1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,800
All right, my Bible in 365. 
Brothers and sisters, we have 

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,680
arrived at the book of Second 
Timothy and boy, oh boy, oh boy 

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,840
do I love this letter. 
This is one of my favorites. 

4
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,400
Why? 
Because it deals with the end 

5
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,880
times on so many levels. 
And I'm going to just jump right

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,600
into Second Timothy Chapter 3. 
I'm going to point out a few 

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,200
very extensive things that it 
says, and then I'm going to tell

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:37,120
you why we should all be paying 
very special attention to this. 

9
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,360
Now, it goes without saying, if 
you want to know more about my 

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,160
teaching through this, you want 
to get into a little bit more of

11
00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:49,360
some extensive background and 
some more insight, I highly 

12
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,000
advise you go to jamescadis.com.
There's a lot that's there. 

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960
I have a lot on my YouTube 
channel and we do talk about 

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,400
this at length in some of the 
previous insights that we give 

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,840
you here at Bible in 365. 
You can find many of my reviews 

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,080
for second Timothy in the past. 
Now let's look at this. 

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,680
I want to read the very 
beginning of Second Timothy 

18
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,560
chapter 3 verse one. 
It says, know this also, that in

19
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,880
the last days perilous times 
shall come, for men shall be 

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,800
lovers of their own selves, 
covetous boasters, proud 

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,600
blasphemers, disobedient to 
parents. 

22
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,920
I'm thankful, unholy, without 
natural affection, 

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,840
trucebreakers, false accusers, 
incontinent, fierce despisers of

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,200
those that are good traitors, 
heady, high minded, lovers of 

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,280
pleasure more than lovers of 
God. 

26
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Sound familiar? 
This is the world that we're 

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,400
living in. 
We are in these last days. 

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,200
And by the way, there's a phrase
here without natural affection. 

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Many people say that this refers
to homosexuality, and certainly 

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,920
that does fall in that category.
But without natural affection 

31
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,080
can refer to the mindset that 
calls the phrase or uses the 

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:07,000
phrase justice within context of
abortion, which is murder. 

33
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400
It's unbelievable. 
The world that we are in right 

34
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,640
now and literally everything the
Bible said would happen is. 

35
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,960
Actually happening. 
This is one that's really 

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,880
interesting. 
Think about this, when it comes 

37
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,520
to academia, verse 7, ever 
learning and never able to come 

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160
to the knowledge of the truth Is
that the time that we're living 

39
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,680
in today? 
The answer to that is yes. 

40
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:35,800
That is a big yes. 
Now I want to jump down because 

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,640
this is so important and I want 
you to understand what is 

42
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:45,800
actually saying what what I'm 
not editing this video. 

43
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,600
What the apostle Paul is saying 
here. 

44
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Let's skip down to verse 10. 
He says, But thou has fully 

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,360
known my doctrine, manner of 
light, purpose, faith, 

46
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,960
long-suffering, charity, 
patience, persecutions, 

47
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,240
afflictions which came unto me 
at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, 

48
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,520
what persecutions I endured, but
out of them all the Lord 

49
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,280
delivered me. 
Now look what he says about the 

50
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,000
last times. 
This is what he's talking about,

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,960
the last days. 
He says, yay, and all that will 

52
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,840
live godly in Christ Jesus shall
suffer persecution. 

53
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,040
Folks, that is the day that we 
are living in right now. 

54
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,880
We know the Bible says that in 
the last days we will see an 

55
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,240
increase in the persecution of 
Christians and Jews, and this is

56
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,240
where we get the reference to 
Christians. 

57
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Zechariah chapter 12 is where we
get the reference to Jews. 

58
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,080
It is happening, it's right in 
front of us, it's taking place. 

59
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:49,840
And he goes on to say, But evil 
men and seducers shall wax worse

60
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,040
and worse, deceiving and being 
deceived. 

61
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200
But I want you to notice what he
says. 

62
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,960
He says, Continue thou in the 
things which thou has learned 

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,160
and has been assured of knowing 
of whom thou has learned them. 

64
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,160
And look what he says He says, 
and that from a child thou has 

65
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,120
known the Holy Scriptures which 
are able to make thee wise unto 

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,040
salvation through faith which is
in Christ Jesus. 

67
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,839
And when you look at the next 
verse, this is the inspiration 

68
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,560
for what we do here at Bible in 
365. 

69
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,120
This is where it's all AT and 
this is what you need. 

70
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,480
This is the answer to the 
craziness of the days in which 

71
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,040
we are living. 
And look what it says in verse 

72
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200
16. 
It says all Scripture is given 

73
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760
by inspiration of God. 
But notice this, and is 

74
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,040
profitable for doctrine, and for
reproof, and for correction, for

75
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,200
instruction in righteousness, 
that the man of God or woman may

76
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,160
be perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works. 

77
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,840
We're living in the last days. 
The times are getting crazier. 

78
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
They're not getting better. 
The world is getting. 

79
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,960
Darker. 
They're not getting brighter. 

80
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Things are. 
Changing. 

81
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,720
And they are undoubtedly for the
worse. 

82
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,440
But the time will come when God 
will bring His righteousness, 

83
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,840
His justice into the picture, 
and He will make all things 

84
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,320
right. 
Until that time comes, the Bible

85
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,720
says we're to go to the 
scriptures. 

86
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,960
Why? 
Because the scriptures was given

87
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,960
by inspiration of God and it. 
Is profitable? 

88
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,600
It is profitable for what? 
For doctrine. 

89
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,920
For reproof, for correction, 
instruction, and righteousness, 

90
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,320
It gives us everything that we 
need, that there may be a full 

91
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,600
encapsulation of all that is 
necessary to carry ourselves 

92
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,800
through these last days. 
Again, it thoroughly furnishes 

93
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,760
us unto all good, good works. 
And if our desire and our heart 

94
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,760
is to do the right thing, if it 
is to seek the Lord, if it is to

95
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,480
put Him first, we must go to His
Word. 

96
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,440
To find these things. 
My mom. 

97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,120
And my dad are with the Lord 
right now and one of the most. 

98
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Valuable gifts. 
They ever gave me as their child

99
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,520
is the word of God, because the 
word of God has transformed me 

100
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,840
literally in every way. 
It has equipped. 

101
00:06:24,840 --> 00:06:27,360
Me in ways. 
I never thought possible. 

102
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,760
It's taught me how to be a good 
father. 

103
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,600
A good husband. 
It's taught me how to be a wise 

104
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,120
pastor and leader. 
It's given me wisdom in areas 

105
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880
from my finances all the way to 
my relationships. 

106
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,320
God has given me everything that
I need through His Word to 

107
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,560
become all that He has intended 
for me to become, and I have. 

108
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760
Great news for you. 
He's given you His word that you

109
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,640
may become everything that He is
intended for you to become. 

110
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Why? 
Because He's good, and as God He

111
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,240
wants. 
To give. 

112
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,480
You that. 
Goodness, He wants to cover you 

113
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440
in abundance. 
He wants to remove you from the 

114
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,240
poverty mentality of sin, and He
wants to bring you into the 

115
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,080
abundance mentality, the riches 
of His knowledge. 

116
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,800
He wants to give you all that 
you need to become everything 

117
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,240
that you can be in this world. 
To serve Him and to grow in Him.

118
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,720
And folks, I got great news for 
you. 

119
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,960
There's a lot of good to do. 
God's not done with you, and for

120
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,840
you the absolute best is yet to 
come. 

121
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,040
And I want to make a comment 
there are. 

122
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Many people that watch me. 
And watch us here at Bible in 

123
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040
365 that are. 
Actually older, at least what we

124
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,520
would call older, the more 
mature generation, perhaps one 

125
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,240
of the most valuable generations
that's ever existed. 

126
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,960
And I want to tell you folks 
especially. 

127
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,120
And I don't know why I have it 
on my heart, but I do. 

128
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,120
I want you to understand that 
the best parts of your life are 

129
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,480
ahead of you and not behind you 
and for. 

130
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,160
Each and every single one of 
you. 

131
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,960
The best is yet to come. 
Go back to the scriptures 

132
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,280
because it will also always. 
Remind you of that? 

133
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,600
Fact. 
Stay with the scriptures. 

134
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480
Look. 
To the scriptures, because for 

135
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,640
you God has great things in 
store. 

136
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280
For all of us, God has great 
things in store. 

137
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,040
The best is yet to come. 
For all of us because God is 

138
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,360
good. 
So let's get out there. 

139
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Let's fight the good fight. 
And let me just simply say this.

140
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,680
I am so. 
Incredibly proud of you guys. 

141
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,240
You're amazing. 
So with that said, stick to the 

142
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Word of God. 
Always look. 

143
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,520
To him and fight the good fight.
