So the desire to understand is not wrong.

When Jesus spoke about the end times in Matthew 24, Mark 13 are in Luke 21.

He described wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes increasing lawlessness, love growing cold, and false Christs bringing deception.

And as these words are read, it becomes clear these patterns are already visible in the world.

They have been increasing and will continue to increase.

Things will not become easier.

This must be understood clearly.

For those who want to stay purely optimistic, there is a need to stay grounded in truth.

To be realistic, to understand what God’s word actually says.

And according to that word, these things will continue to intensify.

And so for those of you who are still so focused on this world, this rat race, stop.

There is a need to be ready to follow Jesus Christ and not worldly pleasures.

Number six, the explosion of knowledge and travel.

This is one of the things that isn’t often discussed, but the Bible speaks about it.

There was a time when learning basic things in school already felt like entering the information age.

And then came the internet.

There were days of dialup connections with noise and long waits just to get online.

Today that struggle is gone.

Access is instant right from a phone and incredibly fast.

Now there is also AI.

All these developments, the rapid rise of technology have mostly happened within this generation.

Daniel 12:4 speaks about this increase in the end times.

Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end.

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.

In this lifetime, for it is possible to travel to nearly any country in just a matter of days where access is allowed.

There were years spent traveling across more than 20 countries, something that would have been nearly impossible just a few hundred years ago.

Today, transportation systems are more advanced than ever.

Cars, trains, air travel, and seaw routes.

This reflects not just gradual progress, but rapid expansion of movement and information on a global scale.

This is happening in this generation.

Now moving to number seven, scoffers and spiritual apathy.

Not only are there false teachers, even within movements that appear spiritual, being used to spread distorted teachings, but there is also a shift toward messages that focus only on motivation rather than truth.

And that is not to reject genuine expressions of faith or the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

But there is a difference between what is biblically grounded and what is not.

When truth is separated from scripture, the result is no longer aligned with God.

It becomes driven by human ideas or influenced by deceptive spirits.

And this has never been as widespread as it is now.

Then there are scoffers.

Evolutionary ideas began to spread and eventually became deeply embedded in education systems and universities.

Many are taught to believe that God did not create the world.

And these same voices often mock believers.

You believe in God.

You believe in the end times.

But scripture explains that spiritual truth cannot be understood without spiritual discernment.

And yet God loves all people, not their sin, but them.

And just as believers are called to love, the message continues to be shared, not with shame, but with conviction, because the gospel has the power to save.

Even when mocked or misunderstood, there is no reason to be ashamed.

The message is shared in truth, in love, and through the power of the Holy Spirit so that others may be saved.

At the same time, there is a noticeable spirit in the world, one that easily mocks, rejects, and resists what is spiritual.

Many cannot even see the difference.

But for those who believe, spiritual truth becomes visible everywhere.

World events begin to align with a biblical perspective.

For those who are not spiritually reborn, that perspective remains hidden.

Second Peter 3 says, “Scoffers will say everything continues as it always has.

” But Jesus said, “It would be like the days of Noah and Lot.

” Luke 17:26-30, a people eating, drinking, marrying, living normally, even in sin, right up until judgment came.

But it is not only about behavior.

It is also about the same kind of evil that existed in those days being released again during the time of great tribulation.

That is why scripture says it will be like the days of Noah.

Revelation 9 describes the opening of the bottomless pit where fallen angels once bound are released to torment humanity during that time.

These are the same beings described elsewhere in scripture.

Those who crossed boundaries that were set for them.

Second Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 both speak about this linking it to judgment and restraint.

Their appearances described in Revelation 9:7.

Locusts like horses prepared for battle with crowns like gold, faces like humans, hair like women, and teeth like lions.

It is also understood that many fallen angels are already present on earth.

A third of them rebelled long before humanity.

Jesus said he saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

And since then these forces have remained observing, learning, influencing.

Throughout history, many have even worshiped them as gods because of their supernatural nature and power.

But the question arises, why are some bound while others remain free? Those who were bound are described as those who crossed a specific line interacting with humanity in ways that led to the creation of the Nephilim.

Historical accounts of giants and demigods are often connected to this origin.

And because of that corruption, judgment came.

To understand the end, it is necessary to understand the beginning.

Without understanding how everything started, it becomes difficult to understand why things unfold the way they do.

That takes us back to the first prophecy in Genesis 3:15.

A prophecy given to the serpent, the ancient enemy.

It speaks of the seed of the woman crushing the serpent’s head while the serpent would bruise his heel.

But there is more, something often overlooked.

The conflict between these two lines, their seed, would continue throughout history.

This is reflected in repeated attempts across time to oppose Israel, to prevent the coming of the Messiah, to stop what was foretold.

Revelation 12 also describes this ongoing conflict.

And beyond that, there were rulers, kings, and powerful figures across nations who were connected to these ancient lineages.

Figures like Og, one of the last of the Rifaim, had continued to hold influence even after the flood, controlling regions and shaping human history.

And many who ruled believed themselves to be gods.
