In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus Christ -Yeshua]
was in the beginning with God.
END TIME GENERATION
Jesus had much to say when asked by His disciples about His second
coming and the end of days. Jesus made it clear that no man knows the
hour of His return. Only the Father knows the hour. As the son of man,
Jesus was not given that knowledge to pass on to His disciples. However,
as the Christ, He knows the hour because He and the Father are one in
the same. They are one God with two personalities.
Jesus provided signs to look for regarding the end of days.
The most evident today are false prophets, natural disasters in various
places, and rampant wickedness. Our current world can be compared to the days of Noah. In
those days, the intent of the thoughts of mankind was continuously evil
(Genesis 6:5). There was total disregard for God and His ways. People
were carrying on with their daily activities. Suddenly, the floods came
and swept them away to destruction. Today, unrighteousness overwhelms us on all
sides. Hollywood films and television make murder and adultery a sport to which we give
high ratings. Legalization of homosexual marriage is gaining wider acceptance.
Drug addiction and pornography are commonplace. Most sadly, children are
being abused in horrifying numbers. Abortion on demand is murder that has been
twisted into a freedom, a right of choice. Businesses need a horde of
lawyers to execute an agreement when handshakes sufficed in the past.
Corporations cook the books rather than inspecting and reconciling them.
Executives unashamedly reward themselves outrageous bonuses after
leading
their companies into ruin. Sunday has become sports day instead of
church day. The list goes on.
Second Timothy chapter 3 summarizes what society will be like in the
last days. Today, you will find all of these traits in homes, schools,
businesses and churches: lovers of self; lovers of money; boastful;
proud; blasphemers; disobedient to parents; ungrateful; unholy;
unloving; irreconcilable; slanderers; without self-control; brutal;
haters of good; traitors; reckless; conceited; lovers of pleasure rather
than lovers of God; having a form of religion but denying its power.
These ungodly behaviors have been around before but not as widespread as they are today. It will continue to get worse until Christ
returns the second time to judge the nations for their sin of rejecting
His Word, which cleanses us from sin.
