I took the time out to make this Power Point chart; I am NOT savvy at all when it comes to doing such projects, but I have had to use PP in quite a few of my presentations along the way in my college and seminary years.
I am a visual learner, so I thought it would be best to throw something together that will tell the story and hopefully have it leave a good enough impression on your hearts, that you will take this to prayer and keep these groups of human beings in your mind, praying for their salvation.
I shared this post last month on my social media pages; I seriously thought it would get quite a bit of attention and feedback from people; it was mostly ignored, like the majority of my posts are. I was shocked; I can’t imagine these factual numbers don’t upset anyone, especially those who consider themselves Christians! But, at least I did the work I was called to do, and put the research results out there. I decided to also post it here on my blog page. Let’s get into the details of the chart.
NOW–I am not going to pretend to think that just because there seems to be “2.4 billion” listed for Christianity, that all those church affiliations that reported, are actually teaching biblical Christianity. We all know that they are NOT. There are many out there that call themselves “Christian” churches and do NOT preach from the Word of God, or just pick and choose what they like, and discard the rest.
The same goes for Judaism; not every Jewish person actually believes in the Torah/Tanakh. There are quite a few that are secular Jews, and thankfully, there are a growing number of Jewish people that ARE finding out that Yeshua/Jesus IS their Messiah, and have come to accept Him into their lives, making them as they call themselves, “complete Jews”.
Unfortunately, there is a growing number of pagan cults in the world; a few examples would be WICCA and any other form of witchcraft, satanism, groups that TO THIS DAY, that still worship Greek/Roman/Egyptian gods, etc.
Then there are surprisingly almost 2 BILLION people in this world (almost 1/4 of the world’s population) that have NO FAITH whatsoever–they are either agnostic, atheistic, or the like.
The BIG NUMBERS of cultic groups come from Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mormonism, and Jehovah’s Witnesses. When you add all their numbers up, it’s frightening to think how many souls are headed to the Lake 🔥of Fire at the Time of the Lord Jesus’ Judgment (see Revelation 20:10-15; 21:8).
I’ve been up quite a few nights thinking about this as I see more and more issues with the followers of Islam getting very bold, and acting out more and more against the Christians as they preach on a corner, share the Gospel with someone, prevent them from even having planned events/outreaches because of the so-called “peaceful protests” that end up sometimes turning violent.
My heart breaks for these human beings, because their SOULS are on the line! They have been lied to by the devil himself, believing in ( or not believing at all) some form of what the world calls a “religion” but most are CULTS; what defines a group AS a cult, is straight from the BIBLE.
Here is 1 John 4:1-3, where the Apostle and Gospel/Revelation writer John tells us how to TEST the spirits, to know whether or not a person/group is actually a true believer of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word:
1Jo 4:1 ESV – Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1Jo 4:2 ESV – By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,
1Jo 4:3 ESV – and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
It’s very simple. Either that group believes in ALL of God’s Word, not picking it apart, NOT adding or deleting from it (see Deuteronomy 4:2; Revelation 22:18-19), OR—they are found to be FALSE.
As I am literally writing this out, the Holy Spirit said to add this passage as well from Proverbs 30:4-6:
Pro 30:4 ESV – Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know!
Pro 30:5 ESV – Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.
Pro 30:6 ESV – Do not add to his words, lest he rebuke you and you be found a LIAR.
TO THAT, I am adding separately (even though it is already mentioned above) REVELATION 21:8–PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!!:
Rev 21:8 ESV – But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, AND ALL LIARS, their portion will be in the LAKE that burns with 🔥FIRE and sulfur, WHICH IS THE SECOND DEATH.”
Beloved, I CANNOT stress this more than I already have, several times before, especially in these last few years–GOD’S WORD–ALL OF IT–WILL COME TO PASS.
He does NOT want any person, who is worshipping false demonic gods like “Allah”, “Ba’al”, “Ra”, “Shiva”, “Kali”, “Athena”, “Ishtar/Innana”, etc. to have to be deceived any longer!! He wants them to “COME OUT OF HER” (the false cults/religions) and believe and trust in the ONE TRUE MOST HIGH GOD and HIS SON.
If the LORD Himself and servants like myself who are called to share these messages of information and warning, DIDN’T care what happens to these human beings, WHY would He instruct people like myself to continually WARN you of the WRATH that is to come?? He knows that the devil has deceived so many souls into believing anyone and anything else OTHER THAN Him. Even if a person doesn’t want to believe in anything (atheist), Satan is fine with that as well, because THAT person ALSO will be heading to that horrific Lake of Fire when the Time of Judgment comes.
I share this out of concern and LOVE for every person who is mixed up in one of these cults/religions that DO NOT worship the LORD God, nor lead them to the ONE and ONLY Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. IT IS ONLY HE who gave up His life for every human being to have an opportunity to ACCEPT Him as their Lord and Savior, and have that intimate Holy Spirit relationship with them, that will eventually lead them to an eternal Home with Him, the Father, and all those brothers and sisters in the Lord who have gone before us.
Speaking the TRUTH in LOVE seems to be getting much harder to do, because of Jesus’ words coming to pass about how many people in the last days will be OFFENDED by Him AND His WORDS!!
CHRISTIAN–do your due diligence, and before you go to bed each and every night, and as you wake up in the morning (and maybe even once during the day), PLEASE pray for all those that YOU know personally, and for everyone else in the world that as you can see from this simple chart (and you can find many more online; I just decided to my one for myself) that they DO NOT KNOW CHRIST–therefore, they WILL END UP hearing those awful words, (Mat 7:23 ESV)- “And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'”
PRAY for the LOST. HATE the evil that comes from WITHIN them, because they ARE full of demonic spirits for sure, who are doing all they can from keeping those precious human souls from HEARING the TRUTH of God’s Word, and ACCEPTING Jesus Christ into their lives.
STAND UP for your FAITH, and FIGHT THE EVIL that comes from those wicked demonic cults. BUT—DO NOT HATE THE PERSON. HATE THE DEVIL and his angels, and ALL the demonic entities that are keeping them spiritually BOUND!!! PRAY, beloved, PRAY!!!
I seriously feel with all my soul, that we do not have much time left before the LORD God the Father allows the JUDGMENTS that are written, especially in Revelation 6 through 18, to begin happening. The AntiChrist (son of perdition -2 Thess. 2) will SOON be on the world’s stage.
EVERYTHING you see happening around you, is setting up for that.
OH–and one more thing–ISAIAH 17 (the complete destruction of Damascus, Syria) and EZEKIEL 38-39 (several Islamic nations that come against the nation of Israel) STILL have to come to pass, amongst several other prophetic passages yet to be fulfilled. But these that I mention here are two of the major ones that we may just see happen in our LIFETIME.
READ your Bible, ASK questions (I’m always available!), PRAY, do your RESEARCH, encourage each other in the Word, praise and worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. May the Lord Jesus be with you all, and may He strengthen and embolden you to carry out His Will before the End of Days begins. 🙏❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️
