I wonder…

how bad things got in the 1st century. Jude 17-18 say:

“But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 18 They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”

I mean how bad did things get in the 1st century church that they where expecting Jesus to already be coming back? Was it that the church conditions had already deteriorated enough that the prophecies that Jesus had given in Matthew 24 seemed to be already coming true? And if that is the case, how much worse are we today. I am going to chew on that one today!
