“…in the last days
dangerous times
[of great stress and trouble]
will come…
– 2 Timothy 3:verse 1
2 Timothy 3 reads like today’s daily Epoch Times. Read it from Timothy (below)… and try to think otherwise. Can’t.
Like in the days of Noah
It’s just like in the days of Noah before God pulled the plug on earth, saving only 8 (out of the entire world’s population!).
“the great patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons [Noah’s family], were brought safely through the water.” – 1 Peter 3:20
Wait for it
God is “waiting” today also. Evil has leap-frogged, one evil over another, into today’s doofus day, worsening our experience on earth by gazillions. Things are not going to get better, but rather, the Bible predicts things will grow worse (Matthew 24:3-8).
“…in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come…
– 2 Timothy 3:verse 1
13 But evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
– verse 13 of 2 Timothy 3

“Embrace the fact
that God chose you
to live in this time and place”

We absolutely must embrace the day, knowing God knew it all beforehand, and “before the foundation of the world” He predestined us to live in these end times — for the furtherance of His salvation message to the lost.
| Called by Jesus to be forever on a higher level |
Are you “redeeming the time” with the way you live?

“Difficult Times Will Come”
But understand this, that in the last days dangerous times [of great stress and trouble] will come [difficult days that will be hard to bear].
2 For people will be lovers of self [narcissistic, self-focused], lovers of money [impelled by greed], boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy and profane, 3 [and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good, 4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of [sensual] pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith].
Avoid such people and keep far away from them. 6 For among them are those who worm their way into homes and captivate morally weak and spiritually-dwarfed women weighed down by [the burden of their] sins, easily swayed by various impulses,
7 always learning and listening to anybody who will teach them, but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres [the court magicians of Egypt] opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, unqualified and worthless [as teachers] in regard to the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their meaningless nonsense and ignorance will become obvious to everyone, as was that of Jannes and Jambres.
10 Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 persecutions, and sufferings—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all!
12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are determined to live godly lives in Christ Jesus will be hunted and persecuted [because of their faith].
13 But evil men and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in the things that you have learned and of which you are convinced [holding tightly to the truths], knowing from whom you learned them,
15 and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings (Hebrew Scriptures) which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus [surrendering your entire self to Him and having absolute confidence in His wisdom, power and goodness].
16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage];
17 so that the man [a – all believers whether man, woman, or child] of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.
