Bible Question: Is "last days" the same as end times and does that definitely now or a time to come? |
Bible Answer: maroon, Theologically and biblicly as some have pointed out the "end times" and "last days" may be the same. But from a practical point of view for every Christian up to now the day of their death has been the "end time" or "last day" before their judgement. For those who will die tomorrow today is the end time and last day. We do not know the day or hour of our death and we should live as if these are our last days. We would all be better Christians and the world would be a better place if we could all keep that "end time" expectancy foremost in our minds. God is already daily pouring out his Spirit and his graces upon us. Emmaus |
