14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of WHOM thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Things will not get better but worse according to the apostle Paul.
And as we get nearer to the end of this world, the devil will be more rampant on this earth because he knows his time is short.
Revelation 12:12 ... Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Churches will fall away from scriptures and antichrist will move in and the apostasy will be in church groups as they depart from specific scriptures.
2 Thessalonians 2
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
(In 1982, God said to me: "The falling away are not people leaving the churches. The falling away are churches leaving the scriptures.")
The Word of God, the Holy Scriptures, kept antichrist out of the churches. But when churches departed from specific scriptures the door was opened for antichrist to move into those church groups.
Antichrist is not one man but is a "spirit."
The apostle John tells us this in the following scripture:
I John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
The apostle John told his own church group that there were already "many antichrists" that had come into their church group.
I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
When these "antichrist" people saw they could not bring in perverted doctrines, they left them.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
They began their own denominations, setting up their own doctrines, departing from many doctrines of Christ that are in the Holy Bible.
The apostle Paul said to the elders of the church at Ephesus:
Acts 20:28-30 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which HE hath purchased with HIS own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Paul also explains that these antichrist individuals who refused the doctrines of Christ in the church would be destroyed by Jesus when HE returns to gather the followers of the Word.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of HIS mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of HIS coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The apostate churches of the end time.
