1 Timothy 4:1-6

A.

Paul had just summed up the “mystery of godliness” (1TI 3:16). He here essentially contrasts that
with a detailing of the “mystery of iniquity” (2TH 2:7).
What follows is an expressly spoken prophecy pertinent to the latter times.
1.
Expressly: In full detail; in direct or plain terms, clearly, explicitly, definitely.
2.
Latter: Belonging to a subsequent or comparatively advanced period; later.
3.
There is no way from this text alone to be specific as to what exact time frame is under
consideration.
