Has the Bible prophesied that all recognized churches will
apostatize before the Second Coming of Christ?
Yes, Isaiah 4:1 depicts the
condition of the all recognized churches today: "and
in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own
bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take
away our reproach." This prophecy tells us that at the end of time
"seven" (7 symbolically means "all", "totality",
"complete", i.e. 7 days of creation, 7 last plagues, 7 years of
famine, etc.) or ALL, "women" (or churches - churches are
often symbolized as women in the Bible, i.e. Rev.12:1 vs. Rev. 17:3, etc) shall
take hold of one man (they will claim to have a relationship with Jesus -
which ALL the churches profess today) saying, We will eat our own bread
( They reject the true Bread of life - Jesus and His teachings, see John 6:51,
and prefer rather to "eat" their own false doctrines and traditions -
see Isaiah 8:20), and wear our own apparel (they also reject the pure,
white robe of Christ's righteousness and prefer their own system of works and
self-righteousness - see Isaiah 61:10; Rev. 3:4, 5, 18) but they say: only
let us be called by Thy name (despite of their rebellion, they want to be
recognized, why?) to take away our reproach. They don't want their shame
and disgrace to be seen due to the fact that they are teaching falsehood and
are not part of Christ's church, but in reality they are one of the shameful,
harlot daughters of
Since, today all the churches are feeding their members a mixture of truth and error which removes God from their midst, He has commanded us that whenever truth is mixed with error to “come out of her my people” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).
