- People
living without regard to whether God exist - Genesis
6:5, And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts
of his heart was only evil continually.
- Jesus
said that the end will be like the day of Noah when God flooded the Earth
because of the same sins that are in this world, and even worse today then
back in those days. Luke 17:26-27 And
as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son
of man.27 They did eat, they drank,
they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Explosion of knowledge and travel -
Daniel - 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run
to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
3.
Wars and rumors of wars - Mark 13:7,8 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of
wars, be ye not troubled: for such
things must needs be; but the
end shall not be yet. 8For nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers
places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
4. Widespread acceptance of immoral behavior - 2
Peter 2:5-8 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah
the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6And turning the cities
of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making the man ensample unto those
that after should live ungodly;
The
Godly will be delivered
7And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8(For
that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
5. Instability in world
leadership - Psalm 2:1-3, 1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?2 The kings of the earth set
themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against
his anointed, saying,3 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
Revelation
13:4-9 4-And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast:
and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to
make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a
mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to
continue forty and two months. 6
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome
them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not
written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. 9
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
6.
Widespread abandonment of the Christian faith - 1
Timothy 4:1-3; Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in
the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3
Forbidding to marry, and
commanding to abstain from
meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which
believe and know the truth.
2
Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;4And
they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables.
7.
Increased demonic activity - 1
Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in
the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils;
8. Significant shifts in political power and influence - Revelation
13:3-7 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his
deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped
the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to
make war with him? 5And there was given unto him a mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue
forty and two months. 6And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.7And
it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and
power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
9.
People mocking the Word of God - 2 Peter
3:2-4, Knowing this first, that there shall come in
the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4And
saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they
were from the beginning of
the creation
Jude 17-18
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; 18How that they told you there
should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly
lusts.
10. Antichrist declares himself to be God - 2
Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; 4Who
opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.
11. General disrespect for others - 2
Timothy 3:2-4 For men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors,
heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
12. Spirit of selfishness and materialism - 2
Timothy 3:1-2 This know also, that in the last days
perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
