This know also, that in the last days perilous time shall come ( 2Tim 3:1)
Much has been said about the state of human society when the Lord returns. For some, the power of the Gospel and the work of the Spirit is changing the world for better( postmillennialism) For others, it predicts a catastrophic conclusion of human history. ( amillennialism )
However, that not with-standing, Paul states candidly that the days will be perilous. Men will be lovers of themselves, ungrateful, unholy, disrespectful to their parents, slanderous, brutal, rush, conceited etc
It is important to remind ourselves that the days we now live in befits the above description. Today we have a great abundance of the most wicked men in the world. The object of this reference was evidently to show the necessity of using every precaution to preserve the purity of the church.
Even during this troublesome and dangerous times, Christ will preserve His church.
