This short blurb is from my current manuscript about The Invisible Church coming out in October. It addresses many questions and the Church falling is one of them.
Paul wrote to the Christians in the church at Ephesus:
Now therefore you are
no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of
the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the
building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord. (Ephes 2:19-20)
First examine the “therefore” before now: “Through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father” (Ephes 1:18). “Him” is Jesus. The Living Water of the Spirit is the “mortar” that holds all the “lively stones” in place. So long as the Church is there, then God is evident. When the “bricks” come falling down (Isa 9:10), then look for signs of trouble. Bricks are now falling down as the number of people who deny God are blown away by the Prince of the Power of the Air.
I believe that the pandemic of
2019-2024 helped that along. Satan gained much power and soon the churches were
closed for our “protection” disregarding the Holy Ghost. With that one man-made
disease came destruction and the bricks of the Church came falling down just as
Isaiah foresaw.
Governors and even the president
demanded that churches be closed, and now Sunday night services have been shut
down. People trusted the rulers of darkness over God.
In my own church building, even the
bricks fell down… perhaps as a sign. My own Church is now closed on Sunday
evenings, whereas before they were always traditional! What does it take for
Christians to see that the Church is falling down one brick at a time as living
souls squander their time on the Lord’s Day?
The Lord’s Day has become their
day; at least most of it!
