Revelation 3:17 (NKJV) Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. Other examples: Demas who was a fellow worker (Philemon 1:24), mentioned but no qualifier is used (Colossians 4:14), then left Paul (2 Timothy 4:10). Solomon…

Paul proceeds to instruct Timothy about the last days. Here, ‘last days’ refer to the end of the church age just before the Rapture and including the Tribulation.

The Holy Spirit reveals to Paul the conditions of life before Jesus returns for His church. It is both a warning and a sign. We must also not have these character traits and lifestyle. We Christians have the Scriptures for our worldview and lifestyle that Jesus wants for us. The Holy Spirit also gives…

Who is the false prophet? Who gives him his authority and power of miracles? Why would anyone believe him? What proof signs does he perform? How does he deceive? 11 Then I saw another savage beast ascending out of the earth. He had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon.…
