2 Timothy 3:1 Cross References - Worsley

¹ But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times;

³ Let not any one deceive you by any means; for it shall not come till there come an apostasy first, and the man of sin be revealed, ⁴ the son of perdition, who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or the object of worship; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. ⁵ Do ye not remember, that when I was with you, I told you these things? ⁶ And ye know what now hindereth him from being revealed in his own time. ⁷ For the mystery of iniquity is already working, only there is one that hindreth till he be taken out of the way. ⁸ And then the wicked one shall be detected, whom the Lord will destroy by the breath of his mouth, and abolish by the brightness of his coming: ⁹ who comes, through the efficacy of Satan, with all kind of lying power, and signs, ¹⁰ and wonders, and with all iniquitous fraud, among those that shall perish; because they received not the love of the truth, by which they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this cause God will send upon them the efficacy of error, so that they shall themselves believe the lie: ¹² that they may all be condemned, who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in iniquity.

¹ And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour: ² and I saw the seven angels, that stood before God; and seven trumpets were given to them. ³ And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to Him much incense, that He might present it with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar, which was before the throne. ⁴ And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the hand of the angel, before God. ⁵ And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth: and there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an earthquake. ⁶ And the seven angels, that had the seven trumpets, prepared themselves to sound their trumpets. ⁷ And the first angel sounded his trumpet, and there was hail and fire mingled with blood, and it was cast down upon the earth: and a third part of the trees and every green herb was burnt up. ⁸ And the second angel sounded, and I saw as it were a great mountain on fire cast into the sea, and a third part of the sea became blood. ⁹ And a third part of the creatures in the sea, that had life, died; and a third part of the ships were destroyed. ¹⁰ And the third angel sounded, and there fell from heaven a great star burning like a torch, and it fell upon a third part of the rivers, and the fountains of waters: and the name of the star is Wormwood; ¹¹ and a third part of the waters became as wormwood: and many men died of the waters, because they were bitter. ¹² And the fourth angel sounded, and a third part of the sun was smitten, and a third part of the moon, and a third part of the stars; so that the third part of them was darkened, and the day lost a third part of it's light, and the night likewise. ¹³ And I beheld, and heard an angel flying in the midst of heaven saying with a loud voice, Wo, wo, wo to the inhabitants on the earth from the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, that are yet to sound.
