"2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV
This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; [5] Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
Let's view the chronicles of events of the last days, relatively with the kind of characters and behaviors that will enhance these events.
The time of these events are regarded as dangerous times or perilous times.
What characterizes this period?
Love for self - Jesus taught us to love, but when a kind of love becomes a sign of danger you should know it's crossing path with God's will. It means people will solicit love for humanity above love for God.
Another is covetousness - people will become less satisfied, as their heart lust more after, what is not theirs. Lust, for other people's spouses, property, things in vogue, current world's fashion and ideologies. Even the churches are fast embracing the world's ideas to make the church lively.(1 John 2:15 KJV
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.) You can be sure the love of God is gone when the worldly achievements becomes your priority.

Boasters - boastful and talkative, people who makes a lot of noise over every little achievement they make.
Proud - feeling mighty cozy in self-worth, or self achievements. This is what we see everywhere, even among the so called believers.
Ponder on these few signs, hope you've not been exhibiting any of such? Remember these are dangerous signs of the End time.(Matthew 24:12 KJV
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.)

Prayer: Lord purge me from every strange sign my life is exhibiting in Jesus name.
Remain blessed
