Hard Times

Know this, hard times are coming!

For men (woman) shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, thankless, wrongdoers, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, haters of good, betrayers, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather lovers of Elohim, having a form of reverence but denying its power - 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

It is a long list of wickedness! How much of the above list is already happening! If I look at the list then I cannot find any of the things mentioned, that is not occurring right now.

Hard times are already here and it is just going to get worse!

Turn away from this wickedness!

For among them are those who creep into households and captivate silly women loaded down with sins, led way by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth - 2 Timothy 3:6-7.

These verses are saying that believers let bad people into their homes and they led believers astray. Women within the homes became silly with their sins and are led away after their lusts. These are believers that learn about the truth but do not understand the truth, other words, they worship by their lips but their heart is empty - lukewarm!

2 Timothy 3:8-9, - men (women) of corrupt minds, found worthless concerning the belief; but they shall be obvious to all, as also that of those men became.

The lukewarm believers will be shown out at some time and everyone will know them.

Shaul (Paul) says in 2 Timothy 3:14-15, But you (the true believer), stay in what you have learned and trusted, having known from whom you have learned, and that from a babe (new believer) you have known the Set-apart Scriptures (Holy Bible), which are able to make you wise for deliverance (save) through belief in Messiah Yahusha (Jesus).

Do not turn away from the righteous path but walk with Yahusha the Messiah till the end.
