Most often, the terms are used to indicate the ability or inability to understand that a catastrophe is approaching.

As we continue today, April 4, 2021 let's continue to really get a grasp on what is best, from God's point.  Further, let's see how 'there is nothing new under the sun, all that has been will be, and all that will be - has already been. [Ecclesiastes 1:9] audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Continuing from March 18, 28, 2021, therefore: What does falling away mean in the Bible? 

This section of Scripture is in direct reference to 'the rapture'. The original word from which “falling away” comes from, is “apostasia.” According to Strong's, it means: a defection from truth, apostasy, falling away, forsake. So this “falling away,” is a forsaking and deflection from truth'.  ​So then, the question really is - 'What does it mean to FALL AWAY from God?'

Among other words and phrases, fall away is also used to denote apostasy in the Bible. If something falls away, literally, it breaks off from the thing it was attached to and falls on the ground. The Bible gives us an imagery of fall away or falling away or falleth away as used in the Bible:
  
'For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:'  1 Peter 1:24.audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

The phrase fall away is used to express apostasy only in the New Testament. Fall away creates an imagery which suggests that a part, usually small, breaks off from the whole and falls on the ground; just like how a flower, which was initially part of a plant, breaks off and falls on the ground. To fall away from something, you have to, first, be part of it. The phrase is ideal to describe apostasy in Christianity due to the relationship between Jesus and his followers. [See John 15, the Vine and the branches'.]audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

Of all the religions in the world, Christianity is the only religion in which their God identifies His followers as part of Him – all Christians are members of Jesus’ body. When Christians fellowship together, they form a church. Now Paul wrote to the church in Corinth saying, audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular (1 Corinthians 12:27).”

Every believer is part of the body of Christ. The body of Christ is a big body, comprising of Jesus Himself and all His followers. When a Christian leaves the body of Christ, it is like a flower falling from the tree to its death. That is why the phrase fall away becomes appropriate to describe a situation where a Christian, who is a member of the body, quits Christianity. Instances where fall away or falling away is used to denote apostasy is as follows: Bible verses about falling away from God, include:

'They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.' Luke 8:13 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

'4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.' Hebrews 6:4 – 6 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

'3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;' 2 Thessalonians 2:3 audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

But be forewarned and on notice, as I say this again - the 'charlatans' who entered into the 'Congregations' - 'teaching and preaching' 'other gospels' [prosperity 'gospel'; 'social gospel'; and other 'errors' more from the 'wishful thinking of men' than the Holy Bible], went a long way to aid and abet this 'falling away' over the last 70 years or more.   These were 'false teachers', 'men and women' - 'of the world'; 'worldly'; 'apostates' or 'unbelievers - wolves in sheep's clothing'. audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html
[Matthew 7:15; 10:16; but consider the 'Good Shepherd', Psalm 23; John Chapter 10] 

But, because 'the knowledge of the Bible', from the 'study of the Written Word' in a daily and systematic manner' was 'caste aside' for instead having those chosen for 'pleasing the itchy ears', [2 Timothy 4:3], the deception unto death has occurred.  That was from the 'religious circles'.  HOWEVER!
audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

As you are able to see what has occurred in just a few short weeks since January 20, 2021, in a few more short weeks, there will be no resemblance to - anything of a 'constitutional nature' of - 'the United States of America'.  You can take this truth to the bank.  It is not going to take - 'months'.  Satan is on a 'roll', for he knows that his time is short. [Revelation 12:12] Amen. Amen. audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html  

Additionally, 'courts' had their 'sway', issuing 'decisions' in lawsuits with regard to changing 'norms' based on 'biblical morality' vs 'human immorality'.  Such occurred with continuing to 'over-rule' numerous laws which had previously said 'sodomy' was 'criminal', to saying that it was not.  This of course was the 'slippery steps' down the 'slippery slope' that would eventually lead to the 'legalization' in June, 2015 under Obama with the Supreme Court ruling that 'same sex marriage was 'lawful' and from that point on all federal agencies, institutions, companies, etc. were to so handle their affairs with regard to benefits, etc. for couples of 'same-sex marriages' as if they were opposite sex marriages. To do otherwise would be considered a breach of 'a civil right', and subject people, organizations, and others to legal ramifications, either/both, civilly and/or criminally. 

The battle has continued with respect to 'religious establishments' who are showing to include such or to service such 'relations' is in violation of their 'conscience' and 'morals'.  The same is true of 'Catholics' who are resisting 'paying for anything to do with 'abortion', as they rightly in accordance with Holy Bible, see that such actions are involving them in murder, or the taking of innocent life - against God's word. 

So you see, in the United States of America - the Good Lord has been able to bring and has brought all to the point of 'decisive' 'decision' on November 3, 2020 - either for 'morality' based upon the principles found in the Holy Bible, or, not, as the Democratic Convention is from their 'platform' - 'make no mention of God'.  They have and continue to turn their back on God, notwithstanding all the hopla about 'Biden' being an 'active Catholic' who attends church regularly.'  So, what????

The devil attends church regularly too.   The question is - what does Jesus say - Does He know Biden because He is his Savior????  That my friends is where the shoe hits the metal.  That my friends is where the ultimate decision will be made.  And, we shall know them by their fruits in this life - whether they are of God, or, of their father, the devil. [Matthew 7:16]  'Thou shall not lie', Exodus 20:16; 'thou shall not steal', Exodus 20:15-17'; thou shall not swear falsely, Leviticus 19:12; nor take the Lord thy God's Name in vain, He will not hold you harmless.' Exodus 20:7.  Amen. Amen. audio-bible.com/bible/bible.html

On this Resurrection Sunday, April 4, 2021, together with the end of Passover, 2021, let us ponder where we are - each - as an individual human being. 

​Then, as the Lord wills, we shall continue on our next post and consider the difference in the traits and characteristics of 'God's Children - vs. - Satan's Children.  Oh, there are discerning 'characteristics'.  We, each of us must be 'discerning', knowing at all times who we are 'representing'; who is therefore, our 'true' 'father of fathers' - God or Satan.  Amen. Amen.​
