The Last Days Verses

I am starting a new series that will probably take 5-10 posts. Based on current events and various prophetic words on the subject of the "Last Days", I searched for that phrase, or its equivalent: the "Latter Days" and commented on them, Here is how I organized it:

The expression “In the last days” occurs 5 times in the Bible (NKJV) and a similar expression “in the latter days” occurs 13 times. If we are living just before the last days, or if we are in the last days and don’t know it yet, this is a look at those references.

Before discussing these, it is important to explain that the Bible uses these terms in various ways; sometimes it means in a few years and sometimes it’s just before the second coming. Sometimes it’s both, because Jewish interpretation allows for that. Then there is the fact that the subject of the End Times is hotly debated by the usual liberal/traditional parties. But, I’ll not get into that.

I’ll be looking at the following verses:

*= In the last days 

*Genesis 49:1

*2 Timothy 3:1

*James 5:3

*2 Peter 3:3

In the latter days:

Numbers 24:14  (in the latter days)

Deuteronomy 4:30

Deuteronomy 31:29

Isaiah 2:2

Jeremiah 23:20

Jeremiah 48:47

Jeremiah 49:39

Ezekiel 38:16

Daniel 2:28

Daniel 10:14

Hosea 3:5

Micah 4:1

Jude 1:18

Next time: Genesis 49:1
