Choose for yourself this day
Posted by appolus on March 29, 2025
The great falling away has been an intentional wilful act. Millions of “believers,” all over the world have heaped up teachers to themselves. “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine………they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Tim 4:3-4)
They have seized the treasures of this world and their priests have molded them into idols for them. They’ve sought out teachers who preach and justify their ways, teaching them how to thrive and live their best lives now. It’s a pyramid scheme of prosperity with their leaders always show casing their own success as proof. The blind lead the blind, and no one wants it any other way. Think of how the children of Israel did the same in their wilderness days, when leadership (Moses) was absent……….
They handed over the treasures of Egypt—the very spoils of their deliverance—not in thanksgiving to God, but to the priest who forged the idol of their rebellion. The same image of bondage they had just escaped, they now bowed to in ecstasy. And then—they rose up and played, casting off restraint like it was a thing to be mocked.
Eli and his sons? They stole from the brazen altar with grasping hands. They gorged themselves on what was sacred, their bellies fattened by what was never theirs to take. They took the choicest cuts, dripping with the blood of irreverence, showing no fear, no care for the holy things they defiled.
Here’s the truth, plain and terrifying: the people have clamored for exactly this. They didn’t stumble into corruption—they desired it. They built it, fed it, and now lie with it. This is no accidental fall—it’s a deliberate unholy alliance, a willful union where guilt is not only shared, it’s celebrated. The writing is on the wall.
Moses gave the people an ultimatum “whoever is on the Lord’s side come to me.” Three thousand were killed that day. Elijah says “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him, but if Baal is God, follow Him. But the people said nothing” Four hundred and fifty teachers of Baal were killed after fire fell from heaven. Joshua says “But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the Gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates or the Gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
In every generation the people have to decide who they will serve, who they will follow. The few will follow the Lord and the majority will follow the gods of their own “ancestors,” (dead religion) or the gods of the land in which they dwell. This generation has decided, the great falling away is complete, and now only a remnant, a few, will come out from among them. They and their household will serve the Lord.

AMEN Brother Frank.
Praise the LORD very well said.
The Word tells us so much when we diligently seek HIM.
Account after account explains these very things to us.
Just like GOD giving Israel King Saul. HE gave them what THEY wanted in a king and it went bad for them.
HE then gives them David the representation of the type of king HE wanted.
This will repeat itself in the Anti-Christ. He’s what the people want. Just like they wanted Barabbas set free and Jesus murdered.
Once again it will NOT go well for them. THEN Our LORD and Saviour will come to Reign FOREVER. What Beautiful Peace that will bring.
Several scripture stories also speak of everyone “doing what was right in their own eyes”. No different than the “do what thou wilt” of today.
ALL the Answers to our problems can be explained in the WORD and can and will be changed through HIS Redeeming Love.

2 Thessalonians 2:3 – “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition…”
If the falling away is complete, as you state, then the revealing of the antichrist will soon follow…this is very likely…

Frank, you speak as a brother in Christ our Lord, not afraid to tell the truth, something so few “Christians” want to hear, and will mostly dislike you for. Not pleasant for us, but it confirms that we’re walking faithfully and in obedience.
Jesus told his disciples they would be hated of all men for obediently following him, and speaking the truth. It was the same for the OT prophets. It’s the lot of all who will do the will of God.
Our great apostle Paul, also said that such treatment is not to be compared to the reward awaiting those who undergo trial and overcome. It’s the overcomers who will receive the promises.
Thank you for a very good and timely piece of your writing.
