Jesus is coming soon! - John Wolf

[Les Brewer]

"Know this also,that in the last days (just before the Lord's return to take His people out in the Rapture) perilous times (dangerous times) shall come(they cannot be stopped).For men shall be lovers of their own selves (self centeredness,selfish),covetous (full of lust),boasters (braggarts),proud (of their own self accomplishments),blasphemers (use of profanity towards others,habitual use of profanity in general,individuals using God's name in vain),disobedient to parents (unruly children,children with no discipline or respect),unthankful,unholy (without godliness),without natural affection (lacking the natural attraction towards the opposite sex and being attracted to the same sex,homosexuality),trucebreakers (breaking peaceful agreements),false accusers (liars,ones who make up false stories or accusations against others),incontinent (lacking self control),fierce(savages),despisers of those that are good (hateful towards those who are good),traitors (betraying country or fellow countrymen into the enemies hands),heady (stubborn;head strong,unyielding),highminded (over inflated egos;conceited),lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God (pleasure seekers;ones given over to being pleased at all times);having a form of godliness,but denying the power thereof (individuals who seem to be religious but deny the power of God to transform their lives): from such TURN AWAY (have nothing to do with them).For of this sort are they which creep into houses (sneak in by stealth or deception),and lead captive silly women laden with sins,led away with divers lusts,ever learning,and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (II Tim.3:1-7 KJV) words in parenthesis added for clearer understanding.
Sounds just like the times we are living in,doesn't it? Wait a minute!!!!......It is the times we are living in! Jesus is coming soon!

It is true that we are living in such times. I also think that there have been many periods of time in the past where they could also claim the same thing. - Think about the Spanish Inquisition or the Russian purge of the early 1900's. Or think about some of the African dictators or the Chinese communists. In a local environment, each of those would have seemed pretty bad to the people involved as well. And now, we have the general population turning against the traditional church. Look at the USA under Obama for the last eight years. He did all he could to destroy the true church.

Having said that, I do believe that humanity is getting worse and worse by the year with all of the terrorism we see and all of the casual attitudes that some people have. I won't be so foolish as to predict a date for the return of Jesus but, like you, I am convinced that it isn't that far in the future.

Cheers
