END TIME DISCERNMENT AT THE END OF THE AGE

"Providing clear evidence as to the Biblical time frame we are living in, enabling believing Christians to be discerning and have a sense of urgency to share the gospel of Christ

32 Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command. (1 Ch 12:32)

1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and testing Him asked that He would show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said to them, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; 3 and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times. (Mt 16:1–3)

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. (i.e. what God wants to accomplish through us) (Eph 5:15-17)

Whom will you follow the, "Sons of Issachar or the Pharisees and Sadducees ?"

The proper context for interpreting the Bible is the context of the biblical writers—the context that produced the Bible. Every other context is alien to the biblical writers and, therefore, to the Bible.

The Importance of End Time Discernment

As we approach the end of the age, biblical discernment will be of paramount importance. The institutional church will become more anti-biblical, and society will demonstrate more of an antichrist spirit. Their activities will culminate in the seven-year Tribulation period. Those who hold a biblical worldview will be increasingly seen as undesirable and persecuted in various ways, i.e., socially, employment, legal, physical, institutional (academia, media, business), etc. (John 15:18-21)

What Spiritual Warfare Actually Means

SATAN THE GOD OF "THIS AGE"

The phrase 'god of this age' (2 Co 4:4) (Greek - ho theos tou aiōnos toutou), is a phrase nowhere else found in the New Testament. It implies rulership.

Jesus uses the same idea of rulership in John 12:31; 14:30 and Paul in Eph. 2:2; 6:12 and John in 1 John 5:19.

Satan claimed rulership over the world during his attempted temptations of Jesus, which Jesus did not dispute. (Matt 4:8-9)

These verses indicate that Satan is the major influencer on the ideals, opinions, goals, hopes, and views of the majority of people. His influence encompasses philosophies, religion, ideologies, education, entertainment, politics, social media, business, and commerce of the world. These serve as mechanisms to distribute his antichrist / antibiblical message.

THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF HUMANITIES CONDITION

Humanity, by nature, is prone and attracted to sin. Therefore, making it susceptible to Satanic influence. It does not mean a person will sin all the time. What it does mean, humanity has an inclination toward sin, both in thought (Gen 8:21; Matt 9:4; Matt 15:19) and practice. The corruption of sin extends to all humanity and all parts of humanity's being. Therefore there is nothing within the natural man (one not born again) that can give them merit in God’s sight.

Humanity's intellect (2 Co 4:4; Ro 1:28), conscience (1 Tim 4:2), will (Rom 1:28), heart (Eph. 4:18), behavior (Matt 15:18-19; Gal 5:19-21) his total being (Ro 1:18–3:20) reflects a corrupt nature.

Therefore there is nothing within the natural man (one not born again) that can give them merit in God’s sight.

Humanity corrupt nature is a universal condition(Rom 5:12). It manifests itself by disobedience to the revealed will of God, as found in the Bible. The Bible describes this disobedience as lawlessness (1 John 3:4) because it doesn’t conform to the glory of God (1 Cor. 10:31).

THE DARK PSYCHE OF THE WORLDS CULTURE

THE CULTURE CALLS THE PLUNGE INTO SIN AS BEING PROGRESSIVE THE BIBLE CALLS IT DARKNESS, EVIL AND WICKED AND DESCRIBES ITS PARTICIPANTS AS ONES WHO ARE STUMBLING

Isaiah 5:20
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Proverbs 4:19
19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.

John 3:19-20
19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed.

Discerning The State of The Institutional Church

Biblical Knowledge According to the Ponce Foundation" article title ,"Christians Don’t Read Their Bible". The following was stated:"... over 82% of Christian Americans only read their Bibles on Sundays while in church."
A little over 20 years ago, Gallup released the results of a major study indicating that 86% of Americans claimed to be Christian, although only 70% of these admitted to being “born again” according to biblical measure...

The study also shows that, in evangelical churches throughout the United-States, statistics show 36% of those who attend church weekly indicate that believing in Jesus Christ is the only true way to Heaven. A shocking 57% of American Christians believe other religions can lead to eternal life.

Another unfortunate statistic, "One of the main reasons why American Christians don’t read their bibles is, only 22% of them believe the Bible is fully inspired by God Himself, and written by men who were divinely appointed by the Lord almighty. Over 1 in 4 American Christians believe the bible to be a book written by mere men, not at all the word of God."

UPDATE
Just 2% of millennials hold a biblical worldview, lowest among all adults: "Although 61% of American millennials consider themselves to be Christian, just 2% of them were found to hold a biblical worldview, according to a recent study released by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University."...read more
