Actually, there is not a reformation(revival?)happening.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times will come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boaters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy...having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.(II Timothy 3:1,2,5)."For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine! But after their own lust shall they heap to themselves teachers having itching ears; and they shall turn their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables." (II Timothy 4:3,4).
Paul's last days speak of apostacy--not reformation
I spoke the other night with a great saint of God...90 yrs old! She is still praying for revival but understands this is not likely as things continue to play out and deceptions are so easily accepted today.
There just doesn't seem to be any discernment of evil and that which opposes the things of God these days. Obama’s election is telling of the mindset of the people....they are easily deluded today.
I'm sorry you're unaware of the exciting things God is doing, today, in millions of American families. The future is bright, since God is preparing such a remarkable younger generation to serve Him in it.
As for the scripture verse you misuse, let's look at the context. The old missionary is writing a final letter to his one faithful protege, the one man he is most counting on to continue his work. He is giving this younger pastor advice that the younger pastor needs. The older man has a date with the executioner, and wants to make every word count.
So, he takes a break from instructing, admonishing, and encouraging the younger pastor, to speculate on stuff that won't happen for the next few thousand years ...
Right. And I have some Florida property to sell you.
Give thought to the possibility that Paul was writing to Timothy in his epistle to Timothy. Consider the remote possibility that maybe, Paul was giving Timothy the sage counsel that Timothy needed when facing the issues of his age.
Perhaps, the "last days" (plural) were the forty-year overlap era, between the inauguration of the New Covenant, and the final discarding of the trappings of the Old Covenant.
