I KNOW, I KNOW, you have read or heard this a hundred times. But, read it again, for the first time. This is a brief statement about the "LAST DAYS." There has never been a time, since Jesus, that these conditions were more evident and pervasive in society.
2 Timothy 3:1-5
(1) But know this, that in the last days grievous (evil, perilous, hard) times shall come.
(2) For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers (blasphemers), disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
(3) without natural affection, implacable (trucebreakers), slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good,
(4) traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God;
(5) holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof: from these also turn away.
Satan has always tried to create and sustain this kind of social, spiritual, intellectual, ethical, emotional morass, but it has taken modern communications, Secular Humanism, breakdown of family, rejection of the Bible and international unity to bring an atmosphere that feeds and sustains the seeds of spiritual squalor. This atmosphere is the result of the joint venture of leaders who have rejected the Holy Bible as the revealed and authoritative word of God.
When the Last Days start to tick away there will be no turning back to anything good. The world will have reached the point of no return, the tipping point. There will be no world revival or turning to Christ. The only option for the world at that time will be to continue its self destruction until Jesus returns as Judge and King, rather than Suffering Servant.
NOW IS THE TIME TO RETURN TO FAITH IN CHRIST AND HIS HOLY BIBLE. And even then, believers need to put out their big anchor, " 'cause it's gonna get bad."
