"IN THE LAST DAYS!"

2 Timothy 3:1-5                    (ESV)

"1 But understand this, that IN THE LAST DAYS there will come times of difficulty.

2 For people will be LOVERS OF SELF, LOVERS OF MONEY, PROUD, ARROGANT, ABUSIVE, DISOBEDIENT TO THEIR PARENTS, UNGRATEFUL, UNHOLY,

3 HEARTLESS, UNAPPEASABLE, SLANDEROUS, WITHOUT SELF CONTROL, BRUTAL, NOT LOVING GOOD,

4 TREACHEROUS, RECKLESS, SWOLLEN WITH CONCEIT, LOVERS OF PLEASURE RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD ,

5 HAVING THE APPEARANCE OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING ITS POWER. 

AVOID SUCH PEOPLE!!!!!!"

It seems everyone, including the Pastors of many churches, has an opinion about the discontent and turmoil currently going on in "this world"!  I am currently studying (for about 4 months now) "identifying and recognizing" the enemy, and I'm thinking THIS is a perfect opportunity!!

President Ronald Reagan once said "Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face."   But I hardly see ANY references to scripture on what the solution is.  We need to realize that the closer we get to the Second Coming, scripture indicates the more wicked the behavior of mankind will become. 

Don't be surprised by the actions of modern mankind.  They are only doing what GOD has said they would do.   HE even said to the Pharisees that "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of GOD!"  The Pharisees were regarded BY SOME to be authorities on Scriptures!  JESUS was the WORD and HE knew they didn't know it! 

"IN THE LAST DAYS" people will act like the fives verses above say they will!   The WORD OF GOD IS TRUTH!  Know it!  Live it!  A WHOLE LOT of people are going to be shocked when the trumpet sounds very soon!  But we who KNOW the WORD are looking and watching with GREAT EXPECTATIONS!!!
