“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.”

Seeing “this world” become darker and darker as time progresses, the “natural” question is raised “what is happening to our society”?  Many people prefer to ignore the BIBLE and its TRUTHS, but that doesn’t lessen the TRUTH contained within!  Allowing HIS TRUTH TO CHANGE us is the only HOPE for “this world”!

After the shootings in El Paso, Texas I saw a post on social media saying “thoughts & prayers” with a line drawn through it followed by “POLICY & CHANGE”!  That sounds good to the “natural” man, but we who are BORN OF THE SPIRIT understand that these “times of DIFFICULTY” must come before JESUS RETURNS!  No amount of “POLICY & CHANGE” will curtail the slightest evil.  Only a repentant heart will! 

People, we MUST recognize that we aren’t to expect to escape the DIFFICULT portion of the Plan of GOD for the “LAST DAYS”, the end times, for the entire world.  We MUST almost embrace the DIFFICULT times that lies ahead and KNOW that the battle has been WON!  It’s not as if Scripture says the “LAST DAYS, may come, or they might come, but THERE WILL COME times of DIFFICULTY!  It is just a sign of the times!!!
