Would you turn with me to 2 Timothy, the third chapter, 2 Timothy chapter 3?

Verse 1.

He said, this know also that in the last days perilous times shall come.

I just want to stop right there.

Now when he wrote this, if they didn't think they were in the last days,

I'm sure they thought they were close.

And that's been a long time ago.

And we know this for sure.

We're in the latest days anybody has ever lived.

These are as close to the last days as anybody's ever got so far.

And for all we know, could be the last to the last days as anybody's ever got so far. And for all we know, could be the last of the last.

The master could be much closer to coming than we even know.

Could it be next year?

Could it be next month?

Could it be tomorrow?

Well, I think we should live ready. Don't you? I don't think anybody has a leg to stand on to say, no, it's not going to be for another hundred years.

Even if it was, who said you got a hundred years? a year I think we should live ready I think we should be ready

either for him coming or for us leaving to meet him tonight I think not to do so is foolish and dangerous.

But he said there would be this progression that in the last days, what would happen?

Parallous times.

Any of your modern translations, what do they say instead of perilous?

Huh? Difficult. times any of your modern translations what do they say instead of perilous huh difficult stress terrible one word you could say is dangerous dangerous dangerous times the world is not a safe place
