The love of money is where you want more than your modest needs,for the sake of having it to heap it,and for possessions,which is mainly for bragging,for why would a billionaire care if they have all that money if he were the only one on earth,for he would have no one to say to,look what I achieved,and I am better than you.
God said there are greedy dogs which can never have enough,which a lot of people that love money can never have enough.There is no limit to the money they want.You see that a lot today,the way they nickel and dime you,never having enough money to satisfy them.That is extreme greed,but a person does not have to be that greedy to love money,they don't want as much,but they are still greedy and try to justify what they are greedy about.
The main reason that this greed can be so extreme,in general,which in the past the greed was terrible,but that was only the government or certain very few people that could obtain that,but now the common man can achieve great wealth like Bill Gates and people who run a business,and that is technology.
Technology allows them to branch out more and reach more people,and allows them to make products to help their career,for how rich could an actor or a singer get,if it were 200 years ago,for they could only reach out to very few and would not have television or any recordable media to sell products,and reach out to many people,which some sitcom stars can make over one million dollars for one show,because it is televised all over the world,and business men can reach out to more people,especially with the internet.
That the money is there to obtain and America has been in that greedy mode,for the most part,for some time,conditioning them to not care so much about other people,but love money,it is causing the most greediest people ever in the history of mankind,who love money greatly,and affecting many nations.
Jesus said that since iniquity shall abound the love of many shall wax cold,which the love of money to a high degree will cause high selfishness and arrogance,which will cause hatefulness to a high degree,because it gives people the belief that people basically care about each other,so they have the attitude you don't care about me then I don't care about you,which they will get violent towards each more as time goes by if they stay on that greedy path.
Jesus told us in the last days perilous times will come,and the reason for those perilous times coming is the attitude of man,that they are highly selfish,highly arrogant,not having affection for people,despisers of people who are good,hypocrites who claim to be with God,lovers of their own selves,boasters,proud,covetous,disobedient to parents,traitors,fierce towards other people,unthankful for what they have,and unholy.
This says that people will basically care about themselves,being highly selfish and highly arrogant,with little regard for other people,which the Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil,which shows you that when people start heaping money and material things to themselves for a period of time,they become highly selfish and arrogant and do not care so much about other people,to where it starts to affect people who claim to be with God,that some become lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God,and having a form of godliness but denying the Spirit to lead them because of fleshy pleasures in their life,and ever learning but never able to come to the knowledge of the truth,and Christianity is the standard of the world,so if the world looks at them as having fault in the good department and fighting with each other,then the world slips more in to bad attitude,until it results in the beast system.
Look at America and Europe as they became more selfish and arrogant,that went on for so long,that many accept the New Age religion's new christianity and occult beliefs that man is god himself,which is the end result of the arrogance of man,which will pick up speed,and it will be the New Age religion's reinterpretation of all religions that will eventually be the occult core belief of all religions in the one world religious system.
So while there is so many different denominations that say they have the truth,and fighting over truth,and more hypocrites,the more the world nears closer to the beast system.The worse Christianity appears to the world,according to them for they will say they have no truth,the closer they are to the beast system,and the more popular the new christianity will gain ground,and become the core occult belief of all religions of the world,in which Alice Bailey,a prophet of the New Age religion,said that the occult Church is the true Church,which she openly followed Lucifer,who is not seen as an enemy,but a helper of mankind who came to earth from Venus 18.5 million years ago,and is the director of our planetary evolution,the sacrificial lamb,and the prodigal son,which the New Age religion will keep working to get the religions to accept Lucifer as the good guy and not the bad guy.
11There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
12There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
13There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
14There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men(Proverbs 30:11-14).
God told us of the last generation on earth before Jesus takes over the earth,and mentions that they will be so greedy for money that they devour the poor from off the earth,and the needy from among men.They will be highly selfish and arrogant,which you cannot tell them the truth for they will be pure in their own eyes thinking they don't need your senseless religion,which the Bible says the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine,but want to hear it their way.
The love of money is the root of all evil,and can lead to disaster if allowed to be pursued for a period of time,for it will create an attitude of high selfishness and high arrogance,which if ran in that atmosphere for a while,it will cause people to be so heady and high minded about themselves,that they will then begin to believe they are a god themself.
How do you think people who have a lot of money feel,like they are on top of the world,and the people are peasants around them,setting themselves up as kings,who can never have enough and want to own the world,for it is never enough money for them,and when there is enough of these people with that kind of money,like in America and Europe,then there is a group of people who want to plot the takeover of the world,and who have the money to bring it about,big conglomerates,who get led away easily of the New Age religion,for that is more power they heap unto themselves,for they would surely love to be a god,if the common man has become arrogant enough to believe they are god.
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
