I see it as meaning that we are in HUGE TROUBLE, because so many are preaching of the world and not of God, and the rest of us are allowing it to happen.
We have a responsibility to ensure that we are sharing God's Word and not the word of man. We must quit setting back, doing nothing while the Word is
ripped apart.

We need to take a look at Revelation 22:18,19! Do not add to, nor take away to God's Word.

It means 95% od alledged Christianity today should be accursed. Any thing other than Christ crucified and raised from the dead to pay the penality for ous sin is another gospel. Jesus said will the Son of man find faith when hwe returns? He will find a small remnant of true believers when he returns in this age of apostate preachers and teachers spweinf myths lies and deceptive doctrine of the faith and prosperity movement. Just my 5 cents worth adjusted for inflation.

Galatians 1:6-12

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Here is my take on this.
In these verses we see that the Gospels of the Bible are revelations by Jesus Himself and God warns us to beware of a different gospel message. Paul received it not from man but from the revelation of Jesus Christ Himself.

There are no verses anywhere in the Bible that state there will be additional written revelations after the book of Revelation.

Over the years and especially today additional extra-Biblical revelations are misleading people away from the central truths of the Bible's Gospel message of salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. In addition to the Galatians verse above, these other Bible verses are examples of warnings about false doctrines that originate from extra-Biblical revelations and false prophets:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1 Timothy 4:1

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Matthew 24:24

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:13-14

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2Peter 2:1

This is an important point because books like the Book of Mormons and other books aside from the bible claim to have additional revelations. They also claim to have originated from spirits claiming to be from Heaven. Not a single book of the Bible was authored by an angel or from a human that was being inspired to write what he did by an angel. God Himself, the Holy Spirit directly inspired all of the human authors of the Bible or they got the information first-hand from Jesus Himself.


There is Proof that the Human authors of the Bible were inspired by God


15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.2 Timothy 3:15-18

It is interesting that one of the most common reasons for trying to deny the authority of the Bible is actually one of the strongest reasons for proving it’s divine inspiration and authenticity.
How many times have you heard that the Bible can’t be trusted because it was written by mere men? It’s a common straw man argument that many atheists, agnostics and cults use to try to deny it’s authority and accuracy. But when considering the following facts, it's God-inspired human authorship is actually a strength, not a weakness:

Here are other scriptures that tells us not to add to or delete biblical revelations.

Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Matthew Henry commentary on this verse:

Deuteronomy 12:32
What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.


The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:1-3

Revelation ends with these verses:
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19

We must equip ourselves with important Biblical truths and knowledge first, and the false doctrines of demons and false gospels will be far easier to spot.

I believe this says it all!

When I saw things from a carnal perspective, I thought carnally, and my flesh reasoned with the weeds and briars..... (my quote)
When I received Jesus, and started desiring His Kingdom, and what it means to be Born Again, I no longer trusted my carnal mind, and found Life and Living Waters in His Word.
In Him we have our being. My soul cries out for those who are spiritually blind while they teach from the Bible, causing divisions and new doctrines of devils. My soul also cries, "Abba Father!"
in praise and thanksgiving, knowing that we belong to Him. For me, the Revelation of Jesus Christ became reality when I heard His voice when I was going through a knot-hole backwards...
my faith was being tested, yet I longed to know for sure who He IS. He made real to me "Draw near to me, and I will draw near to you" when He said to me audibly, "Don't be afraid. I am Jesus.
Believe in me." I have never been the same since, and I stay close to Him because I never want to lose sight of His footsteps, and lose His fellowship.
