This week I am reading Daniel 9, where, in the first
three verses I find that Daniel has learned what time
it is. He is reading Jeremiah and discovers that "Israel
shall serve the king of Babylon for seventy years,
and then God would visit his people and bring them
back into the land." (Jer. 25:11-12; 29:10)
Is it possible to for us to discern the times we are
living in? Take a look at the following scriptures:
"But understand this, that in the last days there will
be times of difficulty. For people will be:
lovers of self
lovers of money
proud
arrogant
abusive
disobedient to parents
ungrateful
unholy
heartless
unappeasable
slanderous
without self-control
brutal
not loving good
treacherous
reckless
swollen with conceit
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
having the appearance of godliness but
denying its power
And, the love of most will grow cold."
(2 Tim. 3:1-3; Matt. 24:12)
Wow, what a list! If I doubt that we are living in
the last days all I have to do is turn on the TV
and watch the programs that flow from the screen.
Dearest reader, the clock is moving toward
midnight. How then shall we live?
