2 Timothy 3:2-4
After the Rapture, All Men Shall Be . . .
- lovers of their own selves--selfish, self-centered, seeking to please self
- covetous--lovers of money, greedy, worshiping the dollar bill
- boasters--those who love to brag about themselves and about what they are going to do
- proud--a person who considers himself above others and tries to lift himself above others, even if it means stepping on others
- blasphemers--those who speak against God, and drag His good Name into the mud, and speak of God in an irreverent way
- disobedient to parents--those who do not obey or honor their parents, those who are rebellious in the home
- unthankful--ungrateful, not appreciating all the blessings received, not thankful for all of God’s goodness (Rom. 1:21)
- unholy--no respect for anything that is sacred
- without natural affection--without that love and affection that should be shown in the family (the love that a mother has for her child, that a father has for his son, or that a young person should have for his brother or sister or parents)
- trucebreakers--those who refuse to make peace, who would rather be at war with you, who would rather be your enemy than your friend
- false accusers--those who say false things about a person
- incontinent--not having self control
- fierce--savage, brutal, untamed like a wild animal
- despisers of that which is good--no love for what is good and right
- traitors--one who betrays another (like Judas), pretends to be your friend but later he lets you down and is not your friend at all
- heady--those who do things in a hasty way without much thinking; they will act first and think later
- high-minded--puffed up, swollen with pride, conceited
- lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God--pleasure seekers rather than God-seekers
NOTE: Revelation 3:10 reveals the Rapture of the true Church; Revelation 3:14-20 describes the church which has excluded Jesus Christ. The description above applies to those professing believers who will be left behind.
