Check around you, do you see these things play out today? It's a clear indication that the end is nearer than assumed.
An Untoward generation is a perverse, corrupt generation that does not and is not ready to hearken to the voice of God. This is the type of generation that Peter advised people to avoid.
It is not in the plan of God to see any of His child end up in hell. It is in the mind of God to give us the content and the effects of the end time in the life of a child of God. The end time has no effect on the devil, this is because the devil is out advertising his markets to his own children. But it is the position of the church never to buy his products. The spirit of end time brings life of comparison between or among people, wanting to be and act like the other. Every additional negative ingredients demotes the standard of God. It is the end time spirit that makes a child to believe that he his wiser than the father.
Betrayal is also another spirit of the end time. But there is a call on the church to rise and live up to the expectations that it was called, serving as a salt of the earth which brings good taste to those living in the dark.
God addresses us(the church) as a chosen generation even when we've derailed and not worthy to get close to Him. By that, He expects us to accept and claim decency to live a life reflecting His acceptance of us. Our praises and sacrifices can only be acceptable to Him if we live to show forth His marvelous light. We cannot dwell in sin and in the spirit of end time to praise God. No, never!
