ARE THESE THE LAST DAYS?
Jehovah’s Witnesses believe the last days began in 1914. In recent decades they have been joined by a growing number of others, particularly Evangelical-oriented groups, who believe the last days began when Israel was granted statehood in 1948. The Watchtower frequently cites 2 Timothy 3:1-5 as proof that we are living in the last days. Certainly, there 
is no question that with each passing year society is becoming more and more ungodly and corrupt. However, sometimes small details are overlooked. In that particular passage Paul did not say that in the last days men will become more and more wicked —as if it were a gradual process that takes place during the last days. No. The inspired Scriptures simply say that the last days will be perilous and difficult because men “will be” such and such. In other words, when the last days begin the world will have already become thoroughly corrupt and for that reason the last days will be critical times hard to deal with. Given the current state of affairs and the great conflicts emerging on the world scene, it would appear that the last days are about to begin.
