“The Last Days” of What?
“The last days” has become a very common expression. In the English language alone, it has been part of the title of hundreds of books. Consider, for example, the recent book The Last Days of Innocence—America at War, 1917-1918. The prologue makes clear that when using the term “the last days,” the book refers to a specific time, one in which there has been a tremendous decay in morals.
“In 1914,” the prologue explains, “the country was changing more rapidly than at any time in its history.” Indeed, the year 1914 marked a plunge into war worldwide, which had not been experienced before. The book says: “This was total war, the conflict not of army against army but nation against nation.” This war, as we will see, occurred at the beginning of what the Bible terms “the last days.”
That this world would experience before its actual end a specific time called “the last days” is a teaching of the Bible. The Bible, in fact, says that a world once existed that has already passed away, or ended, explaining: “The world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water.” What time was that, and what was the world that ended? It was the ancient “world of ungodly people” that existed in the days of the man Noah. Similarly, today’s world will end. Yet, those who serve God will survive the end, as did Noah and his family.—2 Peter 2:5; 3:6; Genesis 7:21-24; 1 John 2:17.

Must those of us with strongly held religious beliefs express feelings of peace and goodwill toward those who hold different beliefs?
Or may we continue to gloat over the fact that Jesus or Allah or Something will grant us- and ONLY us- eternal happiness, while anybody who holds ANY different beliefs, gets well-deserved Eternal Torment?

Tomorrow, will Christians go back to calling me a disgusting heathen lesbian destined to burn for eternity in Hell?
Christians - very Christ-like, 1 day a year.
