Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Timothy 3:1

1 THis know also, that in the last dayes perillous times shall come .

We met with this term last dayes, 1 Tim. 4.1. and there said that the Scripture by that term understands all the time from Christs Ascension, to the end of the World. We meet with the term, Gen. 49.1. Isa. 2.2. Micah 4.1. Acts 2.17. Heb. 1.2. Iam. 5.3. 2 Pet. 3.3. of these dayes some are latter than other, but it appears by Acts 2.17. Heb. 1.2. that that whole period of time is so called.

In the Greek it is difficult times, that is times, when it will be difficult for Christians to keep their Lives or Estates, or any happy station in the World with a good Conscience, by reason of the plenty of ill men that should live in those times, and make them so difficult.
