53 <strong>The</strong>re is a sense in which the “end days” have been with us from the era of<br />
the New Testament to the present. Peter says in Acts 2:17 that these predicted<br />
for the “last days” were being fulfilled in those days. So we are not saying that<br />
the very end is necessarily right around the corner. Also, the author of Hebrews<br />
says, “in these last days”—referring to his own day (Hebrews 1:2). So are these<br />
the last days? Yes, and they have been since the New Testament to the present.<br />
