PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED TODAY

Would you like to know what Bible prophecies have to say about our day?  Some 2,000 years ago, the Bible foretold that "critical times hard to deal with" would come "in the last days." Last days of what?  Not of the earth or humankind, but of the strife, the oppression, and suffering that have plagued mankind for millenniums.  Let us examine just  a few of the prophecies that earmark "the last days." 

2 Timothy 3:1-5:  "In the last days . . . , men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreements, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having an  appearance of godliness but proving false to its power." 



Would you not agree that such behavior is increasingly evident in people today?  Have you perceived that we are surrounded by people who adore themselves, love  money, and are driven by pride?  Have you not observed that people are more demanding and less willing to agree with others?  Surely you notice that there is widespread disobedience to parents and people in general love pleasures more than they love God.  And things are getting worse by the day. 

Matthew 24:6,7: "You are going to hear of wars and reports of wars. . . . Nations will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom."
