[QUOTE="Rachel20, post: 76711290, member: 428512"] From what I understand of the rules of the original Greek, when Paul spoke of "these last days", it meant exactly 2 days (plural but without a numeric specifier). Then, given 2 Pet 3:8 and Psalm 90:4, it's very reasonable to take it as a literal 2000 years. Hath [B]in these last days[/B] spoken unto us by [I]his[/I] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb 1:2 But [B]this is that[/B] which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it [B]shall come to pass in the last days[/B], saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Act 2:17-18 To be expected: Let no man deceive you by any means: for [I]that day shall not come[/I], [B]except there come a falling away first[/B], and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thess 2:3 And to the church of Philadelphia, promised to be kept from the hour of temptation, Jesus says they have a "little strength". Taken in military terms, it would mean they're small in number. It's also interesting that Jesus tells them he would make the hypocrites to know that he has loved them (Rev 3:9) So apparently the false church has everyone believing these are the despised.
