The bible says in the last days before the Rapture of the bride_ people would start to go crazy!2nd Timothy 3:1, “This know also, that in the LAST DAYS perilous times shall come...”
Increasingly, we are hearing people talk about “The Last Days” or “The End of the World,” and for good reason, because the wickedness is so horrible nowadays. The newsmedia is filled with so much horrible stories and hatred, and the media has no hesitation about destroying someone's life with their manure spreading. Society has become ruthless, craving the bloodiest and most horrid stories in the news... give us more, more, more!
The word “perilous” in 2nd Timothy 3:1 means “hard to endure, dangerous, difficult to bear.” Hence, God is warning us that mankind will spiritually deteriorate in the Last Days, to the point where it will be difficult to bear.
It is getting scary out there.
In order for society to function properly, we need to be able to assume that most people are going to behave rationally. And when I was growing up, it was generally safe to make that assumption. But now things have completely changed. No matter how hard one may try, there is simply no avoiding the hordes of crazy people that seem to be taking over our society. It is almost as if millions of us never learned the basic rules for how civilized people should treat one another. Sometimes this manifests in behavior that is simply rude, other times it manifests in behavior that is actually dangerous, and if you are really unlucky you will personally encounter someone that has fully embraced depravity on a level that most of us never even want to think about.

I don't know if there is a single reason this is happening. I think violent video games with no morals effects young people. It is not so much violence, but violence for the sake of being violent. There is no absolute right or wrong. You can be the cop or the murderer, thief, hit man, rapist, etc., and put yourself in that place. You can be the one trying to escape justice, and make the good people the enemy.
You have all the foolishness on YouTube, where people go viral with their videos for doing the dumbest things. The more outrageous, the better, and you are rewarded for acting stupid. Our media is actually teaching us that what used to be normal behavior is not necessarily something we need to hold to. Christians and those who have faith in God are made to look bad. Parents are not around to raise their own children because both parents are working and their kids are raised by a day care center and when the parents are around, kids are raised by the television. All of what I am mentioning are symptoms of a society that has turned their back on God and His order. When we do things our own way rather than God's way, we are going to have problems.

on one hand we could for sure say we cant pin down one single reason , I mean they are too many . BUT THEN let us remember THIS SCRITPURE . AS EVEN as they DID NOT LIKE to RETAIN GOD in their conscious so HE gave them over to such reprobate things . THERE IS THE REASON .

Amen....the lunatics are running the asylum more than ever now.....God's judgment. And I believe this is to refine and try the church as well.....because it badly needs it.

Scary what people are being entertained and titillated by these days.....it's like hell is rushing in through the gates with no hearing of the word of God being raised against it. Sometimes I think an EMP strike would be a great mercy to shut it all down.

Sometimes I think an EMP strike would be a great mercy to shut it all down. I counsel thee to buy of me GOLD TRIED N THE FIRE , all whom I love I chasten and scourge , be zealous therefore and repent . I simply pray may many be zealous and repent . And also even when GOD allows great persecutions against the true lambs , IT ONLY grows our faith in HIM more . So no matter what is coming , may all be zealous for the LORD and may all receive his correction and the growth in faith . A persecuted church is not a defeated church , and though it may appear in the eyes of men that they are winning , REALLY the church is be REFINED and growing . And the lambs shall do exploits through it all , pointing to JESUS and persecutions will only further the gospel too . For no matter where we RUN , JESUS IS WITH US and HIS LIGHT will be seen and some , some will see it and repent .
