2 Tim 3:1-5 Amplified Bible
For the point of impacting our understanding of the severity of the times in which we live, compare the
above list of what “men will be” with the chart below. What you will find is a contrast of what God seeks
from His people via the Beatitudes of the Word of God, to the opposite attitudes found in people
(believers and unbelievers) who prefer to have their character formed by the world in which we live:
THE BEATITUDES THE ATTITUDES
OF OF
THE KINGDOM THE KINGDOMS
OF GOD OF THIS WORLD
POOR IN SPIRIT FULL OF PRIDE
MOURNING FULL OF MIRTH
MEEKNESS FULL OF SELF
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
RIGHTEOUSNESS JUDGMENTAL
MERCIFUL DECEITFUL
TROUBLEMAKER
PURE IN HEART PERSECUTORS
PEACEMAKER
PERSECUTED
Perhaps we can now begin to see why Jesus stated so vividly that truth is a sword of conflict capable
of even separating blood relatives from one another!
"DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME “DO YOU SUPPOSE
TO BRING PEACE ON EARTH. THAT I CAME TO GIVE
PEACE ON EARTH? I TELL YOU,
I DID NOT COME NOT AT ALL, BUT RATHER DIVISION.
TO BRING PEACE BUT A SWORD. FOR FROM NOW ON
FIVE IN ONE HOUSE WILL BE DIVIDED:
FOR I HAVE COME TO 'SET A THREE AGAINST TWO, AND TWO
MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AGAINST THREE. FATHER WILL BE
A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER DIVIDED AGAINST SON AND SON
MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN- AGAINST FATHER, MOTHER AGAINST
LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN- DAUGHTER AND DAUGHTER AGAINST
MOTHER, MOTHER-IN-LAW AGAINST
LAW'; HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AND
AND 'A MAN'S ENEMIES WILL BE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER
THOSE OF HIS OWN MOTHER-IN-LAW.“
HOUSEHOLD.’' Luke 12:51-53
Matt 10:34-37
