“A Warning Rejected”

Faithfulness to Christ above love for the world

Many churches closed their doors to the message of Christ’s soon coming. The chapter uses the Bible picture of a bride who forgets her husband. Notice what the author identifies as the cause, and what Scripture says about first love.

Holy Scripture

KJV
Revelation 14:8
8

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

2 Corinthians 11:2
2

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

1 John 2:15
15

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
