People of the Last Days
Unless we are true followers of Jesus Christ, we will eventually become the kind of people the Bible describes as people of the last days.
The number of people that fit the description is growing. It is one of the most compelling signs that the end of mankind's rule is near, even if we didn't look at anything else.
For most of the history of the world there have been good people and bad people.
When bad people were in chage, good people were misused by the bad and the bad were empowered. Regular people were used and abused.
When good people were in charge the good could prosper and kept the bad in check. Regular people thrived.
But even then, the bad people usually still had love and respect for their family and their friends.
Jesus points this out.
"But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back."
Luke 6:32-34
But during the end time the evil doers--sinners--will be uncaring and cold hearted, even to their own.
When Jesus is talking about the end of the age and His return He tells of many terrible things that will build up to that end. This casting off of God's laws and replacing them with mankind's lawlessness will cause a change to the people's love, it will have a chilling effect.
"And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold."
Matthew 24:12
This is a description of end time people.
"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, 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, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!"
II Timothy 3:1-5
History has been filled with individuals that were self-obsessed. They caused all kinds of suffering, bloodshed, persecution and wars that the regular people had to deal with. But they were rare and when they were taken down, it took a while for another to come to power.
The people of the last days are going to be unlike any people of the ages before. And the scary thing is, that they are modern people, educated and indoctrinated by a self-centered view point.
Beccause the easiest way to make a generation, and then a population of people that are self-absorbed, is to take away all restraints, take away moral absolutes and all expectation of self-control.
It doesn't happen all at once, but it happens steadily. Any break in its progress does not stop the core deterioration of the people who fall for its lies.
Manipulation helps with core deterioration of a people, and a sneaky wat this is done is to proclaim personal happiness as an end all of existence and an excuse for any and all manner of sins.
Then true happiness becomes unattainable, because it is presented as an emotion. And because of that it is ever changing as the moods change. It will flicker as the emotions flicker and fade as the emotions fade.
True happiness is a choice made to live a life of contentment and gratitude--no matter our circumstances--it cannot be found in selfish pursuits.
Once personal happiness is held in such high esteem, the next step is to make oneself a god in ones own eyes. Because when nothing matters as much as a person's happiness that means that person must be godlike himself. It adds a Satanic touch, no less. And if you did not already guess, this is Satan's plans for the world.
Being controlled by emotions and feelings instead of being self-control makes this self-obcession complete.
This combination is the recipe for an end time personality. And believe it or not, that has been the goal and it has been the outcome of the modern world.
It is the personality that will welcome the Antichrist, who is in agreement with the darkness that dwells within those corrupt people.
Time will soon run out and each person's choice will be set.
Jesus is the only escape from this ever growing darkness within the souls of those who are following that path to destruction.
Stay strong! It is important to be aware of why you do what you do. Do not be snared by the traps Satan sets!
