Like any kingdom, the kingdom of darkness and the rise of Antichrist, which is to come, is preceded by the spoken word. Scripture is full of verses which describe the attributes of the wicked, and perhaps the most common attribute found in these descriptions involves his tongue, which he uses to boast. Paul writes to Timothy of the condition of individuals in the last days. Take note of how many of Paul's descriptive words relate to the tongue: But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, … boasters, proud, blasphemers, … slanderers, without self-control, brutal, … having a form of godliness but denying its power. (2 Tim 3:1-6). Daniel prophesies of Antichrist in chapters 7-11, he spoke pompous words; through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper, and he shall seize the kingdom by intrigue. The beast of Revelation was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies (Rev 13:5, Dan 11:36).
Psalm 12 is about the use of words and speech in this or any age. It contrasts the words of the wicked with the pure words of the Lord. Kingdoms are built upon words – whether vane, flattering speeches which build the kingdom of Antichrist, or Gospel words which populate the Kingdom of God.

“ Important Sermon! ” What more is needed to prove that modern church is apostate because it does not recognize the truth of this psalm--"The godly man now ceases", where modern Christianity thinks there is a giant multitude of real Christians! "Speaking idly with their neighbor, flattering lips and double hearts" speak, every professor is called "brother", shaking hands to welcome to fellowship every visitor. "Many will come in my name claiming to be 'Christ-ian'", Christ warned of such.
Bare profession, flattering fellowship are the rule of the day...but the "faithful disappear from the sons of men".
