Exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Heb. 10:25
In 2017, the Holy Spirit said to me the following word and by this word God opened my eyes to see what is going on in the churches today ... as they remove various scriptures and allow sin into the church itself.
The Holy Spirit said ... "restraint'
You will find this in II Thess. 2 ... NASB
Let no one in any way deceive you, for it (the day of the LORD) will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.
Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?
And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way. Then that lawless one will be revealed

The "restraint" that held antichrist back from the churches was the scripture which the churches have been removing.
With the various scriptures removed, even a small portion of scripture removed, the restraint against antichrist was removed letting the apostasy into today's churches.
We are seeing this happen in the churches today.
(Antichrist is not one man but a spirit that enters man as scripture is removed... as the devil is a spirit in many men, antichrist is a spirit in many men.)
Paul said Jesus could not return "unless" the apostasy (KJV-"falling away" ... from scripture) happened first. That has happened and is happening.
In 1979, God gave me the following terrifying dream showing what was happening even then in the church groups. (It is much worse now.)
In this dream,
Destruction was everywhere.
I went into a meeting room where a meeting was going on. A man was speaking to a room filled with people. I went in and began to listen.
A second man rushed in and said: "Stop ... Wait ... Can't you see ... It's too late ... It's already begun."
The first man resumed speaking.

I looked out the window to see what had "already begun."
There was a tall pole with a yellow civil defense speaker at top of the pole. A gas was coming out of the speaker. I knew it was poisonous and would kill the people. It was coming directly toward us!
The shocking thing was the speaker that was set there for the purpose of warning us was being used as the instrument which dispersed the gas that was poison and would kill us!
I looked at the man seated next to me. He had a big grin on his face and was looking directly at the man who was speaking to the group. But then I saw this man was a corpse, though he looked alive. He was already dead!
I looked about the room at the other people and realized they were all dead.
As I sat back in my chair and listened to the man speaking I began to feel sleepy and I knew as I sat there among them this was killing me too.
God was showing me the anarchy in the church groups, at the time of the dream, 1979. The destruction in the churches was everywhere, even at that time. And it is much worse today.

These Exhortations for the Church help us to focus on the Word of God as the churches continue to remove scriptures and grow worse and worse. Paul told us to expect this in the last days. II Tim. 3
