The Great Apostasy, Israel, and the Beast System

By Nana Creamer

The Apostle Paul warned, “Let no man deceive you… that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first” (2 Thessalonians 2:3). We are living in that very season. The great apostasy is not a theory—it is unfolding before our eyes, and current events prove it.

A Generation Without God

When prayer and the Bible were pushed out of schools, a generation grew up without God’s Word as their foundation. Judges 2:10 reminds us, “And there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD…” That vacuum created the soil for unbelief. Today we are watching the fruit of that decision: cultural decline, moral confusion, and hostility toward truth.

Charlie Kirk’s Letter to Netanyahu

Recently, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, lamenting the decline of support for Israel—especially among young people on campuses and social media. He warned that Israel is losing the “information war,” with anti-Israel narratives spreading unchecked online. He wasn’t preaching prophecy, but he was discerning the trajectory. Like the prophets of old, he saw where things were headed.

Israel in Prophecy

Israel has always been central in God’s plan. Genesis 12:3 declares that God will bless those who bless Israel, and Zechariah 12:2–3 speaks of a day when Jerusalem will be “a cup of trembling” to all nations. The growing hostility toward Israel is not just politics—it’s a prophetic marker. Charlie’s concern for Israel’s fading support is exactly what scripture told us would happen in the last days.

The Beast System and Narrative Control

The beast system described in Revelation doesn’t rise only by force—it rises through deception, propaganda, and control of what people believe. Kirk’s focus on “information warfare” exposes how the groundwork is already being laid. Social media giants and global powers are shaping the narrative, silencing truth, and training entire generations to reject God’s people and God’s Word.

Unbelief and Apostasy

The apostle Paul said people would “not endure sound doctrine” but chase after fables (2 Timothy 4:3–4). We see that now: whole denominations abandoning biblical truth, youth leaving the church in droves, and public institutions teaching humanism instead of faith. This is the great apostasy in motion—the falling away that clears the stage for the man of lawlessness.

A Call to the Faithful

But we are not left without hope. Jesus asked in Luke 18:8, “When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” That question is for us. Will we remain faithful in a world of compromise? Will we pass down truth to our children when the system demands silence?

Charlie Kirk’s letter may have been political, but for the discerning, it was also prophetic. It showed us the symptom—Israel’s declining support—but the Bible shows us the disease: unbelief and apostasy. The beast system thrives when nations turn from God, but God’s remnant will never be silenced. The Kingdom of Christ will outlast every beastly empire.

Stay faithful, stand with Israel, and hold fast to the Word. The times are dark, but our hope is eternal.
