In 1910 some 66% of the world's Christians lived in Europe. Now that number has fallen to about 25%. Today in America, 76% of the population call themselves Christians, compared with 86% in 1990. The Dallas Morning News reports: “The Christian share of adults in the U.S. has declined sharply since 2007, affecting nearly all major Christian traditions and denominations, and crossing age, race and region, according to an extensive survey by the Pew Research Center. About 71 percent of American adults were Christian in 2014, the lowest estimate from any sizable survey to date, and a decline of 5 million adults and 8 percentage points since a similar Pew survey in 2007.”
We are living through the biggest religious transition since the Reformation of the 16th Century. Nation after nation, falling away, becoming more and more secular, greedy, amoral and disobedient to the teachings of The Word. The Church of England, the RCC, America’ false religions, how easily they will slide into the clutches of the final antichrist. Even now the antichrist spirit rules and reigns in the hearts and minds of millions of professing ‘Christians.’
“Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
John 17:11-21
