II Timothy 3:1-9 Translated from the original Greek of the day

1. Be sure to know without exception what I am about to say to you. In the very last part of the last days, at the end of the age, dangerous, unpredictable, harmful, uncontrollable, high-risk periods of time will come.

2. People will be self-consumed, self-absorbed, self-focused, and in love with themselves more than anyone else. Because of this, they will hoard money for themselves while giving very little help to others. These boasters are so committed to their own self-promotion and agenda that they are willing to exaggerate and lie if it will get them the position, advantage, or agenda they desire. They are arrogant, snooty, and high-and-mighty. They mock, slander, and speak ill of anyone who stands in the way of their plans. Also, parents will no longer be able to persuade, lead or exercise authority over their children…Although they were once thankful, people will become void of gratitude for everything in the last days. As a result, impurity will seep into society and cause it to become unholy — unholy, coarse, vulgar, offensive, crude, lewd, and rude, living and carrying on in a way that God would never sanction.

3. Love and commitment to the family will diminish; divorce will become epidemic, with irreconcilable differences being the primary cause for separation. The legal system will be overwhelmed as people go overboard in suing others and being sued. Without self-control, savage and inhumane, morally confused about right or wrong. Offenders are protected, and the innocent suffer.

4. Traitors-betrayers. Many will be preoccupied with and for their violence, but all of this will pass. As a storm appears on the horizon and brings destruction with it, these violent winds in society will not last long. Many will be preoccupied with the pursuit of pleasure and happiness that gratifies the flesh—no more lovers of God but lovers of this world and what it offers.
5. Although they may possess an outward form of religiosity, they will refuse and reject the power that goes along with genuine godliness. I am telling you to mentally and spiritually turn away yourselves from such people.

6. These sorts of individuals thrust themselves as help with the intention of gaining access into people’s homes to manipulate them and lead captive women who feel burdened and overwhelmed and missing the mark of what was hoped for. Whom the manipulators find easier to influence because they have so many unmet longings

7. These types are ever-learning but searching in the wrong places or listening to the wrong voices. They are never able to come to the knowledge of the Truth.

8-9. Now as Jannes and Jambres fiercely opposed Moses, so do these also resist and defy the truths of scripture. They will be men with minds that have been ruined, malfunctioning, and reprobate concerning the teachings of scripture. However, the spiritual disease they spread will be halted, and their lunacy, madness, and spiritual nonsense will be obviously clear to all, as theirs also was.

13. Evil men and seducers will masquerade as spiritual leaders to lead people off track as they spread their teachings. Over time, they will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived by the spiritually diseased teachings they communicate to others.

17. That the man of God may be complete, fully functional, fully supplied, and equipped unto all good works.

————————————-

Such that have a form of godliness will be similar to Jannes and Jambres.

Jannes and Jambres were popular sorcerers. Jewish intellectuals, Pliney the Elder, Syriac and Aramaic sources, and more speak of their resistance.
Resist = anthistemi: To stand against or opposition. Fiercely opposed to what’s being said and do all in their power to withstand or defy.
Present-day evil influencers will have minds corrupted over a period of time.
Corrupt = kataphtheiro: down + deterioration (degeneration)
Minds that have progressively moved downward into a state of collapse or ruin.

Jannes and Jambres embraced spiritual delusion, and their minds progressively deteriorated until they became reprobate concerning the Faith.
Reprobate = adokimos: unreliable, untrustworthy, disapproved, unfit
A society that has been heavily exposed to all types of negative spiritual influences via every technological angle. Their information is impaired and will cause someone to be ruined concerning the Faith. (Ref. Rom. 1:28). Such individuals can’t arrive at spiritual, godly conclusions because of long-term exposure to evil influences that bombard their minds with all wrong thoughts. That is how they become unfit. Toxic information and toxic environments has caused them to lose their ability to discern what is morally right and wrong (Ex. definition of woman), or separate good from evil, and judge what is wrong or right. The church world has become infected and affected as well.

Immorality is openly and publicly celebrated. Propaganda about human sexuality is rampant. Seducing spirits are attacking humanity to assimilate the collective and individual mind to their way, which is one lacking moral restraint. They are being mentally modified.

Too many are not grounded in the rock-solid truth of God’s Word. Satan is launching a demonic war against believers and unbelievers alike. Most can’t discern that what is wrong is wrong and what is right is right, and they are opposed to Biblical truths as taught here at FCBH. We are the outcasts.

Toxic churches from the USA have had abysmal effects on those in Africa, taking advantage of the gullible, poor, and desperate with the Prosperity Doctrine. Some of the richest pastors in the world aren’t in the USA; they are in Africa in places such as Nigeria.

Many Christians think voting Republican will help maintain the First Amendment. Unfortunately, they’re unaware that battles over this were had in California over 20 years ago (Faith Center) with the Petris Bill, but the fight against the State’s lawyers, public officials, and FCC was a fight against the Republican Party, predominantly Republican office holders prior to the Regan Era, because that’s when the fight started, and beyond. Most of the battles were lost, and what was won (Petris Bill), the government found a way around it. The Republicans want to control the information you receive so they can mold you into the image they want you to perform so they can pursue their evil plan. The whole system is corrupt.

My hope isn’t in government or party. They’re all going to hell in a handbasket. It’s all sick and diseased, and the only answer is JESUS.

The first Christians didn’t have First Amendment Rights or any rights at all. Yet, they turned the world upside down while dealing with death a persecution continuously. I believe they are why the Roman Empire collapsed. The Church is never at its strongest until its in persecution because then you do a lot of sorting out of the phonies and the reprobates.

Satan is looking for a point of access in the minds of individuals, and the mind will be molded into an appealing way of thinking that leads them down a wrong path and not the time-tested standards that God lays down in the New Testament.

WAKE UP, BE ALERT. SATAN IS LEADING A WHOLE GENERATION INTO DELUSION

They steal, kill, damage the mind, and destroy anything the Scriptures say. As Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

WE ARE LIVING IN THE AGE OF THE REPROBATE
