Anyone who studies Bible prophecy from the pre-Trib viewpoint and observes the issues and events under that great prophetic microscope must include the Apostle Paul’s “perilous times” forecast to comprehend this end-times panorama.
Here again is that prophecy: “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:1–5)
Analysis of the verses usually concentrate on the words used by Paul, including “men shall be…lovers of themselves, fierce and without natural affection.”
Certainly, this generation displays these characteristics in significant profusion. We’ve pointed out, for example, that posting “selfies” and creative narcissistic narratives on Facebook and other platforms indicates that this generation embraces the description “lovers of their own selves” given in this prophecy.
The characteristic “without natural affection,” we’ve noted, involves mothers aborting more than sixty million babies here in America. Also, it’s been pointed out that homosexuality and the transsexual victimization of children proves that this generation demonstrates that “without natural affection” trait as well.
We only have to look at the “wars and rumors of war” going on in the form of military conflict between warring nations, and at raging in the streets right here in America, to understand that we’re experiencing the characteristic Paul described as “fierce.”
All the “perilous times,” end-times descriptives are in play at this moment as we receive reports hourly of what’s going on in the world. But I’d like to look in particular at a couple of terms in Paul’s prophecy for the balance of the commentary: “trucebreakers,” “false accusers,” “traitors,” and “highminded.”
In my view, those words describe growing evidence encompassing the revealing of the false accusations and evil perpetrated within the so-called deep state over the past number of years. All the wicked subterfuge committed against, first, a presidential candidate, then the ongoing such activity against that man in his two separate presidencies, is on the verge of being proven, I believe.
I’m sure those doing the traitorous activity will no doubt still be claiming, despite the evidence, that it’s all just political rhetoric—or is otherwise framed as not believable.
To me, it reflects on the biblical prognosis, “Be sure, your sins will find you out” (Numbers 32:23).
The perpetrators of this traitorous subterfuge just might have been found out. The following might be the evidence that will prove the traitorous activity that has filled the headlines with lies for so many years.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama of orchestrating a “treasonous conspiracy” to undermine Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, making unprecedented allegations from the White House briefing room on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.
Speaking at 11:44 PM EDT, Gabbard alleged that Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment they knew was false regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election. The former Democratic congresswoman claimed Obama’s administration manufactured findings to promote the narrative that Russia interfered to help Trump win.
Following shortly thereafter, evidence was discovered that might prove true the charges made by the National Security Director.
FBI Director Kash Patel has uncovered a trove of long-hidden documents tied to the Trump-Russia investigation inside a secret room at FBI headquarters, according to sources familiar with the discovery who spoke with Fox News. The stash—found in so-called “burn bags” typically used to destroy sensitive materials—reportedly includes thousands of pages and computer hard drives, among them the classified annex to former Special Counsel John Durham’s final report.
Speaking in a June interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, Patel described locating the previously undisclosed room inside the bureau’s Hoover Building. “Comedy and others hid [this room] from the world…locked the key and hid access and just said, ‘No one’s ever gonna find this place,’” Patel said. He added the room was filled with documents and storage devices “that no one had ever seen or heard of.”
To me, this entire political cesspool smells of the Apostle Paul’s “perilous times” descriptions: “trucebreakers,” “false accusers,” “traitors,” and “high-minded.” That shouldn’t be surprising to those who seek truth in their study of Bible prophecy. As we discern prophetic stage-setting signals in every direction on the near horizon, so near the end of this Age of Grace, this great traitorous betrayal predicted by Paul is front and center. When we see “all these things beginning to come to pass,” then we understand it is time to “look up! Our Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, is drawing near!”
