An Exhortation to Our Beloved Youths
The Apostle Paul warned that men and women in our generation, living in the last days prior to our Lord’s 2nd Coming, would be “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:4b). They would turn a cold shoulder to the worship of God, to holy living, to sobriety. They are drunken and neglect to give honour and glory to God with their hearts and bodies. It is a sad but sobering truth. This is just one of eighteen characteristics of a wayward lifestyles highlighted in 2 Timothy 3:1-4.

Daniel 11 (KJV)
Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
