Bible Prophecy tells us that in the last days perilous
times will come. Drug overdose deaths are beyond epidemic and lend to the
evidence that we are in end times.
According to the CDC Deaths from prescription opioids—drugs like oxycodone,
hydrocodone, and methadone—have more than quadrupled in the United States as a
whole since 1999.5
The deaths are not just limited to the United States but also across the
Atlantic. The United States is third in
overdose deaths behind Estonia and Iceland.
What is happening?
The pharmaceutical companies are
in part to blame in and in some US states are being sued for their contribution
to the epidemic. Addiction.com reports:
According
to Fortune magazine, an estimated 254 million opioid prescriptions
were filled in 2010 alone, enough to medicate every adult in the U. S. for a
month on a round-the-clock basis. In that same year, pharmaceutical companies
generated revenues of $11 billion from opioid sales alone.
This drug epidemic
lines line with what is predicted in end time Bible Prophecy. It fulfills the prediction of “people being
lovers of pleasure’ foretold in 2 Timothy 3:1-5. and also fulfils within the
passage that people will be lovers of money.
Greed,
that’s right the money earned from selling the drugs whether from
Pharmaceutical companies or from the illegal drug dealers. Those who
profit from selling the drugs are in it for the money and those who take the
drugs are in it for pleasure. It is out
of control, way out of control, epidemic, beyond epidemic.
These are frightening times! The
drug epidemic is taking our loved one from us, destroying our families and then
those destroyed by a love addicted love one sometime repeat the cycle and even
more people are hurt in this giant Tsunami spreading around the globe from
addiction. Part of its fuel is greed, the love of money at the expense of the
lives of others.
The only hope in these end times is in Jesus Christ.
As we see the predictions of the last days
unfold, as we get closer to the Tribulation, the times are growing more immoral
and perilous.
The epidemic of addiction
is a peril and we do not know which one of our family members will fall next in
its grip. Many now suffer from the
deaths of a loved one lost to an overdose.
Family members suffering the loss of the addicted sometimes fall into addiction
and death themselves resulting from the grief they cannot bear caused by the
addicted family member. Sadly, this is not going to get any better, it will
continue at this pace right until the start of the Tribulation.
