What would you do?

Question

if you knew the Apostasy is to come out of the true religion? You see, it has always been someone who was close to God's organization who turned apostate (Numbers 16; Psalms 41:9; Matthew 26:14, 15). And now we are expecting another apostasy (2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4). And, if you compare verse 4 to Daniel 11:36 and verse 3 to Daniel 11:32, you would see that this is the final king of the north. So, what say you, what would you do if you knew this was coming out of God's organization?

Let it happen as part of God's divine plan.  The truth will be revealed.

The King of the North coming from apostasy?  That does not fit the history written in advance by Daniel 11.

No god would confuse people with a bunch of different religions and then give the job to a small percentage of men to go around the world and enlighten people with the same sales skills every fake religion has.  Why would any god resort to such a sloppy way of spreading faith?  It would be much more logical for him to just speak to each person himself-not through per chance encounters with the "right people".

I'd do what I do every time I'm confused by some psycho on my porch; I pull out the gun and wave it around. Usually whatever is confusing me goes away.

All prophecy is a done deal for a very long time now.

The biblical prophesied apostasy was the Roman assembly. Consider the word "vatican" (Latin mons vaticanus). "Vatic" means "of or pertaining to prophecy. Oracular."

And "mons" refers to a hill or small mountain as in Vatican Hill.

Now for the prophecy:

Isa 14:12 ¶ How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Isa 14:13   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

Isa 14:14   I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High

Rome is to the "sides of the north" in relation to Israel - north and west

It's pretty safe to say that what you consider to be "the true religion" was considered to be apostasy or a cult for much of its history, not to mention that if the early Christians were to look at what you consider to be "the true religion", they would consider it to be apostasy or really incorrect.

The "final king of the north" could also be seen to refer to Hitler.  In youth he was a devout Catholic and even an altar boy.

Sometimes it is God's plan and you cant stop it. I had to move from my old church because it was so anti-Christian
