You were right.
Da 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
It is impossible to convince those to whom God has not given understanding, because they "Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine." The same companies that sell WWJD buttons and bumper stickers should now be retooling for bulk DOWNLOADS of WNESD replacements. The mockers, scoffers and those who scorn the things of God will not be given understanding.
Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
These are the days of Noah when the wicked did wickedly and "knew not" until the flood took them away. There is currently a flood from Satan's mouth (Rev. 12:15) in the land and a spirit of deception over the land like darkness that can be felt. Lot's sons-in-law mocked and were destroyed. Lot's wife looked back, loving the things of this world and was destroyed. The time to Repent is now! Much worse is to come because the preponderance of people have hardened their heart and lifted themselves up in PRIDE!
Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
The false prophets have come with their host of false doctrines and deceived MANY. Past tense! Many like Esau are going to be unable to find a place repentance.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine*; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Paul's prophecy in 2 Tim 4:3-4 is now fulfilled in your ears!
