Where in the bible does it say in the end times that wrong will seem right and right will seem wrong?

Answer 1

In the Old Testament Isaiah prophesied of a time when standards and behavioral attitudes would be reversed, and Jesus said in the end-times many people would be deceived:-

Isa 5:20 KJV Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Mat 24:1-5, 13-14 KJV [v. 1] And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. [v. 2] And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. [v. 3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? [v. 4] And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [v. 5] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. [v. 13] But he that shall endure unto the end,the same shall be saved. [v. 14] Andthis gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

This Gospel of Jesus Christ is being preached worldwide, there is widespread and rampant deceit, deception, and 'political-correctness', and the end is correspondingly really close.

The Bible doesn't specify it as occurring in the "end times"... but as being an ongoing thing among His people; who should know better... and as a prevailing attitude in the world. And it's not worded as "right and wrong," as much as "good and evil."

"Destruction is certain for those who say that EVIL IS GOOD and GOOD IS EVIL, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter." (Isa.5:20 NLT New Living Translation)

"Listen, you leaders of Israel! You are supposed to know RIGHT FROM WRONG, but you are the very ones who HATE GOOD and LOVE EVIL. You skin My people alive and tear the flesh off their bones ." (Micah 3:1-2 NLT)

Of course, the "Day of Destruction," while it has seemingly followed God's scattered people throughout their rebellious history, is also the description of the time of the end and the Day of the LORD.

"The Day of the LORD is on the way, the Day when DESTRUCTION comes from the Almighty. How terrible that Day will be!" (Joel 1:15 NLT)

"Scream in terror, for the LORD's time has arrived - the time for the Almighty to DESTROY." (Isa.13:6 NLT)

But, no... from the time Eve was introduced to the "Serpent" in the Garden of Eden, and she and Adam rejected God's Commandments [the law that defines sin; see I John 3:4... and tells man in no uncertain terms what is good and what is evil]: the Serpent [the great Dragon, that old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan..." - Rev.12:9] set mankind's easily-deceived heart and mind on the destructive path of "calling good evil, and evil good."

"God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like God, knowing everything, both GOOD AND EVIL." (Gen.3:5 NLT)

Mankind was deceived by this world's god from the beginning regarding what's good and evil... because he convinced man NOT TO BELIEVE WHAT GOD TELLS HIM THEY ARE in His Commandments. Mankind has been "deciding for himself" what is evil and what is good.

And man has decided [thanks to the influence of his chosen god in the beginning] that what God calls good is evil... and what God calls evil is good. THIS IS NOTHING NEW! This wicked, deceptive train of thought has not been limited to the time of the end... but throughout the history of the world.

IT'S CALLED SIN! Disobedience to God's Law. Rebellion. Lawlessness. Unrighteousness. Faithlessness. Unbelief.

And its role in modern man's twisting of God's Word and wrong, ill-advised decision-making is certainly playing a decided role in the coming DESTRUCTION that will occur as the last days of man's allotted time runs out, and God's plan of Salvation comes to its conclusion.

"For that will be a time of Greater Horror than anything the world has ever seen or will ever see again. In fact, unless that time of Calamity is shortened, the entire human race will be DESTROYED. But it will be shortened for the sake of God's chosen ones." (Matt.24:21-22 NLT)

"...the Day of the LORD comes like a thief in the night. While they are saying, 'Peace and Safety!' then in a moment DESTRUCTION falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none." (I Thess.5:2-3 WEY Weymouth's New Testament)

Good being taught as evil, and evil being taught as good is not a new thing in this world. It's this ongoing convoluted teaching since the beginning... and the acquired world-ending capabilities of man's modern technology, that's bringing about the "Greater Horror" and DESTRUCTION Jesus warns us of in His Word.

Answer 2

Nowhere in the King James Version of The Bible does it say 'the end of times.'

The Bible reveals evidence that man has been "allotted a period of time" [6000 years; a 6000 year/six-day work week - see II Peter 3:8] to discover and experience life... both the good and evil aspects of it -- to learn the bottomless depths of selfish wickedness, lawlessness and evil brought about by "sin" [breaking God's Law, His Ten Commandments - I John 3:4 & Rom.7:7]; and to learn about the selflessness of Love, that man's LORD Creator God has shown him by the example of His Own Self-sacrifice for His creation... to redeem it back from its sins, to save it by the conclusion or END of that allotted time period.

It's of this "TIME allotment" [sometimes called an "age"] given to man by his Creator that the Bible says is coming to an "END." An "end" which God's prophets saw in dreams and visions... and of which few or none of them really understood:

"As Gabriel approached the place where I was standing, I became so terrified that I fell to the ground. 'Son of man,' he said, 'you must understand that the events YOU HAVE SEEN IN YOUR VISION relate to THE TIME OF THE END.' ... Then he said, 'I am here to tell you what will happen LATER IN THE TIME OF WRATH. What you have seen pertains to the VERY END OF TIME.' [this is the NLT translation. The KJVtranslates this: '...I will make thee know what shall be in the LAST END OF THE INDIGNATION: for at THE TIME APPOINTED THE END shall be.']" (Dan.8:17-19 NLT New Living Translation)

Nonetheless... men calling "right wrong and wrong right" has never been limited to the "time of the end."

"Destruction is certain for those who drag their sins behind them, tied with cords of falsehood. They even mock the Holy One of Israel and say, 'Hurry up and do something! Quick, show us what you can do. We want to see what you have planned.' Destruction is certain for THOSE WHO SAY EVIL IS GOOD AND GOOD IS EVIL; that dark is light and light is dark; that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter. Destruction is certain for those who think they are wise and consider themselves to be clever... They take bribes to pervert justice. They let the wicked go free while punishing the innocent..." (Isa.5:18-23 NLT).

Of course... the LAST GREAT DAY of God's plan; Judgment Day [which shall BE the end of God's present plan, following His 'thousand year Sabbath Day' that will complete man's allotted week]: "...Look, I AM making all things new..." - Rev.21:5 NLT... will sort out all of this twisting and perverting of what God has made.

But calling "evil good and good evil" has never been limited to the time of the end. It is the STORY OF MAN'S EXISTENCE since he first met Satan in the Garden of Eden and chose this god to worship and obey over his Creator.
