9. Moral Decay.
2 Timothy 3:1-4 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. [2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, _disobedient_ to parents, unthankful, unholy, [3] Without natural affection, _trucebreakers_, false accusers, _incontinent_, fierce, despisers of those that are good, [4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

10. Intemperance.
Matthew 24:37-39 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. [38] For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and _drinking_, _marrying_ and giving in _marriage_, until the day that Noe _entered_ into the ark, [39] And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

11. Economic Difficulties.
James 5:1-5 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. [2] Your riches are _corrupted_, and your garments are _motheaten_. [3] Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure _together_ for the last days. [4] Behold, the hire of the _labourers_ who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. [5] Ye have lived in _pleasure_ on the earth, and been wanton; ye have _nourished_ your hearts, as in a day of _slaughter_.

12. Overwhelming Cares of Life.

Revelation 14:6-7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the _everlasting_ gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, [7] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his _judgment_ is come: and _worship_ him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the _fountains_ of waters.

14. God Wants to Save Everyone.
2 Peter 3:8-10 But, beloved, be not _ignorant_ of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. [9] The Lord is not slack _concerning_ his promise, as some men count _slackness_; but is _longsuffering_ to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to _repentance_. [10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the _elements_ shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

[43] But know this, that if the _goodman_ of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have _watched_, and would not have _suffered_ his house to be broken up. [44] Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man _cometh_.
