More and more Christians of my acquaintance are talking "last days." Before any of us picks that up too quickly, we should remember the many times believers have declared "last days" only to be mistaken.
With that caution, the answer is found in scripture, and that is where we should go.
Try Matthew 24 and Revelation chapters 6 through 13.
But we should also be asking the more important question: what we should do?
The first question is not absolutely answerable, except to note that the events we see unfolding do appear to match the events Jesus prophetically listed as last day events.
(See Matthew 24 Chapter 24 study guide )
The answer to the second question is more easily answered. Whether tomorrow or a thousand years after tomorrow,
we are told to remain engaged in the work of proclaiming Jesus
and making disciples wherever we go.
(Matthew 28:18)
And to always be ready for the Lord's return by doing what he called us to do.
Among those things is caring for the poor and sick and hurting.
(Matthew 25:34-40)
What we may expect in those days is opposition and persecution. That in no way relieves us of our calling.
What we are not called to do is establish a kingdom by our own effort.
The kingdom of God is not political.
It is not established by vote or human effort or force.
None but the Lord Jesus will be the king, and he will establish the kingdom by his word of triumph and his presence.
(Revelation 19:15)
Consequently, we should beware of anyone who comes making the claim that he is the Messiah or the savior of the world.
When the Lord returns, he will need no introduction.
There will be neither debate nor question who he is at his coming.
