2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good.
Many people wonder at the phenomenon of mass shootings that have overspread the land, and others are perplexed, and dismayed by the wanton taking of human life, often by young adults and even those in their teens. The reasons for this are simple: “Our chickens are now coming home to roost”.
When through secular philosophies and practices we weaken the hands of parents, when the kids are encouraged to call the cops on their parents, when correction is indeed due, and when parents are found cowering in fear because they prefer to avoid unpalatable duties then we will have a toxic mix on our hands. Unwarranted leniency, and unbridled evil tendency in kids who should have been corrected when there was opportunity to do so, have contributed greatly to the over 178 mass shootings across the U.S so far for this year alone.
But the phenomena does not stop there, for as the human agent loses respect for parents, man, and all duly appointed leaders, they go a step further in the total disregard for God Himself, and thus, we’ve had many mass shootings in churches, synagogues, and mosques, phenomena that was almost unheard of in the not too distant past.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
