II Timothy Living at the End, in Detail, According to Apostle Paul
- a series by
Pastor Joseph Cortes
Join
Pastor Joseph Cortes using II Timothy 3
to hone in on exactly what the Apostle Paul was
urgently trying to communicate to Timothy regarding
how life would be just prior to the return of Jesus Christ.
Trust me, you'll recognize the signs.
This series highlights, and compares the King James Version next to
the
Greek translation, for an eye opening and astonishing picture the Holy
Spirit
outlines through Paul's letter to his protégé.
This is a riveting expose of the days
WE ARE LIVING IN!
II Timothy 3:1
King James Version "This know also, that in
the last days perilous times shall come."
Greek Translation "Be sure to know without
exception what I am about to say to you.
In the very last part of the last days, at the end of the age,
dangerous, unpredictable, harmful, uncontrollable high-risk
periods of time will come."
Perilous Times!
II Timothy 3:2(a)
King James Version "For
men shall be lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Greek Translation "People will be
self-consumed, self-absorbed, self-focused,
and in love with themselves more than anyone else."
Lovers of Their
Own Selves
II Timothy 3:2(b)
King James Version "For
men shall be
lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Greek Translation "Because of this, they
will hoard money for themselves
while giving very little help to others."
A Love of Money
II Timothy 3:2(c)
King James Version "For
men shall be
lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Greek Translation "These boasters are so
committed to their own self-promotion and agenda
that they are willing to exaggerate and lie if it will get them
the position, advantage, or agenda they desire."
Boasters!
"
II Timothy 3:2(d)
King James Version "For
men shall be
lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Greek Translation
"They are arrogant, snooty, and
high-and-mighty.
They mock, slander, and speak ill of anyone that stands
in the way of their plans.
Also, parents will no longer be able to persuade,
lead or exercise authority over their children."
Blasphemers and
Disobedient to Parents
II Timothy 3:2(e)
King James Version "For
men shall be
lovers of their own selves,
covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Greek Translation "Although they were once
thankful, people will become
void of gratitude for everything in the last days.
As a result, impurity will seep into society and cause it to
become unholy
— unholy, coarse, vulgar, offensive, crude, lewd, and rude,
living and carrying on in a way that God would never sanction.
Unthankful and Unholy
II Timothy 3:3(a)
King James Version "Without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"
Greek Translation "Love and commitment to
the family will diminish;
divorce will become epidemic, with irreconcilable differences
being the primary cause for separation.
The legal system will be overwhelmed as people
go overboard in suing others and being sued."
Without Natural
Affection, Trucebreakers,
False Accusers
II Timothy 3:3(b)
King James Version
"Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,"
Greek Translation "Without self-control,
savage and inhumane,
morally confused about right or wrong.
Offenders are protected, and the innocent suffer."
Savage and Inhumane
II Timothy 3:4 (a)
King James Version "Traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;"
Greek Translation "Traitors-betrayers. Many
will be preoccupied with and for their violence,
but all of this will pass. As a storm appears on the horizon
and brings destruction with it, these violent winds in society
will not last long. "
Traitors, Heady,
High-minded
