Part 3 - Prophecies to Gentiles,

                              Gentile nations



                 Baseline Prophecies – Religion vs “The Church”
            [I Tim. 4:1-5] Widespread Apostasy in churches leads to:
                                        [8]
            - The Great Falling Away   [II Thess. 2:3]
            - A One-World “Harlot” religion [Rev. 13:11-18, Rev. 17]
            - Christians hated for CHRIST’s namesake [Mat. 5:11-12]
            - Christian persecutions [John 15:20-21]
            - The removal of the “Restrainer” [II Thess. 2:7]

            The “Great Falling Away” leads to a One-World Religion
            There  is  ample  evidence  that  the  tipping  point  for

            America’s  transition  into  apostasy  occurred  in  1954
            when  congress  passed  the  so  called  “Johnson
            Amendment” with its 501(c)(3) provision.  That provision
            forbids  charitable  organizations  and  churches  from
            endorsing or advocating for political candidates. Its lure
            of  affirming  the  tax-exempt  status  for  churches  had
            always been implied in the US tax code.   Soon after it

            became  law,  the  deceptive  battle  cry  of  secular
            progressives became “Separation of Church and State.”
            Since its passage, this law has increasingly become the
            mechanism  that  atheist  and  secular  progressives  have
            used  to  suppress  political  advocacy  and  discourse  in
            churches.


            In recent years, secular progressives have attempted to
            use  this  law  to  inhibit  churches  from  teaching  strict
            Biblical  Word  regarding  the  sanctity  of  life,  marriage,
            sexuality  and  gender.    Such  uses  of  the  501(c)(3)  tax
