2 Tim 4:2 [NIV] Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction.

2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.

2 Tim 4:4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

The problem with prophesy is always one of who, when and where. Who was Timothy saying this to, when and where?

Just because it has future tense does not mean it is yet to happen. Sure you can pull any scripture out and stand it up out of context, out of history, and make it say just about anything is going to happen, but that won't make it occur. Will it?
