Have you seen the news lately? Have you been on social media?
Scary, isn’t it?
The Apostle Paul predicted today’s culture exactly in 2 Timothy 3: 1-5:
Paul was writing to his young apprentice, Timothy.
“You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.”

Jesus here was predicting the Roman invasion and destruction of the temple which happened in 70 AD.
“ Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”
This is typical of humans. We want to know the future. We want to be prepared.
‘Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.’
Folks, the birth pains are getting stronger and more frequent. You can’t deny this.... Read more...
