The incredible SWM were, and are, and will be, about proving BOTH
Jesus was the Messiah! and Jesus' gospel was true!
See the Scriptures in the OP.
The Bible doesn't predict most things about the end times.
It's natural to assume that things would carry on as they were,
except for the warning about Satan and his demons attacking the word and the churches!
Don't you think the Lord 100% protected His early church (like a baby) until it got going?
No, that would take a little common sense.
Joel 2 sure fits perfectly with the beginning (1905) of the last days.
The delusion (2 Thes 2:11) has to do with the antichrist, who still hasn't been revealed?
Re: God-anointed apostles ... semantics? ... plenty of men all over the world setting up churches
Re: God-anointed prophets ... plenty of those all over the world
My question to you continues ...
How could anyone like you have been in Pentecostal leadership?
"For as many as are being LED by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." (Romans 8:14)
I actually have to believe that ...
You were being led/deceived by Satan, and then God told you that this was all a pile of BS ... Get out!
The reason being ... you were specially called out to be part of the truth, and to be really used of God.
IMO, He saw your heart and wanted something better for you.
But, first you need to be delivered from deceiving spirits who are blinding and confusing you.
Of course, that's the case with multitudes of believers, who just can't grasp:
“the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world” (Revelation 12:9)
“the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19)
“the god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
“the ruler of this world” (John 12:31)
“there is no truth in him ... he is liar and the father of it” (John 8:44)
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks
about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8)
