Is not wisdom calling out? Is not discernment raising its voice? (Proverbs 8:1)

The Last Days of the Jewish system of things at (2 Peter 3:3) began on 33 CE at Pentecost and the Last Days of Satan’s system of things began at the End of the Gentile times in 1914 CE where Brother Charles T Russell explained there will be a time of trouble (2 Timothy 3:1). As far as timing goes, these ongoing events both have different beginnings and different lengths of time that will culminate into one simultaneous ending on 2034.

The timing of the last days in Second Peter are explained in the entire third chapter. However, the scripture will show you the specific timing of a day that Jehovah meant in (Genesis 2:17). “However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.” (2 Peter 3:8) When did Adam die? In the Day of a thousand years. (Gen 5:5)

Supportive Scriptures

• Jesus replied to them: “Tear down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” (John 2:19)
• “Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that the spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16)
• ‘He will revive us after two days. On the third day he will raise us up, And we will live before him.” (Hosea 6:2) Pentecost 33 CE + 2,000 yrs = 2033. Third day begins 2034.

When this allotted time limit comes to its’ conclusion, it will appear that NOTHING has changed and that Jehovah’s Day is Delaying.

Supportive Scriptures

• “First of all know this, that in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his?” (2 Peter 3:3)
• “For the vision is yet for its appointed time, And it is rushing toward its end, and it will not lie. Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! For it will without fail come true. It will not be late!” (Habakkuk 2:3)
• But Jehovah’s day will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar, but the elements being intensely hot will be dissolved, and earth and the works in it will be exposed.” (2 Peter 3:10) It’s Spiritual. Let the reader use discernment!
• “You, therefore, beloved ones, having this advance knowledge, be on your guard so that you may not be led astray with them by the error of the lawless people and fall from your own steadfastness.” (2 Peter 3:17)

Now the Last Days in Second Timothy chapter three verses 1-5 talks about how ungodly people will progress from bad to worse. This time period was allotted to begin from the timing of an end of an age called the End of Gentile times. This would usher in an “age of violence”. Jesus stated over and over that this time period would be like the Days of Noah.

Over 100 years ago, on January 1914, Charles T Russell, wrote about the End of the Gentile Times. The worldly nations would no longer rule over mankind unfettered but would be marked for destruction. “Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time.” (Rev 12:12)

In reference to the event that would mark the End of the Gentile Times, Brother Russell wrote: “‘The Earth Abideth Forever’ Christ will not return to Earth as a Man – Present Year Believed to Mark Great Change of Dispensation, but World May not discern Immediate Difference.” The Bible Students Monthly, January, 1914.

Since Christ will not return to Earth as a Man, Brother Russell wrote: “Our Lord, in describing His Second Presence, clearly indicated that it would be unnoticed by the world until the cataclysm of trouble should come. Thus He likened the earlier days of His presence to that period before the Flood, when the world, unconscious of the impending catastrophe, continued to build, eat and drink as usual, and knew not. So, says the Master, it will be in the end of this Age. Eating, drinking, building, planting and marrying will proceed as usual; and the world will not know… that they are in the PRESENCE of the Son of Man.“

International Bible Students Association: “Nevertheless, when viewed from God’s standpoint, we are still “shortly after” 1914. Although Russell himself did not think the time of trouble would be this long, he did allow that it could be. It is possible that the time allotted for this period is 120 years (1914+120=2034), but that these days will be “cut short” some time before they are allowed to reach their end. We do not put this forth as a “prophecy”, nor would we feel anything was wrong if 2034 came and went and nothing had happened as far the full binding of Satan and the destruction of his empire is concerned. All things are in God’s hands.”

As far back as 1880 the Watchtower magazine declared that 1914 would mark the end of the “Gentile times.” Better times are head of us when the age of violence is brought to its’ end.
