Okay, so today I want to talk with you about that saying.

I'm sure you've heard it. It's always darkest before the dawn.

And I want to talk about this as it relates to Bible prophecy.

I think you would agree that the world today is becoming increasingly

evil with each passing day and is seemingly getting darker by the day.

Yay.

How's that for an introduction?

But God, like with the darkest period of the night being right before the sun rises, so too

is the darkest period of human history right before the sun rises, so too is the darkest period of human history right before

the sun returns. Sun capital S-O-N. Right before Jesus returns in the rapture of the church,

it will be the darkest period in the night in terms of human

history. However, this evil and evil like this will continue to get worse and the world will continue to get darker as the day fast approaches.

And here's why.

Bible prophecy tells us, warns us about how bad it will be right before the rapture of the church. And it's getting bad. I mean,

let's just be honest with ourselves. We cannot package this any other way than the reality

of what's happening. It's getting very dark and the world is becoming very evil.

But that's a good thing because as the world is becoming increasingly perilous and evil,

we can know that the rapture of the church is at the door.

Because again, the Bible tells us what the world is going to look like at the time of

the end.

I want to start with 2 Timothy chapter 3.

Beginning in verse 1, a very familiar passage.
