2 Timothy 3 Godlessness in the Last Days 1But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.
6They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth—men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.WHAT DO YOU THINK  ?? |

would i be right in assuming that some people look at the world and sin as sort of an hour-glass? with sin filling up the earth until it gets too much for God, then he can't take it any more and sends judgement on the earth?!?!
i think this goes a long way in how we actually SEE God and what we believe about both Him and the "last days" we are living in.

Sounds like the Roman times, or maybe I mean the time of the Greeks, or do I mean the renaissance period? No, on second thougts it sounds like the French (I keed, I keed, French people) |

Good point. I think there's a good possibility that Nero was the Anti-christ in Revelations. |
