Are we in the middle of a great falling away from the values associated with family and church. What at one time was in the closet or way in the dark is coming up front and center in these days. What is the source of this boldness? As marriage of men with men and women with women are now approved in some states, is this just the beginning of a new trend? Or is this the last days and our world is looking at the last generation?

Yes we are in the last days!
Oprah cannot be ignored. Marcia Z. Nelson’s new book is intended as a celebration of Oprah’s significance as a harbinger of a new gospel. In the end, the importance of this book is grounded in the fact that it draws attention to Oprah’s influence and cultural impact. Oprah’s newly-packaged positive-thinking spirituality is tailor-made for the empty souls of our postmodern age. She promises meaning without truth, acceptance without judgment, and fulfillment without self-denial. Marcia Z. Nelson is certainly right about one thing–Oprah Winfrey’s “congregation” cannot be ignored.

The great falling away
People think any revival is not coming. They refer to
2 Thess. 2:3 and tell about that a great falling away shall
come. But this falling away has taken place a very long time
ago. The entire Christendom was lead astray by false
shepherds and preachers, which preached false doctrines.
Since then, God’s people have been slaves under many
churches and denominations. And the great falling away is
still today continuing. The great falling away is NOW!
Waiting for the great falling away is not needed. It began a
very long time ago. The topical are now the restoration of the
Assembly of God from the great falling away. Acts 3:21.
Revival is just this, all God’s people must be released from
the great Babylon.
In the time of the apostles any church did not exist, and therefore
the word “church” occurs not at all in the Bible. Everywhere in
your English Bible where you see the word “church”, it is a
translation error, it ought to be “assembly”. Jesus did not build
any church.
I have five Bible translations in Swedish, (the oldest from 1703,
translated from the same original bible text as KJV). Nowhere in
these Bibles we can find the word “church” (kyrka). Nowhere in
the Bible we can find any hint of that the Assembly of God is
constituted of church systems and many religious organizations.
It is at least two Bible translations in English without the word
‘church’, (WEB) and (KJ3). Perhaps there are more such
translations, I do not know.
The Assembly of God is no Pentecostal church. Please, consider
what this expression “the Assembly of God” in the reality implies.
The Assembly of God must be the same as the Greek word
“ekklesia”, and the Body of Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12-31.
Then it is easy to understand that this has nothing to do with the
Pentecostal Movement. Pentecostal churches have existed about
100 years, but the Assembly of God has existed ever since Jesus
baptized his first disciples by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit
gave them the new life in Christ so that they became born anew.
Then the Assembly of God was born. Since then, the Assembly
of God has lived here on the earth generation after generation.
The establishment of the first church took place in connection with
the great falling away. 2 Thess. 2:3. Since then, God’s people have
lived in slavery under Satan’s false doctrine about the Assembly of
God. We cannot use the word ‘church’ when we mean the Assembly
of God. Still to day, most Christians cannot see the difference between
the Assembly of God and the Church of Satan.
All churches have come into existence through religious fornication.
People have mixed God’s word with false doctrines of evil spirits,
and so new churches appear.
In the free churches the world around
there are thousands of preachers
and bible teachers, but none can explain
what the Assembly of God is

The condition of the Assembly of God
is now much worse than in the assemblies
in Ephesus, Sardis and Laodicea
