Concise Bible Dictionary
:
This expression occurs in
Paul
’s second letter to
Timothy
, “In the
last days
perilous
times
shall come,” then follows such a
picture
of moral depravity that it might have been supposed that the
apostle
was referring to the
heathen
; but he adds, “having a form of
godliness
, but denying the
power
thereof....evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (
2 Tim. 3:1-13
1
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8
Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
10
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11
Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:1‑13)
). This plainly shows (and the solemn fact is confirmed by other passages) that so far from the
world
being converted before the
Lord
returns, even the professing
church
itself has been hopelessly corrupted, and the path of the
Christian
becomes more and more difficult as he seeks to avoid the multiplied dangers and seductions by which he is surrounded.
