Second Timothy 3:1-7 vs 21^st Century Behavior by Anthony Joseph Hopkins November 16, 2021

       Let’s examine this information for the moment.  2^nd Timothy 3:1-7 says: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than  lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying its power, and from such people turn away!!  For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins led away by various lusts.  Always learning and never come to the knowledge of the truth.

       These seven verses that are located in 2^nd Timothy 3^rd Chapter 1-7 verses tells the truth about human behavior at its worse.  Whereas, 21^st Century behavior is similar to the seven verses inside of 2^nd Timothy but the language itself has changed.

       An example of the language that is used in the 21^st Century consists of acronyms.  Children are deceiving their parents on a daily basis.  For example, children are spending too much time with their friends.  The friends are drinking alcohol, and smoking marijuana.  Children in the 21^st Century are using electronic cigarettes.  Children in the 21^st Century are spending too much time away from the home.

       21^st Century behavior consists of parents being their children’s best friend.  Therefore, parental roles have changed.  21^st Century parents are too lenient with their children.  21^st Century parents cannot and will not punish their children in the same way they were raised as children.  Law Enforcement are involved in the 21^st Century household.

       21^st Century Parents tend to be younger than usual.  In Addition To the causing chaos inside of the 21^st Century is made up of a mother and her children.  The fathers that are involved in the 21^st Century children household are classified as sperm donors.  21^st Century households are at poverty level.

 21^st Century households have different fathers.  The reason why is because they did not have their fathers in their lives.  Inside of a 21^st Century household, the fathers are not around to take care of their children.  The mother of 21^st Century Children do not get along with their male counterparts.  The women who are raising children in the 21^st Century receive less money from child support.  In some cases, the men are spending time behind bars.  Inside of a 21^st Century household, vulgarities are exchanged between the father, mother, and children.

Some of the 21^st Century parents allow their children to be home alone.  The oldest child will have to babysit their younger siblings on a daily basis.  There is a big difference between the end times and 21^st Century Households.

 Some of what is written inside of the Bible speaks about the 21^st Century Household.  What is a 21^st Century Household is not a nuclear family.  It consists of a mother raising her children all by herself without help from anyone else.
