Are you living in the last days?

Answer 1

Revelation ch 22 v 7 - "Behold i am coming soon! Blessed is he that keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

2 Peter ch 3 v1,18

Answer:

With God, one day is "... as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day..."

In this regard... from the time Jesus walked the earth in the flesh until now... only about "three or so days" have elapsed.

I say this, because even the inspired writers of what we call the New Testament referred to their generation as living in the last days.

"Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time." (I John 2:18)

"...God... hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son..." (Heb.1:1-2).

Every day since Christ have been the "last days." And with each passing 24-hour day... the world draws closer to the conclusion of the "last days" and the conclusion of God's 6000 year ['6-day'work-week] plan. The days of man's allotted "six-thousand year work week" of rule on earth are numbered... and the "Lord's Day" [His thousand year, Sabbath Day, rule on earth] will complete the 7000 year [7-day week] of His plan.

So, yes -- we are all living in the last days. Man's works on the earth are almost done. His works shall cause all life to cease, unless the Lord returns to stop it [Matt.24:22].

Judging by the direction present global events are taking the world... there can't be too many more days left. Twenty-four hour ones, that is.
I am guessing that you are really asking, are we living in the end times?

I will let you be the judge. The Bible at 1 Timothy 3:1-4 spoke of the "last days" as being "critical times ard to deal with." Those verses went on to point out that in the last days, people would be unthankful, disloyal, puffed up with pride, lovers of themselves, lovers of money, disobedient to parents, haughty, fierce, and many other things. The question is, do you see this today?

Jesus, at Matthew chapter 24 and Luke chapter 21, when asked about what would be the sign of the "end of the world." answered that there would be wars on a worldwide scale, disease, crime, earthquakes, food shortages, a lack of love among people, that people would be fearful of what is coming apon the earth, and many other hings. Again, have you seen this in your lifetime?

The answer to these two questions I have just posed, is the answer to the original question you just asked.

Here is a web address to an online article that gives further information: Are We Living in the Last Days? http://watchtower.org/e/20060915/article_01.htm

This brings forth another question: what do we do about it? Jesus said at John 17:3, "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of YOU, the only true God, ad the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." So we must learn about God and his son Jesus, so that we can know what to do to survibe the end, and get everlasting life. That same article has an addition link at the bottom of the page that will give information from the Bible about that.

AnswerThere are many predictions about the end of time and all of them failed.

The Bible predicted that the end will come within the lifetime of Jesus' listener. See Matthew 16:28, Luke 9:27, Mark 9:11.

for other failed predictions see link "63 failed & 1 ambiguous end-of-the-world predictions between 30 CE and 1990 CE"

The world has been in existence for 4+ billion years and will continue to exist for billions more of years. The probability of the world ending within your lifetime is very, very, very remote. Sleep well tonight..,

Answer:Personally, I believe we are closing in on the End of Time as we know it. The most obvious sign is the Biblical prophesy that says the generation that sees Israel become a nation again, will also see the end of time. If you are not a Christian, that would have little importance, but if you think about it, the world is ending for somebody at this very second, and it will end for us all one day.

Answer 2

The 'last days' have been expected as imminent ever since the earliest days of Christianity.

The Apostle Paul promised the Thessalonians (1 Thessalonians ) that Jesus would return within the within his own lifetime. Paul said that the Thessalonians could be ready for the return of Jesus by being vigilant (1 Thess 5:6): "Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober."

We switch to Mark, the first of the New Testament gospels to be written, around 70 CE and so still within the lifetimes of many alive when Paul wrote his epistles. The author of Markheld the same belief as Paul had, believing there would be signs - earthquakes, civil war, destruction and many calamities, after which the stars would fall from heaven and they would see the Son of man descend on clouds of glory. He warned them to flee into the hills, not stopping to collect anything.

Mark's expectation of the imminent return of Jesus, within the lifetime of his generation, did not come about and so the authors of Matthew and Luke began to realise that the return of Jesus Christ was not imminent after all, and so began to tone down the prophecies, placing it in the indefinite future. Their readers did not really need to be ready for Jesus' return.

Since the apostolic times, there have been hundreds of documented prophecies of Jesus' imminent return, and with each one there is less and less chance that the next prophecy will be any more true than the one before. There is no reason to believe these are the end times and no reason to believe that the world as we know it will end within the next few thousand years.

Answer 3
