'Why COVID19 Now?'
False Prophets, False Teachers
2 Pet 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
In the olden days, false prophets with destructive heresies destroyed the faith of the Israelites. Unfortunately many followed them to damnation.
Similarly, false teachers (wolves) today, will deceive many Christians to damnation.
2 Pet 2:2 And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.
OT False Prophets
Jer 23:14 Also I have seen a horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in lies; they also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, And her inhabitants like Gomorrah.
God exposed these false prophets by their sinful nature - they are adulterous, liars and they called evil good (covetous, idolatrous, adultery, merciless)
Because of their heresies of justifying the sins of Israelites (by calling evil good) no one repented. So God killed all the Jewish leaders, false prophets and rebellious for accepting and promoting these heresies to destroy the faith of the Israelites.
NT False Teachers
II Pet 2:3 By covetousness they (false teachers) will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
Teachers are pastors, elders and leaders who preach or teach the congregation. False teachers distort the word of God for financial benefits.
Unfortunately, endtime Christians reject the truth and prefer lies and deception. So these unscrupulous Christian leaders satisfy their itching ears with heresies.
2 Tim 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
Harvest of Tares
Mat 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."
Before the greatest harvest of souls (wheat) ever during the Fourth Seal, God will harvest the tares (depraved, covetous, heretic, carnal and worldly Christian leaders, pastor and false teachers). These will be cast them into fire of hell for destroying the faith of His beloved Christians.
Unless these depraved and heretic leaders (tares or hypocrites) repent, they will be killed with pestilences, wars and famines for obstructing His work of preparing the bride of the Lamb for rapture.
Rom 1:32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Anyone allowing, approving the promotion of heresies and abominable practices will also be counted as practicing them esp. now in social media such as WhatsApp, WeChat, Facebook, etc.
