the living and the dead at His
appearing and His kingdom: 2 Preach
the word! Be ready in season and out

the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

"The words 'shall judge' more literally
are 'is about to be judging'; they point
to the fact that Paul was living in the

gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and

Jeremiah 2316 This is what the LORD of Heaven’s
Armies says to his people: “Do not
listen to these prophets when they
prophesy to you, filling you with futile
hopes. They are making up everything
they say. They do not speak for the
LORD!

17 They keep saying to those who
despise my word, ‘Don’t worry! The
LORD says you will have peace!’ And to
those who stubbornly follow their own
desires, they say, ‘No harm will come
your way!’

2Corinthians 215 For we are to God the fragrance of
Christ among those who are being saved
and among those who are perishing. 16 To
the one we are the aroma of death
leading to death, and to the other the
aroma of life leading to life. And who is
sufficient for these things?...

2Corinthians 3: 5 Not that we are

Spirit gives life. NKJV

The Biblical preacher will comfort the
afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.

The human heart works hard to fortify itself
against truth, creating rationalizations and
systems of thought to justify selfishness.
Unfortunately, there are teachers and leaders
who give people what they want to hear, tickling
their itching ears with curiosities that allow them
to remain untouched by God’s transforming
power. Larson, K. (2000). I & II Thessalonians, I & II Timothy, Titus, Philemon
(Vol. 9, p. 320). Nashville, TN: Broadman & Holman Publishers.

When I first came to California, the late Dr. Arno
C. Gaebelein, a great man of God who had
been a very outstanding teacher, wintered out
here in Pasadena, and I went to visit him. He
asked me how I liked California, and I replied, “I
love it here, but it’s very interesting that if I
teach the Book of Revelation, I can fill the
church (even during midweek service), but if I
begin teaching the Epistle to the Romans, I can
practically empty the church.
![Page 29: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I find there are people who will run all the way
across this area to find out from a speaker just
how many hairs are in the horse’s tail in
Revelation.” He then made a statement to me
that I shall never forget, “Dr. McGee, you’re
going to find out in your own ministry that there
are a great many people more interested in
Antichrist than they are in Christ.” McGee, J. V. (1991). Thru the Bible commentary: The Epistles (1 and 2

2Timothy 4 4 and they will turn their ears away from
the truth, and be turned aside to fables.
NKJV
![Page 31: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
When a man rejects God's truth, it isn't
that he believes in nothing: it’s that he
will believe in anything.
![Page 32: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Because of their “itching ears” they would
accumulate teachers who would satisfy their
cravings for things that disagree with God’s
truths. The fact that a preacher has a large
congregation is not always a sign that he is
preaching the truth.
![Page 33: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
In fact, it may be evidence that he is tickling
people’s “itching ears” and giving them what
they want to hear instead of what they need to
hear. It is but a short step from “itching ears” to
turning one’s ears away from the truth. Once
people have rejected the truth, they turn to
fables (myths).
![Page 34: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
It is not likely that man-made fables will convict
them of sin or make them want to repent! The
result is a congregation of comfortable, professing
Christians, listening to a comfortable, religious talk
that contains no Bible doctrine. These people
become the prey of every false cult because their
lives lack a foundation in the Word of God. It is a
recognized fact that most cultists were formerly
members of churches. Wiersbe, W. W. (1996). The Bible exposition commentary (Vol. 2, p.
254). Wheaton, IL: Victor Books.

Ephesians 411 Now these are the gifts Christ gave
to the church: the apostles, the
prophets, the evangelists, and the
pastors and teachers. 12 Their
responsibility is to equip God’s people
to do his work and build up the church,
the body of Christ.
![Page 36: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
13 This will continue until we all come to
such unity in our faith and knowledge of
God’s Son that we will be mature in the
Lord, measuring up to the full and
complete standard of Christ. 14 Then we
will no longer be immature like children.
We won’t be tossed and blown about
by every wind of new teaching.
![Page 37: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 'Essential Equipment' · 2Timothy 4 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing (epiphaneia)](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071212/60281d2e41a1585f0c19d873/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
We will not be influenced when people
try to trick us with lies so clever they
sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will
speak the truth in love, growing in
every way more and more like Christ,
who is the head of his body, the church.
