Is the apostasy that is present in the church over the last 50 years similiar to the conditions of the state of affairs in Israel when christ came the first time?

Yes, especially when Jesus began to preach in the synagogue as he was hated for what he spoke and and was thrown out, Luke 4:14-30. Even so today as it was back then many still kick Jesus to the curb as His spoken word comes against their doctrines and traditions.
 
The Church has been apostate since the 1st century. Its in scripture. False doctrine had already run loose. Nothings changed, its just been 2000 years of false gospels and adding and taking away.

Now the Church thinks it has the truth just like the Pharisees, and they didnt even recognise the Messiah.

Is God ever going to refuse someone who genuinely asks for his mercy, no way, anyone through Christ can see God's grace.

The flesh corrupts and God is faithful to all who genuinely ask for his mercy and Christ will raise them up.

Blessed are the peacemakers who ask God for mercy and love and pray for others.

It is similar, and more advanced than then I do believe. Geez nowadays even the (so-called) christians are full of unbelief. Wup, don't like that scripture, and that one means I can't go cheat with the neighbor tonight...don't believe that one, spread love everywhere...
Maybe exaggerated a little, but not much. There's so much cognitive dissonance going around that it's discouraging to peoples spirit.

I think people like to think that people were dumber back in the old days. I doubt this is true. At least they were aware of the spiritual realm and Angels and so forth. They KNEW that there is an unseen world. Not nowadays.

Absolutely. And what did God do to the temple and to Jerusalem because the Jews rejected Jesus? So now, Christians are doing the same thing---not with their lips, but with their actions. They push His commandments and teachings away, but claim to love Him and to be serving Him. They compromise and change God's word to suit themselves just like the Jews were doing, which Jesus rebuked them for.

They are just like what the Bible says apostate believers will be like in the last days in 2 Timothy 3. And they call those who point out the apostasy "legalists" and "judgmental".

(Shouldn't Christians who find the perversion of the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints appalling be indignant about the condition of Christianity in the last hour? It's the one's who like it that way (just like the Jews liked their way of doing Judaism better than God's) who have a problem with the saints who love the Lord and are spiritually mature and discerning enough to decry the abomination. It's the Christians who think everything's fine who have the problem, and don't realize it. The Christians of the church at Laodicea didn't realize it either.)

They've made a new Jesus for themselves; they don't need or want the real One anymore; and they don't take kindly to being pointed back to Him. They want a God who serves them, who is made after their own likeness, who doesn't care what they do, and who gives them all of the blessings of His Word with none of their conditions.

God destroyed the temple and city of the Jews for rejecting Jesus. What do you think He's getting ready to do to the Church and the children of heavenly Jerusalem for making the same error as the Jews?

It is time for judgment to begin at the household of God. (1 Peter 4:17 ESV)
