The Bible foretold that wicked conduct would prevail in “the last days.”?

Human wrongdoing has become so widespread that these truly are “critical times.

Do you believe this, or is it meant to scare us: Human wrongdoing has become so widespread that these truly are “critical times.?

    Like Wayf already point out only people ignorant of history can believe that.

    Is and old fear tactic used many time just write first by someone in Assyria at 2800 B.C...“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching.” sure the book part is wicked.

    Are you aware that for example slavery was legal in almost all places and you can kill slaves if you want. That people get crucified by the thousand just for question or doubt the authority ask Jesus about that. That people with not curable decease where ostracized or killed... that sound wicked. Rape was made ok if you pay the father and married the victim that sound wicked... and critical if you ask me

    Yes. And I can accurately predict who will win the World Series in 1952.

    From beginning to end, literally every single chapter is about the wicked conduct of people. Now why WOULDN'T the same book therefore predict wicked behavior at "the end"? It's a common cult tactic: use fear, guilt, and shame to make people feel fearful and immoral so they will follow along.

    Generally only idiots and children fall for it.

    Only people who are ignorant of history believe this manure. I can sit here and type out a lengthy answer, full of historical facts that point directly to the savage behavior of humanity in the past, but it will be senseless when people still see "hate, insults, immorality, obscenities, mental illness, etc" as the worst humanity can come up with.

    Humans have been doing wrong since before the Bible was written.

    No more today than 2000 years ago.

    If you want to believe these are the "last days" that is your choice.

    With a free society , and law enforcement to protect people's rights people are able to do pretty much do what ever they want . And until I am able to communicate a truth to them they will probably end up in eternal hell . But , in spite of all my credentials found here in YA the present spiritual and religious organizations wont allow me to do this .

    Times have been worse. The French Revolution, the industrial revolution, and World War I for example.

    Oh stop. "Wrong doing" was much more prevalent in previous centuries. Slavery, subjugation of races, women as chattel, exploitation of the poor and more were all much more prevalent in the past.

    Satan's control of Earth was designed to kill us all. He does not want to build, for he has lost all his challenges to God's Right to rule his creations. All Satan has left is to deprive Jehovah God of any worshipers by getting him to kill all the people failing to worship as the Bible lays out clearly.

    Everlasting life for all those worshiping as he has approved. But eternal death for any who refuse. Do human landlords put up with very difficult tenants forever? It do they evict them ASAP?
