(I have recently started a YouTube channel dedicated specifically to the topic of narcissism. Please consider subscribing if this interests you)
Ever since I came to understand the dark shadow that hangs over our planet (i.e. narcissism), I have written extensively on it. The reason why is simple: narcissism is the greatest behavioral epidemic of our time (and of all world history, for that matter).
Elsewhere, I have discussed other reasons why we should be on high alert and ever mindful that all signs are pointing toward the reality that we are living in the last days. These resources have covered the following things:
- The 2020 virus agenda and its innumerable implications.
- The fact that international Freemasonry is the evil force that runs our world.
- The clear signs that we are now living in the Satanic Age, where Lucifer’s “calling cards” can be seen in every facet of daily life.
I even created an almost 4-hour video showing how the events and organizations of our time are all working together to bring this age to a close.
Friends, please—I pray you—understand where things stand in our world today.
In this article, I wish to elaborate on why the epic explosion in narcissistic individuals is an essential (and predicted) sign that we are living in the last days.

Surrounded by Narcissists
In other articles and videos, I explained the origin of the term “narcissist” and that it can be traced back to the Greek legend of Narcissus. In those same works, I explained the general nature of narcissism and its incredible evils. For this reason, I will not go into all these details. However, I sincerely hope that you become acquainted with this material if you have not already done so.
Indeed, narcissism has always existed on this planet. Satan, the chief Narcissist, has been the “god of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30) since it was handed to him by our ancestral and spiritual progenitors (Adam and Eve) in the Garden of Eden.
Narcissism has always been here but never has it been so prominent.
Many who study narcissism claim that between 0.5-5% of the population are narcissists, but this number often only refers to those who have been diagnosed with NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). However, anyone who understands that narcissism is best understood as a personality type and not a diagnosis can see that narcissism is exploding around us.
Dr. Romani Durvasula—a renowned expert on narcissism, who doesn’t truly view it from a spiritual perspective—has proposed that at least 15-25% of people in the US (and many other places) have enough narcissistic traits to be considered a narcissist. Let me repeat: between one in four and one in five people around you, on average, are high in narcissistic traits.
Stated more plainly, we can consider them to be narcissists.
Though I have no training in psychology whatsoever, this is consistent with my spiritual understanding of the world around me. I, too, have ventured to say that the numbers could be that high (or even higher).
If you doubt the veracity of these numbers, then you really need to do the research and evaluate those in your past, present, and certainly future.

Why so many?
Why is there now such in incredible number of narcissistic people in our world? How can this explosion be explained?
As you might expect, there is no single reason for this. Rather, there are many factors involved. Here, I wish to explain what I believe are the most powerful ones.
The first reason encompasses many things, and it’s easily one of the most important factors involved. I am of course speaking about the rise of the internet. No surprise here, right? In all of human history, never has meeting people and “hooking up” been so easy; not by a landslide. In particular, the eruption of social media sites and dating apps have changed literally everything about the way people communicate, especially in the romantic setting.
Over the last two decades, literally billions of people have created social media and dating app accounts. Facebook, alone, has over 3 billion users—though a fair number are likely bots! Tinder, the world’s most popular dating app, has over 74 million monthly users.
While dating sites are heavily skewed toward women—and I can’t stress enough that men (especially) should not be using them—they provide the potential to talk and meet with others without having to leave your own home. This has had devastating results, and there are countless videos on YouTube proving it.
People do not form solid relationships or connect with most of the people they chat with. In fact, the constant “swiping” through countless profiles has raised expectations to ridiculous levels and fostered the desire to simply date based on appearance alone. People just become a series of pictures, and those who don’t rate high in appearance are essentially D.O.A. on a dating site. Again, this is especially true for men (here’s proof).
This has helped to lead to the notion that everyone is disposable. If so, then it follows that every relationship is also disposable. No one is ever “good enough.” Someone could always be a little better looking, or financially successful, or taller, or kinder, or more charming, or more confident, or . . . or . . . OR! Besides, you never know if that “perfect” person will appear on the next swipe or the next date!
This is not an exaggeration. Our society has bred this mentality in nearly every way. The advent of the dating app has, without question, thrust us much farther down this insidious road.
Not surprisingly, this way of thinking has helped to popularize the “hookup culture,” degraded all sense of morality in relationships, and most definitely helped to normalize divorce. The overall deterioration of our culture is complex, but be sure that social media and dating apps have done more damage than probably anything else.
The second reason I want to mention is also multifaceted and is completely spiritual in nature. This can be summarized in simple terms: Satan has increasing control over this world.
Contrary to what many believe, people are not becoming more “godless” as interest in genuine religion wanes within our society. As I often say, no one—and I repeat, no one—on earth is godless. Rather, all people are under someone’s Lordship and, as the Bible explains things, there are only two options.
Everyone serves one of two masters. We either serve Jesus Christ, or the one who epitomizes the spirit of Antichrist: Satan. We now live in a time when most are serving Satan, whom Paul called the “God of this age” (2 Cor. 4:4) and Jesus himself called the “ruler of this world” (Jn. 14:30). Just as the followers of Christ imitate Christ, the followers of Satan imitate their dark master. Many, many people within our world have taken on the masquerading appearance and the characteristics of Satan.
Chief among these “Satanic Foot Soldiers” are the narcissists. As I have shown, they emulate the Devil’s traits to perfection. To understand Satan is to understand the narcissist, and vice-versa.
You are living in an illusion if you don’t think you are serving a god. Because Satan, the “god of this age,” has established control throughout the world, many are now patterning their lives after the chief Narcissist.
And here is what that looks like.

Narcissism and the Last Days
If the clear explosion of narcissism in our world is surprising to you, understand something else: this was predicted in the Bible.
God, knowing the hearts of men and the certain trajectory of our world, revealed nearly 2,000 years ago that narcissism would be a prominent indication that the end is near. This is not some type of vague prediction that requires textual manipulation or mental gymnastics, either. No, this is as clear as a cloudless day.
In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul revealed the following information about humanity leading up to end:
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.”
I have underlined the key phases, as they pertain to the topic at hand. However, all these nasty attributes can be ascribed to narcissists.
When describing the events surrounding the end times, Jesus also spoke of this phenomenon, saying:
“And because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold” (Mt. 24:12).
There is much that could be said, but it can be reduced to its essence. In the last days, most of the world will become self-absorbed, utterly loveless, having no natural affection and no empathy, and will have only a form of false godliness.
This is the essence of narcissism. This is precisely what is so visible within our world today.
Conclusion
It’s high time that we face reality and accept the truth. The world described above—with such large numbers of heinously corrupt people—is the world that is now here. It’s not off in the distance but is here. This is why so many people are now talking about narcissism, and why it’s all over the planet.
Friends, this is not an issue concerning 0.5-5% of the population. This is an issue concerning at least 15-25% of the population, and it’s spreading like a wildfire up a dry hill. Consider another horrific fact: this mean figure of “20%” is only describing those within our society who are heavily narcissistic or have many narcissistic traits. The harsh reality is that another large number of people exhibit a great deal of these traits, even if not to the point where we could identify them as full-blown narcissists.
Yes, narcissism is that prevalent on our planet. Satan’s foot soldiers truly do surround us.
If this is any indication of things, and I fully believe that it is, then we are living in the last days. How long do we have? None of us can say, nor should we be willing to forecast a date. As Jesus simply told us:
“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming” (Mt. 24:42).
Well, I am watching . . . and what I see is an explosion of the very people that are said to fill the earth at the end of the age.
The narcissists are here . . . and so are the last days.
