Apostasy in the Last Days (3:1-9)

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. (KJV)  
We see this term, last days (1 Tim.4:1). Latter times is an expression referring to the last days of the church on the Earth, but here it could refer to the days of the church beginning immediately after the life of Paul. The apostasy of the church had already begun, even at that time. John said, "Already there are many antichrists" (1 Jn.2:18). Error had entered the church. I do not think that Paul has in mind the Second Coming of Christ here, when he says "in the last days." Last days: (Gen.49:1; Isa.2:2; Mic.4:1; Acts 2:17; Heb.1:2; Jam.5:3; 2 Pet.3:3). Last days refers to the time from Jesus’ ascension to the end of the world. Perilous times shall come; meaning grievous or desperate times are coming. Some think that the church is going to bring in the Millennium or that it is going to convert the world. The Bible does NOT teach that! It teaches just the opposite! That is the wild dream of idealists which will NEVER materialize. These people live with their heads in the sand, and have NOT faced reality. I think we are speeding into the last days of the church. I believe we are now in these "perilous" days which are described in this section. I do not know how much longer it will last, but I know it will get worse, not better.    

2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, (KJV)
For men shall be lovers of their own selves . . . people will neither love God nor men, compared to themselves. Love shall grow cold, men shall be completely for themselves; me, me, me!
Covetous . . . greedy lovers of money. They will get it any way they can, and when they have it will be as disgustingly single-minded of it.
Boasters . . . bragging on themselves, vain-glorious, boasting of what they have not.
Proud . . . lifted up in a high opinion of themselves.
Blasphemers . . . speaking evil of God and men.
Disobedient to parents . . . stubborn and rebellious against those that bare them.
Unthankful . . . both to God and men, for any kindness received from either.
Unholy . . . profane, immoral and impure.

2 Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, (KJV)
Without natural affection . . . means having abnormal relationships. We are living in a day when homosexuality is being accepted as normal conduct . . . BUT: Romans 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (KJV)
And what about: Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill. (KJV) . . . How many abortions are performed each year. How many innocent babies are killed? Is that natural affection?
Truce-breakers . . . the same word in (Rom.1:31), is rendered implacable. It may refer to those who are unwilling to enter into any agreement; or to those who never keep their word.
False accusers . . . devils, venting their malice by informing against and accusing others, without any regard to truth. These certainly do abound today!
Incontinent . . . intemperate, self-indulgent, uncontrolled, unrestrained, drunkards, gluttons, immoral, unclean persons.
Fierce . . . means savage, men with no gentleness, cruel. Today’s city streets have become asphalt jungles. Many of them are unsafe even in the daytime.
Despisers of those that are good . . . people that have no kindness for any good men, haters of them. We see evidence of that here and abroad!

2 Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; (KJV)
Traitors . . . means the betraying of any trust, or lying to any person to whom we are obliged. It is in Scripture applied to Judas (Lk.6:16), and to the Jews that crucified Christ (Acts 7:52). It means that in the latter times there would be a universal falsehood amongst men (Mat.10:21), a falsehood to their superiors, their relation, profession, etc.
Heady . . . rash, reckless, inconsiderate.
High-minded . . . means blinded by pride or drunk with pride, puffed up with a high opinion of their own accomplishments.
Lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God . . . this really does characterize mankind in our day. NEVER has there been a time when so much money has been spent in order to provide pleasure. Sports and entertainment events today are attracting millions of people. That is exactly the route Rome took when it went down. The mob was provided with food and circuses, and then Rome fell. That same thing is happening today. The government supports people who are well able to work. This is WRONG!!

Five Reasons Why Rome Fell
1. The undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis of human society.
2. Higher and higher taxes; the spending of public money for free bread and circuses for the populace.
3. The mad craze for pleasure; sports becoming every year more exciting, more brutal, more immoral.
4. The building of great armaments when the great enemy was within; the decay of individual responsibility.
5. The decay of religion, fading into a mere form, losing touch with life, losing power to guide the people.

2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. (KJV)
Having a form of godliness . . . a form here is the same as a mask, or deceptive appearance, as opposed to substance and reality. It means that in the latter times there would be many who professed themselves to be Christians, and pretended to worship God. They go through the rituals of religion but lack love for God and knowledge of Truth.
But denying the power thereof . . . a form of godliness is very different from the power. From such as are found to be hypocrites, real Christians must withdraw. Such persons have been found within the church. There have always been crafty men, who, by pretenses and flatteries, creep into the favor and confidence of those who are too ignorant of the Truth.  
From such turn away . . . from these false professors (hypocrites), Paul warns Timothy to turn away, both as to having any church fellowship or any closeness with them. From such turn away means that the believer is to avoid them. A question: If you are in a dead, cold, liberal church, and you are a true believer, what are you doing there? The Word of God says to avoid those things?

2 Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, (KJV) 
For of this sort are they which creep into houses . . . who do not only privately enter in at the doors of houses, but pierce into the secrets of them, making it their business to pry into all families,
And lead captive silly women . . . I think that silly women refers to the unwise of both sexes. There are some people who have attended Bible classes for years, but they do not know any more about the Word of God now than they did when they first began. They simply have not matured.
Laden with sins . . . they do not deal with pious and honest women, but such as are loaded with the guilt of much sin.
Led away with divers lusts . . . these silly women were possessed with many sinful inclinations, not only lusts of the flesh, but others, such as arrogance and pride, and are easily led away. Lust always smooth the way for these to justify it against the thoughts of their conscience. Their vices, rather than sex, made them easily seduced.

2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (KJV)
Ever learning . . . these silly women (people) seem to be disciples of wrong teachers. They put themselves entirely under the care of these supposedly religious teachers, but they never acquire the true knowledge of the way of salvation.
And never able to come to the knowledge of the truth . . . they may learn many things, but the Truth of the Bible they do not learn. There are many such persons in the world, who, whatever attention they may pay to religion, they never understand its simple Truth. Many obtain some contact with the doctrines of Christianity, but never become saved. Nothing is more common than for persons to be very busy and active in religion, and even to learn many things about it, BUT, who still remain strangers to the saving power of the Gospel.

In the last days, the Bible clearly tells us that difficult or trying times will come. ALL the things mentioned in the above Passage IS happening! The vast majority of people ARE lovers of self, lovers of money, arrogant, boastful, disobedient to parents, faultfinders, hypocrites, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.

<><><>We as individuals, and our nation, are faced with problems of nature: Catastrophic government policies, extreme weather, local famine, and pestilence heavily impacts our food production, threatening to send rising food prices and inflation through the roof (consider chicken and egg supply).
While earthly disasters increase in frequency and magnitude, news outlets are turning their attention (and our fears) toward cosmic threats . . . including asteroids like Apophis in 2004 and also expected to pass close to the Earth in April, 2029.

<><><>We are also faced with spiritual problems: The Church of England has ordained a pastor named Bingo Allison, who professes to be “gender queer” and advocates introducing children to non-binary gender fluidity.
Non-binary and genderqueer are umbrella terms for gender identities that are not solely male or female‍ . . . ‌identities that are outside the gender binary. Non-binary identities fall under the transgender umbrella, since non-binary people typically identify with a gender that is different from their assigned sex (by Almighty God), even though some non-binary people do not consider themselves transgender.
On the good side of this . . . because of missions and Bible translation efforts, the Church is on the point of reaching the last people groups (unique in language and culture) with the Gospel, which shall fulfill the feature of Matthew 24:14.

<><><>We are also faced with world politics: global alarmists are becoming more extreme with their liberal progressives in this country steadfastly renouncing American sovereignty to increase our subservience to international norms. Tensions with China skyrocket with top American generals and foreign policy experts warning of soon military conflict over Taiwan and other Pacific crises. Chinese spy balloon and other objects pierce US airspace with slow response from the Biden administration
The Progressive movement was a political and social-reform movement that brought major changes to the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this time, known as the Progressive Era, the movement’s goals involved strengthening the national government and addressing people’s economic, social, and political demands. Progressives saw elements of American society that they wished to reform, especially ending the extreme concentration of wealth among the elite and the enormous economic and political power of big business.

<><><>We are also faced with technology problems: Both Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos have poured millions of dollars into research to wire the human brain with tiny electrodes without the need for drilling through the skull. Touted as a means for restoring communication among paralyzed patients, the technology would also hard-wire people to the web or other computer interfaces.
After pursuing the most current, sophisticated military hardware for generations, the US Army’s top four vendors in FY21 were pharmaceutical companies . . . reflecting a fixation on vaccines and new medical technologies.

<><><>We are also faced with continual problems of Israel: The right-leaning coalition government headed by Bibi Netanyahu has made it clear that Iran’s continued nuclear threat will not be tolerated, even as it eyes increasing unrest close to home with the weakening of Mahmoud Abbas’ control over the Palestinian Authority.
Owing to increasing isolation and perpetual provoking by Palestinian leaders (let alone radical groups like Hamas), Palestinian terrorists are ramping up violent attacks on innocent Israel. We need to pray for Israel. IF you curse Israel, GOD shall curse YOU! PLEASE remember what our awesome God told Abraham!
Gen.12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: (KJV)
Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. (KJV)
