In these last days evil will "wax worse and worse" as God says in His Word. We can expect everything to become irrational and mean spirited all the time. I think of Noah's time and also the time of Lot. These men lived with nearly no support for their godliness.
2 Timothy 3:1-5 "3 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,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Isaiah 5:20
"20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
The condition of the world in these last days does not have to devastate us, the joy that God envelopes us with as we walk through these wicked times, overwhelms the grief we feel that the world hates God and all His people.
Our joy is greater than our grief because we know the beginning from the end and God wins on all counts. Hallelujah!
