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 unbelieving Jews and reason with them the specific scriptures for days. We don't have the specific scripture references but we have the information that he did that with them. 

Later he said quite a few things to consider and made more statements but did he give the specific scripture reference for the Berean study? 

Did he give specific references of scripture to  support his conclusions? Reading scripture can we say "here is the scripture that Justify what he said".

In our days many speak giving scripture reference but they do not let us know of the study of the scripture it self. They claim it supports their statements but they do not show the specifics of their study to prove it. And very often the study of the specific scripture it says something else. Speaks of something else. The Bereans were testing but they were testing Paul's sayings. But did they allowed them selves to be tested in the same way?  

Today they say "the Bible says" but they did not got  to know the specific context and test the context. They make statements about the context. And they do not test their statements in reference to the context. 

It's about the  context of the statements Jesus made that "the moon will turn into blood and the stars will stop giving their light and fall to the earth ".

Mathew 24:29 

 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[a]

Acts 2:20 
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord coming.

It's about the Glorious Day, the Magnificent Day of Jesus Christ.  

We need to ask our selves: Did Jesus had his Glorious and Magnificent day? And when was that? 

  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.

yes I have and I just did but does that have to do anything with Matthew 24:29 and about the last days in Jesus Christ statement?  

Mathew 24:29

29 “Immediately after the distress of those days

“‘the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’

[Alive]

We have been in the last days since Pentecost.

;-)

“But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy.

I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.’”

(Acts 2:16-21 NKJV)

People eveyrthing is wrong and worst by wrong. End comes beause of the wickedness of man. And you know we have done wrong in the ukraine, WW2, and the black plague. Wars happen and the Lord is not gonna let that happen anymore soon. And if you see the end times coming closer and closer is because of God's justice. 

 

I tell ya how it is people of what we are talking and see people ungrateful like theworld has shown. -_- I dislike we are talking something to see there a trap in politics and a future exist for all of us. But the promblem with society, with the world ! I'll tell you ladies and gentlemen we shall be thankful we shall be helping each other. If this modern day exist and not talking only about dash -_- people are ungrateful. People are walking the streets and smoking their cigars. People go back to crack ( The drug ) and take time to enjoy thier music. And they tell us this is how this is the way is gonna be ! Well gonna break it to you.

This is not the way it's suppose to be ! No, people back in the 90's this was not supposed to happen. Back then christans were trying to be God's people and wanted to be baptized not today with so much people mixing their belifes. Putting hinduism, buddha philosophy, or Stoic nihilism in this. Back then they would not put God's name in vain so much like today in the t.v.. No, I remember everything in California they were serious but now everything went wrong. People what went wrong you want me to tell ya -_-. George Bush is what went wrong back in 1999 we were all waiting for Y2k and I knew back then when people say it. It was a scam People did crazy things back then. George Bush came in people and he messed it all up. -_- we should of had Al Gore he would of made things more saner and safer for all. But George Bush came out and we had all this going down like he deliberatley wanted USA to fail. Really people Barack Obama's legacy failed because of George Bush, he knew Obama was gonna be chosen. Still he came out and in came Donald Trump and he won with all odds against him.

And you see all of this and you ask your self this is not how it's supposed to be people. We have crime rising, people have more guns, their drugs being sold all over the U.S. , people are believing whatever the internet says, and no jobs for people they want more papers. No, people this what happens when people don't realzie not to blame the media. Don't blame them you want me to say I apologize to you all. No, it's your fault ! It's your fault people ! You decided this you wanted things, you wanted to buy mercedez. Wanted a nice car and a new suit and go spend all your money ! It's all of societies fault people we are in this time and instead of thanking God and doing good for him and me. What do we do ? Hmmph ! We blame God we only blame him. Well no more -_- !

You see all of this ! All this Babylon it we buy and do and say it's not my fault it's the other guys fault I didn't do nothing. Or no don't worry let someon else take responsibility of my promblems, my government, and my business. Lets someone else take care of it. let some other idiot do the job and i'll take credit of it. Well you done it, you did what the world did. You trusted joe Biden.

People wanted to help and not Joe Biden your government your friends and family wanted to help ya. You get a job and wanted but you close yourself and said you can do yourself ! Okay. You made a mistake and guess all humanity has made a mistake. That's what good about humanity it make mistakes because it doesn't know and won't take responsibility of itself.

People you have been saved you are alive and well. And God kept you alive becuse he loved and still wants you do the plan of God. And instead of looking for a solution you know what people are doing ? Their blaming God, Trump, or their neighbor ! That's the solution no, people thta's not the solution.

People how many times has humantiy been saved ? Since WW 2 the allies won and we don't have oppresion of the Nazi's, When the soviet union dissolved and no war happen ? When Covid ended and we got to go back to normal to a degree ? When we had clinton instead of dole ! God has saved us constantly in this world. And it is wrong to see so much ungratefulness but from christians we cannot be ungrateful. God save us and I see christians going against God and christians leaving the faith. And God will not have it !
