It will be perilous times, Moses said, or it will be through actually throughout the Scripture up to the New Testament. But what is that description of the people of the end times? What does it say? Men shall be lovers of self. Is that self-familiar? There is more self-love in our culture than there has ever been in the history of the world. I don't just mean American. I mean modern culture. Self-love, self-realization, self-actualization, self-obsession, self-magazine, self-culture, self-preoccupation. Even the end time celebration of same-sex relations, that's self, that's same, same. In the church, the gospel has become, in many churches, is largely for the self. God is your counselor, God is your personal agent. He's going to help you. He's your personal trainer, and he's going to help you be more successful. That's not the gospel. God will bless you as you follow him, as he chooses to bless you. But it becomes a thing where are you serving God or is God serving you? You're seeking to be served by God. That is not what Jesus said. That's not what he said. He was served himself. No, I've come to serve others. But it ends up ultimately it's about self-self, but God wants for you and God wants for you. God will bless you, but put him first. Don't put yourself first. If you're just getting more, if that's all you're doing, you're getting more selfish in the name of God. That's not what God said. He said, give up, be self-less, love, and God will bless you. And even the church becoming, it says, what else does this say here? Men will be lovers of money, become more materialistic, more money-oriented. I was with an old-time minister the other day, and he was speaking about how, you know, and he said, in past I could, people just volunteered, volunteered, volunteered for the Lord's work. And he says, now people want to be paid for everything. And that is a shift. People want, what do I get out of it? Instead of just serving the Lord. God will bless you. He says, they want the reward now. They don't want it later. Men will be boastful, arrogant, culture of arrogance. Malicious culture, a vulgar, it's describing a vulgar culture, a harsh culture. How many people realize that? I don't know, depending on where you grew up, that we are in a vulgar culture, a culture that is vulgar, that's harsh, that's not gentle, that is destructive, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure, rather than lovers of God. Is that sound familiar? We're in it. And all those things are more so now than have ever been since the gospel came to Western civilization. Because there shall be a great falling away when you know before the Lord comes. Today, the New York Times and ABC News and others will refuse to even write the name of God with a capital G. They will not even give him the dignity of a first name. They'll treat him as if he was a pagan deity. Recently it came out, the top, they had to study the top ten books in schools that Americans viewed as most dangerous. One of the top ten was the Bible. Can you imagine that in a school system that was founded by the Puritans for the purpose of spreading the gospel? Imagine if the Puritans returned today to America to see what happened. They would be shocked. Every year in the last seven years, the numbers of those in America who identify as Christian at all, not saying born to get Christian, not saying evangelical Christian, not saying true Christian, but Christian has dropped by one percentage point every single year. Less than seven years, seven percent less. Now that may, I don't know, it seems to you, but that must be, you were talking about 2000 years. That must be the greatest mass change. We're witnessing the greatest mass change of morality in the history of the world. There's never been a change of morality this fast globally ever. It's like the undoing of the gospel when it came to this civilization. One millennial is heading to almost half saying they're not Christian at all. Then that's the future. How many millennials are evangelical? Nineteen percent, eighty-one percent? No. One poll sought to find out how many of the younger generation have a biblical worldview. The answer? One percent. Another translation of intimacy, it says they will be without natural affection. Without natural affection, interesting, they'll therefore be with unnatural affection. There's something about this, there's something at the end times that's linked to unnatural. The word when Paul says there'll be a great falling away, the word is apostasy. Apostasy comes from the Greek, apostasia. That is taken to mean and it does mean it means to move away from, fall away from your stand, fall away from faith is what it's saying here. But it means fall away from the stand of. But it also means to fall away from the state of or the state of being. In other words, in the same day when you see a culture, a civilization falling away from faith, from the faith, from the Word of God, you will also see man falling away from the state of man. Women falling away from the state of women. Marriage falling away from the state of marriage, you get it? A falling away from being in Daniel when he looks at the last global kingdom or the last great kingdom, that fourth creature, that fourth beast in Daniel. The word that's used to describe, first of all, it's a weird looking thing. It's the only one that has metal in it. It's like unnatural, it's artificial. But the word when it's described in Daniel, it says this creature was shaneh in Hebrew, which means it was different, it was diverse or it was altered. In other words, the end time civilization will be different from everything before it. The first creatures are all animal forms, but this one is beyond. So it's saying the end time civilization, last day civilization will be unnatural, be an unnaturalness, a dehumanness about it. We're watching that. So it's weird to watch people, when I go to airports now, every single person is plugged into something electronic. Unless they're very old, there's almost everybody is plugged into electronic something. Everybody is amazing. And yet we know we're using it, but you got to be careful where this is all going. We're using it, or are we getting so plugged in that we stop relaying? The younger generation, in many ways, they've done studies, they don't relate as much to others they relate through there, through that. So I'm looking to say, wow, and I'm typing this up and writing it down on my laptop as I do that.
