The New Testament is prophetic concerning the future of New Testament Congregations as well as apostasy.
1. Apostate Christianity will be in the majority or the "many" - Mt. 7:13; 21-23
2. New Testament Christianity will be in the minority - Mt. 7:14
This is consistent with the parable of the tares where at the end of the world the true seed are "hid" among the apostate majority - Mt. 13:43-44
This is consistent with the Lord's comment upon the parable of persistence in faithfulness - Luke 18:8
This is consistent with Apostolic warnings about the end times - 1 Tim. 4:1; 2 Thes. 2:3; 2 Tim. 3:1,12
1. Apostate Theocratic religion will be the persecuter and killer of N.T. Christianity - Jn. 16:1-4; Rev. 17:6; 18:4,20,24
2. New Testament Christianity will be persectued and killed
2 Tim. 3:1 1 ¶ This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come......
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
New Testament Christianity will be the objects of reproach and ridicule and distortion (Mt. 5:10-12) in contrast to the "many" whose soteriology is composed of faith in Christ plus their good works performed in his name (Mt. 7:13,22).
Catholocism must be categorized as the "many" due to its size and due to its soteriological profession that matches perfectly the profession of those in Matthew 7:22.
Cathlocism must be categorized as the persecutor and killer of others due to its bloody history.
Catholicism must be categorized as the perverter and distorter of others as all who opposed her were called heretics and their teachings destroyed and perverted in order to bring them under the secular laws to kill.
Inspired prophetic History takes precedence over Catholic controlled uninspired history as the Catholic controlled uninspired history confirms the inspired prophetic History's description of Catholicism and its growth and persecution of others.
