Eschatology

The decline in Southern Baptist Convention membership has been discussed on several blogs and on Baptist Press. There have been many conjectures regarding the decline, however; I have not seen this view expressed: Could it be that this decline in membership that has not only affected the SBC but many other churches as well is a part of the great "falling away" before the "Day of the Lord" (from 2 Thess. 2:3). I don't know about any one else but I can feel something in my bones concerning these days in which we are living...

Something prophetically interesting from C.H. Spurgeon as he was commenting on Ezekial 37 in 1864: "If words mean anything, and if context means anything, it is quite clear that one day there will be a political restoration of the Jews to their land- to be followed by their spiritual restoration!"
