The Next Christendom: The Coming of Global Christianity (Paperback)
by Philip Jenkins "
A false Christianity will arise in the future, as foretold by biblical prophecy. The world at large, both the secular and the deceived religious, are heading for a global unity in government and religion. This global government that will dominate all people, and every aspect of religion, commerce, politics, and every day life, will be ruled by one central powerful leader. The Bible calls this person Anti-Christ. We don't know his name yet, but in due time he will be revealed, when the prophecies foretold of will have come to pass, fulfilling this great event. Christianity is already being forced into this global movement, although most Christians don't realize it. New age religion is slowly creeping into and being taught by the mainstream church ("The Purpose-driven Church" and "The Purpose-driven Life"), both protestant and Catholic. A global mind-set is being embraced, a move that defies the call of scripture and brings deception on many who are unaware or "sleeping." We already have one of the first openly new-age bible versions: the parphrase called The Message. Already many professed Christians cannot see that this book does not align with their traditional Bible which has been translated from original Greek and Hebrew text. They are already falling into the global trap. Christ said for born-again Christians to come out of the world and its contrary teachings and philosophies, and not become united with it. Those who wake up and realize that they are supposed to be rowing against the current, are going to be martyred by those who believe they are actually doing the will of God. If they had been reading what their Bibles tell us will happen in the "last days", then they would know that globalism is not the answer and that they are not supposed to partake in it. Jesus said "the gait is very narrow that leads to eternal life, and very few will find it." Therefore, if Christianity becomes one of the world's largest religions--even to rival Islam--then is it really the true Christianity, the true way that Jesus spoke of? "Broad and smooth is the path, and straight is the gait that leads to destruction..." Christians need to wake up and cast off the global lie, recognize it in scripture, and remember what Jesus said, that this world is not their home. We are sojourners in the land and we are only passing through it...Our home is in heaven, forever with our Savior Jesus Christ.
