Are we living in "the last days"? 

Yes, World conditions as well as Bible chronology indicate that the last days  began in 1914.  At that time, God's Kingdom began ruling in heaven, and one of its first actions was to expel Satan the Devil and the demons  from heaven and restrict their activity on the earth.  (Revelation 12:7-12) Satan's influence on mankind can be seen in many of the bad attitudes and actions that make the last days "hard to deal with." - 2 TIMOTHY 3:1.
