Comments by Joan Boney:
The apostasy has come into the church groups all over this world as they remove portions of scripture from the Holy Bible and replace those doctrines with their own personal preferences.
The end time apostasy comes into the church groups as they set up denominations by their own will while falling away from the doctrines of Christ of the NT Bible.
II Thessalonians 2:3-4 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;
(In 1982, God said to me: The falling away are not people leaving the church. The falling away are the church groups leaving the scriptures. When they do this, antichrist moves into the churches and sets up his own doctrines.)
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

6-7 NASB 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only HE who now restrains will do so until HE is removed.
(2017 God brought the word "restrains" to my mind. I found that word in II Thessalonians 2:6 NASB.)
(2017 God brought the word "restrains" to my mind. I found that word in II Thessalonians 2:6 NASB.)
After I read the above scripture in NASB, I asked God: "What restrains antichrist?"
Instantly I knew the scriptures, Jesus, The Word, restrained antichrist from coming into the churches. But when the churches removed portions of the Word, antichrist moved into the churches.
For example: Jesus said: Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
"The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
The churches "fell away" from such scriptures and set up opposite doctrines in the church. This allowed antichrist to come into the church group and reign over that group.
And they removed many other doctrines of Christ, as in the allowing of the divorced woman to remarry.
Romans 7:3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress:
To change doctrines of Christ this way is antichrist in the churches.

* Jesus will destroy the apostate churches when HE returns to gather HIS elect.
II Thessalonians 2:10-12 (KJV) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

When Jesus returns HE will raise the dead in Christ who are in HIM and Jesus will gather the elect of God and they will all meet Jesus in the air and be taken to the new heaven and new earth which is prepared for them by God, the new Jerusalem.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede/ go ahead of) them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Matthew 24:31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
I Corinthians 15:49-51 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,
(changed into new spiritual bodies)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
(Blink ... we will be changed that fast from these current physical bodies into the new spiritual body... And we will be taken to the new heaven and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.)
Revelation 21:1-5 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.

* God will destroy this present heaven and earth and judge men of this world righteously
with HIS judgment.
2 Peter 3:10-14
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.
We, the elect of God, must keep ourselves in peace, without spot, and blameless while we wait for the return of Jesus.
* The apostate church will be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns.
* The World will be destroyed by God by fire.
* The elect of God will be raised to meet Jesus in the air and we will be taken to the new heaven and the new earth wherein dwelleth only righteousness.
Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed are they that do HIS commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

The elect of God ... those born of the Spirit of God ... The chosen of God ... For God chooses the elect as HE wills and whom HE wills HE hardens.
When we are born again by God, we are instantly changed by God into new creatures. We are very different from that person we once were.
It is not that we learn to be of God. We are of God, for God causes the Spirit of God to live in us after we are born again.
Jesus is coming to gather HIS elect from off this present earth.
Matthew 24:31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Make no mistake: The apostate church will not be gathered into heaven with the elect of God. The apostate church will be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns to gather HIS elect.
II Thessalonians 2:8 (KJV) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
(NASB) 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
***
John 3:3 Jesus says: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
