“Come Out And Be Separate” - Part 3 (The Great Falling Away)

In Isaiah 30:9-11, the Prophet warns of this smooth, non-offensive gospel, which people are clamoring for today to satisfy their itching ears (2 Tim. 4:3). His prophecy applies directly to the present time because God instructed him to write it “for the time to come.” (Is. 30:8) 

“For this is a rebellious people, false sons – sons who refuse to listen to the instruction of the Lord; who say to the seers: “You must not see visions.” And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right. Speak to us pleasant words – prophesy illusions. Get out of the way – turn aside from the path. Let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.”

According to Isaiah, there was no preaching of holiness or repentance. Why? Because the people did not want to be corrected or convicted. They refused to hear anything but a smooth gospel. Yet a diluted gospel is no gospel at all.

And as the Bride of Christ is being prepared to meet Him in the air, the dividing line

between the legitimate and the pretenders is being calibrated in Truth – with the call for His genuine “born again” redeemed ones to “come out and be separate” and to “contend even more earnestly for the true Faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.” (Jude 1:3)
