Jeremiah 50: 11-46, Jeremiah 51: 1-14, 2 Timothy 3, Proverbs 8: 22-31
2 Timothy 3: 12-13 (ESV)
“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus
will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to
worse, deceiving and being deceived.”
Verses 12 and 13 from 2 Timothy 3 shows Paul telling Timothy
about what could happen in perilous times. Paul was very prophetic, and he could
be talking about what is going on in our world today. People who believe in God
and/or profess to believe in God are still getting persecuted. Christians in
the United States are getting cancelled and/or ridiculed in the media and
social media. Hollywood has often portrayed people of faith in movies as horrible
and prejudiced people. Paul also wrote how evil people will go from bad to worse.
We are seeing more crime being reported and levels of human trafficking not seen
in a long time It’s a wonder that some people think we are in the end times.
Are we in the end times? I don’t know. But the signs are definitely there that
Paul told Timothy to be aware of so he could be on his guard. We need to also
be on our guard as well. We may not be in end times, but the signs are certainly
there.
