including politics, business, society, among friends and neighbors, and worst of all, the
world being enshrouded in spiritual darkness through Satan’s use of
deception
by false
ministers!
In his letter to Timothy, the Apostle Paul wrote of the selfishness of mankind with no
real caring concern or love for others; a very powerful and tragic view that is being
witnessed by the majority of today’s society:
II Timothy 3:1-5 “But know this THAT IN THE LAST DAYS perilous (
margin:
stressful
) times will come; for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of
money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, unforgiving, SLANDERERS, without self-control, brutal, despisers
of good, TRAITORS, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than
lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from
such people turn away.”
The Apostle Paul further writes of this age as being evil:
Galatians 1:3-4 “Grace to you and peace from God the Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from
THIS PRESENT EVIL AGE according to the will of our God and Father to
whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
Jesus Christ spoke of this end-time as abounding in evil:
“. . . Lawlessness will
abound” (Matthew 24:12).
Pleas Unheard by God
The following Scriptures speak prophetically of mankind having been cut off with a
curse from God on them in this end-time because of their sins (
Leviticus 26;
Deuteronomy 28
)!
While facing dire circumstances from the increasing frequency of record-breaking
disasters (
Ezekiel 7:25-26
), drought (
Joel 1:1-20
), failing economy, terrorists,
plundering, violence and killings (
Habakkuk 1:1-4
), a cry will be made to God in their
religious services for Him to answer their prayers because of the increasing and
imminent threat to human life; but they will not be heard by Him. God’s prophet makes
known why:
Isaiah 59:1-4 “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened that it cannot save;
nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated
you from your God; and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He
will not hear. For your hands are defiled with BLOOD, and your fingers
with iniquity; YOUR LIPS HAVE SPOKEN LIES, your tongue has muttered
PERVERSITY (
malicious insinuations – misrepresentations of others, deceptive lies)
.
No one calls for justice, nor does any PLEAD for TRUTH. They trust in
