We look around at the insanity that seemingly dominates culture and society and ask: “Has the world gone completely mad?” The Bible has the answer, of course. Paul the great apostle, for example, gives an answer:
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” (Romans 1:29-32).
We are in the middle of a generation that embraces evil, as we have looked at many times. I’ve proposed in these commentaries that Jesus’ own words give us the truth about a future generation like the one described by Paul. It is the Lord’s prophecy about the generation that will be alive when He next intervenes catastrophically into the wicked affairs of humankind. He said it will be just like it was during the time of Lot in Sodom.
“Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed” (Luke 17:28-30).
While there are many things we can call “evil” and “wicked,” there is a specific form of wickedness that marked Lot’s day, as we all know. God came down to Abraham, Lot’s uncle, to say He was going to check Sodom to see if all the wickedness was taking place. Of course, God knew the state of that debauched society and culture. After Abraham tried to bargain with the Lord, asking if he would spare the city if a certain number of righteous people could be found, and only Lot fell into that category, God destroyed the city after removing the only righteous people–Lot and his daughters.
The primary evil reported in the Word of God concerning God’s judgment of and destruction of Sodom was the sexual debauchery rampant in the city. The sexual wickedness, according to Genesis 19, was that of homosexuality.
Again, Paul mentions this:
“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet” (Romans 1:26-27).
Jude tells of this matter that angers the God of Heaven to the point that He must act in His perfect righteousness. Many who read the little book of Jude are struck by his word that is ubiquitous in his prophecy for the very end of humanity’s war against the God who created them. That word is “ungodly”:
“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit” (Jude 1:14-19).
Jude, in his condemning prophecy about ungodliness, gave an example of the wickedness that would bring God’s wrath.
“Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities” (Jude 1:7-8).
Jesus, Paul, and Jude were speaking of our own time so near the end of this Age of Grace, I have no doubt. The following news story should make it clear as to the above prophecies could very likely apply to this very hour.
A video of a mock “de-baptism” ritual at a Michigan LGBT “pride” festival has emerged on Instagram. The video shows a man in an orange shirt reading “God Hates FAQs” pointing an unplugged hairdryer labelled “reason” at a woman’s head.
The Instagram user said she underwent the ceremony at Lansing Pride 2025. She reflected on being baptized in the Mormon Church at age 8, saying she had been baptized without “informed spiritual consent.” She described the “de-baptism” as a moment of release and healing, writing, “Dry, whole, and finally, by my own choice.”
The booth offering the ritual was hosted by “Michigan Atheists,” which described the ceremony as “a powerful act of self-affirmation.” The group also pledged support for gender ideology under the banner of “freedom of expression.” It plans to offer similar activities at “Royal Oak Pride” and “Ann Arbor Pride” later this summer.
So-called “de-baptism” (and “un-baptism”) ceremonies have also become common amongst satanist groups.
“Lansing Pride” itself featured over 200 vendors and performances. This year’s events included the “Free to Bee Family Zone” for children, which offered drag story times, free books, and LGBT-themed activities aimed at “empowering kids to embrace and celebrate differences.” (“LGBT ‘pride’ participants undergo sacrilegious ‘de-baptism’ ritual,” LifeSite, Rapture Ready News July 3, 2025)
What more appropriate word to use in defining such wickedness than that word used by the prophet Jude in describing Christ’s return to judge such evil? “Ungodly” is that word, and, as Jude describes, ungodliness is worthy of God’s wrath.
For those caught up in the wickedness of this age so near the Tribulation, here again is how to accept God’s forgiveness and not come under His wrath and judgment that is swiftly approaching.
“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
