"...for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires." Romans 13:11-14 NLT

"...you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires." Romans 13:11-14 ESV

"Do you know the time? Can you discern the lateness of the hour or do you remain wrapped in the grave clothes of compromise, condemnation. sexual sin or selfishness; intoxicated with the things of the world, satisfied and content?  Things are not as they appear. The lateness of the hour demands you take a long hard look at what you have become, what you have allowed, what you continue to allow, to come between you and YHWH Yireh/JEHOVAH Jireh.  (with God, to see is also to foresee. As the One who possesses eternal wisdom and knowledge, He knows the end from the beginning. . . . From eternity to eternity He foresees everything. . . . Thus with God foreseeing is prevision. As the Jehovah of righteousness and holiness, and of love and redemption, having prevision of man's sin, and fall, and need, He makes provision for that need. For provision, after all, is merely a compound of two Latin words meaning "to see beforehand". And we may learn from a dictionary that "provide" is simply the verb and "prevision" the noun of seeing beforehand. Thus to God prevision is necessarily followed by provision, for He certainly will provide for that need which His foreseeing shows Him to exist. With Him prevision and provision are one and the same thing."  Thus, "YHWH Sees" becomes "YHWH Provides" or "YHWH Will Provide." The Name and Attributes of God).

The LORD would say:  "You, the body of Messiah, have abandoned your watch. You have fallen asleep and now enemies of Truth have come in. Posing as children of light they have stolen from you what was once so very precious....faith, hope, courage, peace. You have exchanged faith for flash, hope for hype, courage for compromise and peace for apathy. Calculating con men have taken hold of the church, turning it away from The Truth. As they preach another gospel men, women, boys, girls are pulled further and further away from a gospel of faith, hope and love into a gospel of foolishness, hopelessness and lies.  What you know to do you must do quickly. The lateness of the hour demands you examine your church, your pastor and yourself."

"For from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is greedy for gain, And from the prophet even to the priest Everyone deals falsely. "They have healed the brokenness of My people superficially, Saying, 'Peace, peace,' But there is no peace. "Were they ashamed because of the abomination they have done? They were not even ashamed at all; They did not even know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; At the time that I punish them, They shall be cast down," says the LORD." Jeremiah 6:13-15

"He who hates disguises it with his lips, But he lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, For there are seven abominations in his heart. Though his hatred covers itself with guile, His wickedness will be revealed before the assembly. He who digs a pit will fall into it, And he who rolls a stone, it will come back on him. A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin." Proverbs 26:24-28

"But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron..." 1 Timothy 4:1-2
