But know this: Hard times will come in the last days. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid these people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 CSB) This was written about 2000 years ago by Paul to Timothy who he had trained to be a Pastor.
I think that we are seeing much of what Paul spoke about in this 2nd letter to Timothy, and he was pointing to what was to come in the last days. Meaning that time when there will be much trial for those who are living on the earth in the time of tribulation. We see much of this today, people burning down whole areas of cities, beating up those who are defenseless, thinking of themselves as being the arbiter of what is right and wrong, they are their own god. Demanding that everyone cowtow to them or be destroyed, we call this the cancel culture. Look around at what is happening in our towns and cities, people breaking into stores and stealing everything they can, setting fire when they are done so the storekeeper loses everything. The scary part of this is they are beeing aided and abeted by the very people who should be prosecuting them for their crimes, instead letting them go without any bail.
Yes even the justice system is corrupt and without regard for the law, they make their own laws and ignore that which has been the law of the land. Our Federal government is a group of power hungry people, who lie and disdain even God in their lust for more and more power. We see this in the way people are treated, locked up in prison for 2 or 3 years without due process because they are of the wrong political party, accused of crimes they did not commit, and then left to languish in prison because they do not have the money needed to hire a lawyer.
The government which was supposed to be for the people and by the people, is now for themselves and against the people, even the President of this nation says that he wants it understood that our children are not our children, they are wards of the state, and they need to be taught to be fluid in their gender situation. They are to be vacinated against Covid at the age of 1 because the politicians say so, not because the science says it is needed. They are to be taught (indoctrinated) in the schools, instead of learning to read and write and cypher, (arithmetic). I find it amazing, that I go to a store and pay for an item and the clerk does not know how to make change when I pay.
So here we are in America, the greatest country in the world, and yet we have thugs beating up women, or old men because they can, we see gunfights in our streets because they will be out of jail before the police are back on the street. We also see that these thugs are idolized by our young people, who want to be like them. Our military is being indoctrinated as well, the Pentagon is a bunch of pantywaists, who wants only complaince from the men and women in uniform, and they are teaching white soldiers to apologize for being white. They are also working to rid the military of all those soldiers who are Christian, or conservative because they do not want anyone who might stand up to thier tactics.
I have not posted in a while simply because of health issues, not covid by the way, but other problems. I am now back and will try to make this at the least a once a week missive, maybe even twice a week, but that remains to be seen. I want to make sure that we understand something though, and that is that I firmly believe we are approaching the last days, as spoken about in the Bible. God has a plan,and it is now working it’s way through this world. A world that is moving faster and faster toward the end of the world. We can see that there are wars in may places especially Ukraine and Russia, it is only a matter of time before this war or the next war will become a world war. It is also coming upon this nation that we will see more and more persecution of Christians, as is happening in the north of us in Canada. There have been a number of shootings, and other types of attacks against Churches, and against Christians in many places in this world.
I will be writing about these as well. Until my next missive, be safe, and be blessed.
