Are We Living in "the Last Days"?- PEOPLE OF THE LAST DAYS

 

Aside from identifying certain world developments, the Bible foretold that the last days would be marked by a change in human society.  The apostle Paul described what people in general would be like.  We are told:  "In the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here." (Read 2 Timothy 3:1-5)  Paul said that people would be 

* lovers of themselves

*  lovers of money

* disobedient to parents

* disloyal

* having no natural affection

* without self-control

* fierce

* lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God

* having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power

Have people become like that in your community?  No doubt they have.  There are people everywhere who have bad traits.  This shows that God will soon act, for the Bible says: "When the wicked sprout like weeds and all the wrongdoers flourish, it is that they be annihilated forever." -  PSALM 92:2.
