Verses 1-8 “1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
2Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
3And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
4And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
5Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
6And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
When Jesus said, “When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” He meant that as time goes by and as we get near the end of the age, fewer and fewer people will be people who pray. Fewer and fewer will be people of faith. Fewer and fewer will be devout. Fewer and fewer people will be genuinely born again. The days at the end of this age are days of spiritual declension and apostasy. They are not days of great revivals and spiritual awakening. There is, of course, a local church revival here and there. And God can do anything He wants to do. But do we not deserve spiritual awakening less than any other generation who has lived in the last 2000 years? And could it be that God is judging America by withholding spiritual renewal? When the Son of Man comes, will He find precious few who are saved?
