"MADNESS" AND "CRITICAL TIMES"
ARE HERE AS PROPHESIED!

"But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For  men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of Godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. For from these arise those men who slyly work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth. Now in the way that Jan'nes and Jam'bres resisted Moses, so these also go on resisting the truth, men completely corrupted in mind, disapproved as regards the faith. Nevertheless, they will make no further progress, for their madness will be very plain to all, even as the madness of those two men became."  (2 Timothy 3:1-9).

The prophesied "madness" and "critical times" have arrived during the "last days" of the evil system of this world.

Currently, there are wars and reports of wars.  (Matt 24:6).

International terrorism has struck fear into many nations.

People applaud the homosexual behaviour of those worshipping
the creation rather than The Creator.  (Rom 1:24-27).

Millions are currently dying of A.I.D.S.  (Rom 1:32).

Millions are dying from famine and disease.  (2 Esdras 16:17-22 NEB).

Suicide is on the increase among young and old alike worldwide.

There is overwhelming poverty in many nations.

People continue to admire and give support to political leaders
of  "wild beast" nations and their dungy idols.  (Rev 13:15-17).

Many children are "disobedient to parents, unthankful,
disloyal"
and have "no natural affection".  (2 Tim 3:2,3).

The aged are attacked in their own homes for a mere pittance.
Some of them have died from such attacks.

Today, there are hundreds of sectarian false religions, each "having a form of Godly devotion but proving false to its power".  Members of some of these sects are known to "slyly  work their way into households and lead as their captives weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth."  (2 Tim 3:5  7).

Crime is out of control, even in countries considered to be civilized.

All the evil behaviour described above is consistent with the prophecy of  God through the apostle Paul, and the "madness" that is manifest among abandoned ones. These are the evil dispositions of men and women who have rejected Almighty God.  (Rom 1:18-21).
