I have been "saved" (born again Christian) for over 30 years now. All of my life I have heard we are in the "last days" of the Bible.
Yet, lately with Haiti, Okinawa, and now Chile, I have been thinking about it more and more.
(Matt 24:7, Mar 13:8, Luk 21:11)
2Ti 3:1 You must understand this: In the last days there will be violent periods of time.
2Ti 3:2 People will be selfish and love money. They will brag, be arrogant, and use abusive language. They will curse their parents, show no gratitude, have no respect for what is holy,
2Ti 3:3 and lack normal affection for their families. They will refuse to make peace with anyone. They will be slanderous, lack self-control, be brutal, and have no love for what is good.
2Ti 3:4 They will be traitors. They will be reckless and conceited. They will love pleasure rather than God.
2Ti 3:5 They will appear to have a godly life, but they will not let its power change them. Stay away from such people.
2Ti 3:6 Some of these men go into homes and mislead weak-minded women who are burdened with sins and led by all kinds of desires.
2Ti 3:7 These women are always studying but are never able to recognize the truth.
Does this describe the world of today?
2Pe 3:3 First, you must understand this: In the last days people who follow their own desires will appear. These disrespectful people will ridicule God's promise
2Pe 3:4 by saying, "What's happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of the world."
2Pe 3:5 They are deliberately ignoring one fact: Because of God's word, heaven and earth existed a long time ago. The earth appeared out of water and was kept alive by water.
2Pe 2:2 Many people will follow them in their sexual freedom and will cause others to dishonor the way of truth.
2Pe 2:3 In their greed they will use good-sounding arguments to exploit you. The verdict against them from long ago is still in force, and their destruction is not asleep.
2Pe 2:4 God didn't spare angels who sinned. He threw them into hell, where he has secured them with chains of darkness and is holding them for judgment.
2Pe 2:5 God didn't spare the ancient world either. He brought the flood on the world of ungodly people, but he protected Noah and seven other people. Noah was his messenger who told people about the kind of life that has God's approval.
2Pe 2:6 God condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them by burning them to ashes. He made those cities an example to ungodly people of what is going to happen to them.
2Pe 2:7 Yet, God rescued Lot, a man who had his approval. Lot was distressed by the lifestyle of people who had no principles and lived in sexual freedom.
2Pe 2:8 Although he was a man who had God's approval, he lived among the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Each day was like torture to him as he saw and heard the immoral things that people did.
2Pe 2:9 Since the Lord did all this, he knows how to rescue godly people when they are tested. He also knows how to hold immoral people for punishment on the day of judgment.
