1 Timothy 4:1
A Falling Away Predicted
SUMMARY OF I TIMOTHY 4: An Apostasy in Latter Times. Some of the Marks
of That Apostasy. Directions to Timothy in View of This. The
Preacher to Be an Example. To Take Heed to Himself.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly. In revelations made to Paul and
other inspired men. See 2 Thessalonians 2:3.
In the latter times. In future times. How far away is not indicated.
Some shall depart from the faith. There shall be an apostasy.
Compare 2 Thessalonians 2:3. Some of the marks of this apostasy are now given.
Giving heed to seducing spirits. The apostle seems to recognize
a preternatural element which speaks by false prophets, in false
utterances which claims to be from God. These seducing spirits might
work through hierarchs, who claimed to speak for God, or through
councils which claimed to make infallible utterances.
Doctrines of demons. Doctrines suggested by demons. The Greek
"daimonion", "demon", not "devil", always refers in the New Testament
to an evil spirit.
