hatred, however the false prophets, the wolves in sheep’s clothing do, religious people do. They pursue me with such vigor because our Father will not allow me to go back into the bondage of trusting at all in human ability. Jesus has set me free from believing, even for a moment, that I first or ever do anything apart from Christ. Fake religious people hate this testimony of Truth. They want us to believe that we first choose on our own, or that we first believe on our own, or that we first act on our own, and they hold so tightly to the false teaching of free will, Jeremiah 10:23. They are by definition anti-christ’s, 1 John 4:3. Wolves will absolutely talk about Jesus, but they believe that we hold the power to bring our Father into our lives or deny Him access. They are the blind leading the blind, Luke 6:39.
But the righteousness based on faith [imputed by God and bringing right relationship with Him] says, Do not say in your heart, Who will ascend into Heaven? that is, to bring Christ down; Romans 10:6
These so called christians will absolutely flock to the anti-christ during the end times. Most of these false teachers believe in a pre-tribulation rapture. So they will not believe that the anti-christ will be revealed while they are still here on the earth, so they will rush to be part of his church. They will hear the message that they so love: what we do to allow God to act in our lives. They will see the miracles that he performs and they will absolutely flock to him, thus stumbling away from our Father's power, or in other words Christ. We will tell them that the anti-christ is wrong. Our Father will use us to show them the Truth in His Word that shows that what the anti-christ is teaching is wrong and they will hate us for it. These false prophets, who will seem very religious, will attack us and kill us, 2 Timothy 3:5. We will be hated by these religious people, but our Father will use us to feed the masses, when there is no food. Our Father will use us to give water to the thirsty when there is no water, Matthew 24:45-46. We will be used to do the works that Jesus was used for and even greater works by our Father during the end times, John 14:12. We will be used to lead an uncountable number of our brothers and sisters out of every tribe, tongue, and nation, Revelation 7:9, to the Truth that sets them free!
And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error. Matthew 24:11
We can see here that people during the end times do not flee religion, but they do flee Christ, which is the power of our Father working through man. People fall away from confessing the Truth that it is our Father within us doing all of the works. They won't stop talking about Jesus, but they will deny that He alone is all of our power, John 15:5. This message is being preached right now in mass. It is far more common for a preacher to tell us what we have to do, then what Jesus has to do through us.
