The last days began when the Word made flesh walked among us. Refer to Hebrews 1:1-2. 

This is an excellent point.

With his birth the last days began of  the collapse of the walls of Jericho.

The Last days of the Sanctity of the people of God. 

The last days began before   the manna in the Golden vessel in the Ark stinks. 

With his birth the Last Days of the Gentiles began to count, and their number were the same as the last days before the end  of the Jewish man. 

With his birth, the last days began of both the Gentile and the Jewish Man.

With his birth the Last Days of Darkness in the world began.  

With his birth the Last days began before the Darkness of the Jewish religious Moon.

What do you have to say to a Berean type of student who may asked you if your beliefs, which are not specifically indetify if they reflect the beliefs and teachings of Jesus? 

Can you please rephrase this?

True that, I think we are looking in the direction of consummation right? At least I am.

I realize that by human time we think 2000 years is a long time, and yet by all indications it looks like we are in the jowels of the winding down. Looking back is a long time. Looking forward looks to me like the beginning of the home stretch. Some may take that to mean next week, some may think it means in a few years. By 'it' I mean when we get into the heat of the progression of things. When there is no doubt which chess piece was moved.

Sometimes anticipation adds psychologically to our concepts of time, as when we want anything to happen ASAP. And it WILL happen, but maybe not as fast as a caffinated amped up impatient person wants it to:) 

I keep going back to the ten virgins with those who were unprepared. What does that mean in our current ways of thinking? Sort of like the fire department, always ready to put out a fire so that when it happens they are ready, not like California who turned off the water. 

There are many ways to be ready. A checklist.One main way to be ready is to have the right spirit about all of it, following Christ no matter what, seeking the Lord every day. In close contact. Nothing wrong with looking back to when it all began, but we are in a moving time that has changed and is changing rapidly.

And it's easy to try and strategize too far out thinking we have more than we do, but at the same time when God gives us something we know and it generally isn't mystical knowledge, it's studied knowledge, meaning that pretty much anyone can know, so it isn't as if I'm talking about deep things we can't all know. It's more like the admission that some christians don't study and expect others to figure it all out, and I get that people often want to help, so knowing doesn't come from an elitist atitude. New believers won't be there and might need and want help. 

So what am I saying? Really that I myself try and tread lightly around all of it. Not bashful or backward, but more  a decision of who or how to relate these things to different people. I was in a medical office today and there was talk among us waiting that AI is taking over and I made the comment that pretty soon they will have robots drawing our blood. It was agreed the trades are the future so far as job stability. Sign of the times we are in. Remember when plumbers where looked down on?  So I think the average person out there sees something changing that's beginning to affect them or family members in bigs ways, Even unbelievers, and hopefully this will be a draw to cause many of them to look a little deeper and hopefully talk to others who haven't gone off the deep end on prophecy and are willing to take the time to explain it. We can't deny whats happening, we can only disagree on why or the prophetic implications.

The Bereans heard Paul's message and they said let's see what the scriptures say because Paul was reasoning with them from scripture. 

In this example bellow from Hebrews 1:2 we have statements in verse one. But the specifics are not given. 

   BWhen Hebrews said something about the last days, he was referring to those days  that had  already pass. During the times Jesus sojourned in Israel. 

He said: God has spoken to us through his Son. Referring to something that has happened.  

We do not know if the specifics the Hebrews had considered were from Genesis or from other sources as rabbinical teachings. The discussion should be centered around the specifics and establish that they are found in reference to Genesis. 

But we are not given the specifics. Study the Berean way it cannot be done without the specifics and to establish that  they are from scripture in Genesis or they are outsource and identified their origin. 

Like when Philip and the Enuch discussed Esaiah 53 they had the specific words in Esaiah 53.

In verse two he is speaking to believers in Jesus Christ and yet without s scripture reference. For the study of the scripture itself. 

With Paul it was a very different situation. As he spoke to unbelievers Jews and reason with them the specific scripture for days. We don't have the specific scripture reference but we have the information that he did that with them. 

Hebrews 1:1-2  In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 

2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.

Have you ever noticed the difference between the blessing of Israel to his twelve sons, and the blessing of Moses on the same?

Maybe this is why?

What shall befall them in the last days

Ge 49:1  And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
