The Last Days Are Upon Us-Again

by an Old Disciple of Jesus Christ

“…In the last days…”~ 2 Peter 3:3

Years ago I was in a meeting in Steinback, Manitoba, Canada with a dear pastor friend, David Millar at the First Baptist Church. One afternoon I was browsing through the books in a local Christian bookstore. As I read the title of one book I blurted out in laughter, its title was “The Last Days Are Upon Us — Again.”

Regular readers of the Scribblings, even casual ones, would come to my defense, I believe, if I were accused of being a gloom and doom writer. I try to stay away from “novelty doctrines.”

Nevertheless, anyone familiar with the history of the Christian Church is aware every age had devotees who believed their age to be the last. The signs mania is as old as the Church itself.

The writer of Hebrews plainly pinpoints the “last days” as beginning with Jesus Christ, Heb. 1:1-2. Therefore, we have lived in the last days for over 2000 years.

But having said this, any logical, thinking person, would have to admit, there must to be a last days for the last days. Believe what you will about the last day advocates, but it all has to come to an end, one day. One camp would have us believe that day is present whereas the other would suggest it is sometime in the distant future. My personal philosophy is, “Work as it is distant, live as it is nigh; even at the door.”

As I have so often quoted my dear departed old evangelist friend, Dr. John R. Rice, “JESUS IS COMING AGAIN, SIGNS OR NO SIGNS.”
