Paul Discusses The End Times, The Last Days



Romans 1:18-32

For The Wrath of GOD (GOD Almighty) is REVEALED from Heaven AGAINST All Ungodliness and Unrighteousness of Men (Unbelievers), who SUPPRESS The TRUTH in Unrighteousness, because what may be KNOWN of GOD (GOD Almighty) is MANIFEST in Them (Unbelievers), for GOD (GOD Almighty) has SHOWN IT to Them (Unbelievers).  For since The Creation of The World, His (GOD Almighty’s) Invisible Attributes are CLEARLY SEEN, being Understood by THE THINGS that are MADE, even His (GOD Almighty’s) ETERNAL POWER and GODHEAD (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit), so that They (Unbelievers) are WITHOUT EXCUSE, because, although They (Unbelievers) KNEW GOD (GOD Almighty), They (Unbelievers) did NOT GLORIFY Him as GOD (GOD Almighty), NOR were Thankful, but became FUTILE in Their (Unbelievers) Thoughts, and Their (Unbelievers) Foolish Hearts were DARKENED.  Professing to be Wise, They (Unbelievers) became Fools, and CHANGED The GLORY of The Incorruptible GOD (GOD Almighty) into an IMAGE made like Corruptible Man, and Birds and Four-Footed Animals and Creeping Things.

Therefore, GOD (GOD Almighty) also GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP to Uncleanness, in The Lusts of Their (Unbelievers) Hearts, to Dishonor Their (Unbelievers) Bodies among Themselves (Unbelievers), who EXCHANGED The TRUTH of GOD (GOD Almighty), for The LIE, and Worshiped and Served The Creature, rather than The Creator (GOD Almighty), Who is BLESSED Forever.  Amen.  For THIS REASON, GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) UP to Vile Passions.  For even Their (Unbelievers) Women, EXCHANGED The Natural Use for what is AGAINST Nature.  Likewise also The Men (Unbelievers), LEAVING The Natural Use of The Woman, BURNED in Their (Unbelievers) Lust for One Another, Men (Unbelievers) WITH Men (Unbelievers) Committing what is SHAMEFUL, and receiving in Themselves (Unbelievers), The PENALTY of Their (Unbelievers) ERROR, which was DUE.

And even as They (Unbelievers) did NOT like to RETAIN GOD (GOD Almighty) in Their (Unbelievers) Knowledge, GOD (GOD Almighty) GAVE Them (Unbelievers) OVER to a DEBASED MIND, to do Those Things which are NOT fitting;  being FILLED with All Unrighteousness, Sexual Immorality, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness; Full of Envy, Murder, Strife, Deceit, Evil-Mindedness; They (Unbelievers) are Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters of GOD (GOD Almighty), Violent, Proud, Boasters, Inventors of EVIL THINGS, Disobedient to Parents, Undiscerning, Untrustworthy, Unloving, Unforgiving, Unmerciful; (Unbelievers) who, KNOWING The Righteous Judgment of GOD (GOD Almighty), that Those (Unbelievers) who practice Such Things are Deserving of Death, not ONLY do The Same, but also APPROVE of Those (Unbelievers) who practice them.

Ephesians 6:12

For We (Believers) do NOT Wrestle AGAINST Flesh and Blood (Mankind), but AGAINST Principalities, AGAINST Powers, AGAINST The Rulers of The Darkness of THIS AGE, AGAINST Spiritual Hosts of Wickedness in The Heavenly Places.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

For when They (Unbelievers) say, “Peace and Safety!” then Sudden Destruction COMES UPON Them (Unbelievers), as Labor Pains UPON a Pregnant Woman.  And They (Unbelievers) shall NOT ESCAPE.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, 6-8a, 9-12

Let NO ONE Deceive YOU (Believers) by any means; for THAT DAY will NOT come UNLESS The Falling Away comes FIRST, and The Man of Sin (The Antichrist) IS REVEALED, The Son of Perdition, who OPPOSES and EXALTS Himself (The Antichrist) ABOVE ALL that is Called GOD (GOD Almighty) or that is Worshiped, so that He (The Antichrist) SITS as God (NOT GOD Almighty) in The Temple of GOD (GOD Almighty), SHOWING Himself (The Antichrist) that He (The Antichrist) IS God (NOT GOD Almighty).

 And now YOU (Believers) KNOW what is RESTRAINING, that He (The Antichrist) may be REVEALED in His (The Antichrist’s) Own Time.  For The Mystery of Lawlessness (Satan) is already at work; ONLY He (The Holy Spirit) who now RESTRAINS will do so UNTIL He (The Holy Spirit) is TAKEN OUT of the way.  And THEN The Lawless One (The Antichrist) will be REVEALED.  The Coming of The Lawless One (The Antichrist) is according to The Working of Satan, with All Power, Signs, and Lying Wonders, and with All Unrighteous DECEPTION, among Those (Unbelievers) who PERISH, because They (Unbelievers) did NOT receive The LOVE of The TRUTH, that They (Unbelievers) might be Saved.  And for THIS REASON, GOD (GOD Almighty) will SEND Them (Unbelievers) STRONG DELUSION, that They (Unbelievers) should believe The LIE, that They (Unbelievers) All may be CONDEMNED, who did NOT believe The TRUTH, but had Pleasure in Unrighteousness.

1 Timothy 1:8-10

But We (Believers) KNOW that The Law is GOOD, IF One (Believers) uses it LAWFULLY, KNOWING THIS: that The Law is NOT made for a Righteous Person (Believers), but for The Lawless (Unbelievers) and Insubordinate (Unbelievers), for The Ungodly (Unbelievers) and for Sinners (Unbelievers), for The Unholy (Unbelievers) and Profane (Unbelievers), for Murderers (Unbelievers) of Fathers and Murderers (Unbelievers) of Mothers, for Manslayers (Unbelievers), for Fornicators (Unbelievers), for Sodomites (Unbelievers), for Kidnappers (Unbelievers), for Liars (Unbelievers), for Perjurers (Unbelievers), and if there is Any Other Thing that is CONTRARY to Sound Doctrine (The Holy Bible).

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Now The Spirit (The Holy Spirit) EXPRESSLY SAYS that in Latter Times some (Unbelievers) will Depart from The FAITH, GIVING HEED to Deceiving Spirits and Doctrines of Demons, Speaking Lies in Hypocrisy, having Their (Unbelievers) Own Conscience SEARED with a Hot Iron, Forbidding to Marry, and Commanding to Abstain from Foods, which GOD (GOD Almighty) CREATED to be RECEIVED with Thanksgiving, by Those (Believers) who BELIEVE and KNOW The TRUTH.

1 Timothy 6:3-5

If ANYONE (False Teachers) Teaches Otherwise and does NOT Consent to Wholesome Words, even The WORDS of Our LORD Jesus Christ (The Gospel of Jesus Christ), and to The Doctrine which ACCORDS with Godliness (The Holy Bible), He (False Teachers) is Proud, Knowing NOTHING, but is Obsessed with Disputes and Arguments over words, from which come Envy, Strife, Reviling, EVIL Suspicions, Useless Wranglings of Men (Unbelievers) of Corrupt Minds and Destitute of The TRUTH, who (False Teachers) Suppose that Godliness is a Means of Gain.  From Such (False Teachers) WITHDRAW Yourself (Believers).

2 Timothy 2:23-26

But AVOID Foolish and Ignorant Disputes, KNOWING that They (Unbelievers) generate strife.  And a Servant (Believers) of The LORD (Jesus Christ) must NOT quarrel, but BE GENTLE to All, able to Teach, Patient, in Humility, Correcting Those (Unbelievers) who are in Opposition, IF GOD (GOD Almighty) perhaps will GRANT Them (Unbelievers) Repentance, so that They (Unbelievers) may KNOW The TRUTH, and that They (Unbelievers) MAY come to Their (Unbelievers) Senses and ESCAPE The SNARE of The Devil (Satan), having been TAKEN CAPTIVE by Him (Satan) to DO His (Satan’s) Will.

2 Timothy 3:1-9

But KNOW THIS, that in The Last Days, Perilous Times WILL COME: For Men (Unbelievers) will be Lovers of Themselves (Unbelievers), Lovers of Money, Boasters, Proud, Blasphemers, Disobedient to Parents, Unthankful, Unholy, Unloving, Unforgiving, Slanderers, WITHOUT Self-Control, Brutal, Despisers of GOOD, Traitors, Headstrong, Haughty, Lovers of Pleasure, rather than LOVERS OF GOD (GOD Almighty), having a Form of Godliness (Knowing The TRUTH), BUT Denying its Power.  And from Such People (Unbelievers) TURN AWAY!  For of THIS SORT are Those (Unbelievers) Always Learning and NEVER able to come to The Knowledge of The TRUTH, who RESIST The TRUTH: Men (Unbelievers) of Corrupt Minds, DISAPPROVED Concerning The FAITH; but They (Unbelievers) will progress NO further, for Their (Unbelievers) Folly will be MANIFEST to All.

Titus 3:9-11

But AVOID Foolish Disputes, Genealogies, Contentions, and Strivings about The Law; for they are Unprofitable and Useless.  REJECT a Divisive Man (Unbelievers) AFTER The First and Second Admonition (Rebuke), KNOWING that such a person (Unbelievers) is WARPED and Sinning, BEING Self-Condemned.

Fellow Believers, These Scriptures, taken from Paul’s Epistles, GIVE Us (Believers) Paul’s Insight about The End Times (The Last Days).  As We (Believers) read through These Scriptures, We (Believers) can SEE that Paul was “spot on”, because He (Paul) Describes This Current World, Perfectly.  I pray YOU (Believers) take solace, in the fact that Jesus Christ REVEALED THIS, to Us (Believers), through Paul, so We (Believers) could KNOW what was coming and now is Already HERE!  Amen.
