Matthew 24:12
Although it is true to say that evil is no new thing, it seems that Jesus is here supporting the idea that things will get steadily worse and worse. The proof of this can be seen in our world today. We have more knowledge than all of the generations before us, and yet we are sadly lacking in wisdom. History has continued on, yet, rather than learning from it, we forget it, or deny it.
Because of the increase of iniquity (which implies not just sin, but the love of it) many have grown lax and weak. Anemic Christianity is the sign of our times. Indeed, many are ready to settle for anything short of absolute heresy as gospel truth. This lack of dedication is due to the abounding iniquity. When you are around great evil, it is easy to compare yourself to the evil ones and think you are pretty good, when really your zeal is cold and indifferent.
