Summary: The Greek word for “perilous” used in this passage is the word “chalepos” (khal-ep-oss) and means: “harsh, fierce, difficult, dangerous, painful, grievous, hard to deal with.” It actually describes a society that has replaced virtue with immorality: and this includes governments and leaders in government. In addition, the void left by deleting virtue invites the entrance of demonic spirits to operate within the arts, the media, commerce, and governmental and legal structures of society.
