Are We Living In The End Times

Are We Living In The End Times
The term "end-times" or "last days" often brings to mind dramatic visions of the world ending in fire and chaos. However, it's important to understand these concepts based on what scripture says. Instead of assuming it means the end of the world, we should focus on the end of an old era, like the Old Covenant-Temple period.

The Bible talks about a "time of the end," but it doesn't mean the end of time itself. Misinterpretations can lead to fear and false predictions. It's crucial to study passages like Matthew 24, where Jesus discusses future events, in their historical context.

For example, the "abomination of desolation" and the "great tribulation" are often misunderstood. Rather than predicting a future apocalypse, they likely referred to events in Jesus' time, like the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70.

By looking at scripture with a clear perspective, we can avoid confusion and gain a better understanding of what the "last days" truly mean.
