2 Timothy 3:1

Verse 1

III. PREDICTION OF THE APOSTASY AT THE CLOSE OF THE APOSTOLIC AGE, AND CONFIRMATION OF TIMOTHY AGAINST IT, 2 Timothy 3:1-17.

1. False and demoralized character of the coming heretics, 2 Timothy 3:1-9.

1. This know Of this prediction we may note, 1. That 2 Timothy 3:5 shows that the apostasy described was to be in the Church; and, 2. That it should be in Timothy’s time. 3. 2 Timothy 3:9 shows that the apostasy would be exposed (not cut off) by the second advent of Christ. 4. The whole, with 2 Timothy 4:6, shows that it is to take place after St. Paul’s departure, (as in Acts 20:29, uttered to this same Ephesus,) and so at the close of the apostolic age.

Last days Note, 1 Timothy 4:1.

Perilous Difficult times for a Timothy to deal with.

Shall come Shall gradually set in.
