ENDTIMES - SOCIETY / CHARACTER

2Ti 3:1  This know also, that in the last days
    perilous times shall come.
2Ti 3:2  For men shall be
    lovers of their own selves,
    covetous,
    boasters,
    proud,
    blasphemers,
    disobedient to parents,
    unthankful,
    unholy,
    2Ti 3:3  Without natural affection,
    trucebreakers,
    false accusers,
    incontinent,
    fierce,
    despisers of those that are good,
    2Ti 3:4  Traitors,
    heady,
    highminded,
    lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
    2Ti 3:5  Having a form of godliness, but denying the
    power thereof: from such turn away.
    2Ti 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,
    2Ti 3:7  Ever learning, and never able to come to the
    knowledge of the truth.

2Pe 3:3  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days
    scoffers,
    walking after their own lusts,
    2Pe 3:4  And 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.
    2Pe 3:5  For this they willingly are ignorant of,
    that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and
    the earth standing out of the water and in the water:  
    [Denying God is the Creator despite the
    evidence and facts - willingly believing a lie --
    Evolution]
Matthew 24:1-25:50 KJV
(1)  And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples
came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
(2)  And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto
you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be
thrown down.

(3)  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying,
    Tell us, when shall these things be? and
    what shall be the sign of thy coming, and
    of the end of the world?

(4)  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man
deceive you.
(5)  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.

(6)  And ye shall
hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not
troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
    (7)  For nation shall rise against nation,
    and kingdom against kingdom:

and there shall be famines,
and
pestilences,
and
earthquakes, in divers places.

(8)  All these are
the beginning of sorrows.

(9)  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and
ye shall
be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
(10)  And then
shall many be offended, and shall betray one another,
and
shall hate one another.

(11)  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
(12)  And because
iniquity shall abound,
the
love of many shall wax cold.
    (13)  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(14)  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for a witness unto all nations
; and then shall the end come.



(15)  When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him
understand:)
(16)  Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
(17)  Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out
of his house:
(18)  Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
(19)  And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
(20)  But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath
day:

(21)  For
then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
(22)  And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be
saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
(23)  Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe
it not. (24)  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall
shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall
deceive the very elect.
(25)  Behold, I have told you before.
(26)  Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not
forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. (27)  For as the
lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall
also the coming of the Son of man be. (28)  For wheresoever the carcase is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.

(29)  
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall
fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:



(30)  And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and
then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man
coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.   (31)  And he
shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather
together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

(32)  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
(33)  So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near,
even at the doors.

(34)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things
be fulfilled.

(35)  Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
(36)  But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, but my Father only.
(37)  But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man
be. (38)  For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into
the ark, (39)  And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
(40)  Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
(41)  Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the
other left.

(42)  
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth
come.

(43)  But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what
watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have
suffered his house to be broken up.
(44)  Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son
of man cometh.
(45)  Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household, to give them meat in due season?
(46)  Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing.
(47)  Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
(48)  But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his
coming;
(49)  And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the
drunken;
(50)  The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for
him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites:
there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Luke 21:1-36 KJV
(6)  As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which
there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.




(7)  And they asked him, saying,
    Master, but when shall these things be? and
    what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?



(8)  And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived:
    for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time
    draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.


(9)  But when ye shall
hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for
these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
    (10)  Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation,
    and kingdom against kingdom:

(11)  And great earthquakes shall be in divers places,
and
famines,
and pestilences;
and
fearful sights
and great signs shall there be from heaven.

(12)  But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and
persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into
prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.  
    (13)  And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
    (14)  Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye
    shall answer: (15)  For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all
    your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

(16)  And
ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and
kinsfolks, and friends;
and
some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
(17)  And ye
shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
    (18)  But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
    (19)  In your patience possess ye your souls.

(20)  And when
ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then
know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
(21)  Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them
which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the
countries enter thereinto.







(22)  For these be
the days of vengeance, that all things which are written
may be fulfilled.

(23)  But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in
those days! for there shall be
great distress in the land, and wrath upon
this people.
(24)  And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall
be
led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down
of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.







(25)  And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the
stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
and the waves roaring;
(26)  Men's hearts failing them for fear, and
for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the
powers of heaven shall be shaken.

(27)  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.  
(28)  And when these things begin to come to
pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.



(29)  And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
(30)  When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that
summer is now nigh at hand. (31)  So likewise ye,
when ye see these
things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

(32)  Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all
be fulfilled.

(33)  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
(34)  And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be
overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares.(35)  For as a snare shall it come on all
them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.







(36)  
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted
worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to
stand before the Son of man
Dan 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.
