The Prophecy of the Perilous Times. The Prophecy of the Perilous Times. This prophecy is found in 2 Tim. 3 and is another delineation of the professing church in the last days. It is particularly to be noted that the verses we are about to consider, describe not mankind in general but Christendom in particular. Note now the several lines in this picture.
Lengthy comment is needless.
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Our average church-member is as greedy and grasping as the worldling. Instead of parents ruling their children, children now rule their parents, and, of course, the parents are to blame. This failure to exercise parental authority, this rebellion in the young which will brook no restraint, is the certain forerunner of the downfall of the State, fostering, as it does, the spirit of lawlessness. God's providential mercies unappreciated.
