Heart Growing Cold?
- Now Think On This
by Steve Martin
“At
that time many will be trapped into betraying and hating each other, many false
prophets will appear and fool many people; and many people’s love will grow
cold because of increased distance from Torah. But whoever holds out till the
end will be delivered. And this Good News about the Kingdom will be announced
throughout the whole world as a witness to all the Goyim. It is then that the
end will come.” (Matt 24:10-14 Complete Jewish Bible)
Murderous evil has become rampant – beheadings, burnings,
torture, rape and killings. So much martyrdom is occurring daily in several nations,
as the evil one pours out his wrath on the believers of Jesus (Yeshua) and
those of the Chosen Ones. Captured as prisoners, tortured for their faith in
the only True God; refusing to bow down to the false god – our brothers and
sisters are being slaughtered for standing for truth.
As some would watch this daily news, is it possible that hearts
are growing cold, replacing the fire that once burned within, and turning their
love away? Is it possible that many people’s love would indeed grow cold, as
Jesus prophesied 2000 years ago, and not hold onto the end? Yes it is.
Turning away from the truth, out of growing fear, promises that
seem to have been forgotten, or just plain lack of anymore concern and
compassion are sweeping across the nations in the hearts of those who once
called themselves Christians. Leaving churches, quitting daily reading of the
Word and dismissing the need to maintain a prayer life are causing once strong
believers to betray, abandon and even hate the ones they had walked with in
harmony in years gone by. Is this another sign of the end? Yes it is.
As the heat has been turned up, the frog in the slowly increased
temperature of the water has become unaware of his true surroundings. As such, an
ongoing lack of discernment and a displaced knowledge of foundational truths
have left many behind, when the time to stand strong is needed all the more, at
the most vital time in all history.
“…and many people’s love will grow cold because of increased
distance from Torah.” (Matt. 24:12 CJB). As pastors, rabbis and spiritual
leaders increasingly exchange the eternal truth found in the Scriptures for the
lies of the current age, standards have fallen to their lowest levels. Nothing
remains black and white, as replacement theology and the belief that anything and
everything is OK has blinded the eyes that once had seen the light.
Biblical marriage (one man and one woman), love for our unborn
children, a firm grasp of solid commitment to the Lord’s principles, and maintaining
a strong support for Israel and the Jewish right to the Promised Land – these have
all fallen by the wayside as the deceptive spiritual cloud slowly blankets the people.
Many false prophets have appeared and fooled the people – even beginning in the
church, as liberal, unholy doctrines and Chrislam, among other lies, have taken
root.
“But the one who endures to the end, he will be
saved. This gospel of the kingdom shall
be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the
end will come.” (Matt. 24:13-14 NASU)
We who know the Truth, who have called upon the Name of the Lord
Jesus, Yeshua HaMashiach, must endure to the end. By the grace available to us
through His blood and Resurrected Life, we can be among those who do stand
until the end, proclaiming the truth of the Good News and bringing a testimony to
all the nations. As the dark gets darker, surely the light will shine brighter
in these days that we live in.
We must not let our hearts grow cold. These times are not for
the faint of heart, but for the warriors who have been given life to share His
love in the dying world.
