Bible Prophecy

The Generation'

of

Armageddon

Much information is given in the Bible concerning the 'character' of the generation who will drag the world into Armageddon.  Here, the Bible warns the generation of the coming "Apocalypse" will be characterized by moral corruption and violence  . . .

        Jesus warns, "But as the days of Noah were,

        so also will the coming of the Son of Man be . . ."

        (Matthew 24:37)

       "The Earth was corrupt (like smelly, rotting meat ... immoral) before God,

        and the Earth was filled with violence.

        So God looked upon the Earth,

        and indeed it was corrupt;

        for all flesh had corrupted their way on the Earth.

        And God said to Noah,

      ‘The end of all flesh has come before Me,

        for the Earth is filled with violence through them;

        and behold, I will destroy them with the Earth . . .’"

        (Genesis 6:11-13)

The character of a generation is not only revealed or reflected by reading or watching news reports of the global violence and immorality we are now seeing, it is also revealed by what entertains a generation  -  just take a look at the movies, television shows, video games, and internet sites to see what entertains this generation . . .

The Bible provides a description of the generation who will lead the world into the "Apocalypse" and Armageddon ...

   "But know this,

     that in the last days

     perilous (savage, fierce) times will come,

     for men   (mankind ... men and women)

     will be

     lovers of themselves,

     lovers of money,

     boasters,

     proud,      ("Puffed up" ... ""Nobody is going to tell me what to do!" ...  "I don't care what God says!")

     blasphemers   (mocking God and Jesus),

     disobedient to parents,   (will not respect authority)

     unthankful,

     unholy,

     unloving,

     unforgiving,

     slanderers,

     without self-control,

     violent (brutal),

     despisers of good, 

     traitors,

     headstrong,

     arrogant (haughty),

     lovers of pleasure       ("Feeding the lusts of their eyes and their flesh" ... "If it feels good ... do it!")

     rather than lovers of God,

     having a form of godliness    (professing a belief in some "god"... even going to a church or synagogue)

     but denying its power ... "  (God's power to comfort, heal, and save (from Hell) ... and judge and condemn)

     (2 Timothy 3:1-5) 

The Bible also warns the generation of wrath will be characterized by lying and deception, "deceiving and being deceived" ...

 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come . . . (we are now in those "perilous times")

   Evil men and impostors  (imposters who profess to be Christian or Jew)

   will grow worse and worse,

   deceiving (lying)

   and being deceived." 

   (2 Timothy 3:1, 13)

The Scriptures tell us God cannot lie and He hates all lies.  God says truth is non-negotiable and is fundamental to His law.  In the past, liars and perjurers were held accountable and dealt with harshly and severely.  Today we see lying casually accepted in the news, in the movies, and on television.  Lying is now being presented as harmless and funny.  This generation is unique in its reaction to liars and perjurers.  This nation even lifted up and still glorifies a recent President whose most notable characteristics were flagrantly staring into a TV camera lying and deceiving ... and then later being convicted of criminal perjury.  This generation mocks our rules of law.  This generation mocks God's Law.  As noted, telling the truth is fundamental to God’s law.  In the Bible we find when a nation and its leader(s) defiantly mock, ignore, and turn their backs on God’s law, God will turn His back on that nation and will remove His protection and blessings from that people.   God help us.   The future of that nation and people is always very, very grim . . .

        "And as it is appointed for men to die once,

         but after this the judgment"   (There is no reincarnation ... and no 'Purgatory')

         (Hebrews 9:27)
