"ARE WE LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS?"

If that means we're closer to the end than the beginning, then yes I think so. How close to the end I have know idea. Christians should be aware of and watch for the signs, but should not “immanentize the eschaton.” There is much we don't know about God's timing.

Oooops... getting sleeping... that was a poor choice of words. I was thinking one thing and wrote another.

I mean we should not seek to bring the end (eschaton) prematurely to the present (imminent NOT immanence).

I believe that those who read the entire article will see that the Bible clearly teaches that "last days" refers to the last dispensation of time, not the final days before Jesus return. Accord to the teachings of the Bible the "last days" began in the first century and will continue until Jesus returns.

Those who teach otherwise usually have an agenda. I agree with a previous poster who pointed that their objective is usually to make a profit.

We need to learn to do own Bible study so we can know and teach the truth rather than allowing the Televangelist to spout their false doctrine then immediately ask for the poeple to send money so they can continue spouting their false doctrine.

How many times the Master Teacher, Jesus, ask that his followers send Him money? Funny, I can't seem to remember a single time.
