In 2 Timothy 3, Apostle Paul writes about the last days that will be perilous. And we should sit up and take note, because perilous denotes something which holds danger, thus there are things that will happen that will pose a danger unto believers, but at the same time, believers must also avoid such pitfalls lest they become perilous (a danger) to others. Perilous also speaks of great stress and trouble. If one looks at the world today, we have for a long time been living in such perilous times. We are certainly in the times of 1 Timothy 6:10 which says "for the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Yes, people in this world have become unthankful, greedy, covetous and unholy. In such times, we need to learn how to overcome such great deception as the Body of Christ!
