Are We Living in "the Last Days"? - WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

 Since Bible prophecies are being fulfilled today, do you not agree that we are living in the last days?  After the good news is preached to Jehovah's satisfaction, "The end"  is certain to come. (Matthew 24:14) "The end" means the time when God will get rid of wickedness on earth.  To destroy all who willfully oppose Him, Jehovah will  use Jesus and powerful angels.  (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) Satan and his demons will no longer mislead the nations.  After that, God's Kingdom will shower blessing on all who submit to its righteous rulership. - REVELATION 20:1-3; 21:3-5.

Since the end of Satan's system is near, we need to ask ourselves.  "What should I be doing? It is wise to continue to learn more about Jehovah and his requirements for us.  (John 17:3) Be a serious student of the Bible. Make it your habit to associate regularly  with others who seek to do Jehovah's will.  (Read 1 Thessalonians 5:2.) Jesus warned: "As the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of Son of man will be." - MATTHEW 24:37-39.

Hence, Jesus told his listeners: "Pay attention to yourselves that your hearts never become weighted down with overeating and heaven drinking and anxieties of life, and suddenly that day be upon you as a snare.  For it will come upon all those dwelling on the face of the whole earth.  Keep awake, then. all the time making supplication that you may succeed  in escaping all these things that must occur and in standing[with approval] before the Son of man." (Luke 21:34-36) It is wise to take Jesus' word at heart.  Why?  Because these having the approval of Jehovah God and "the Son of man," Jesus Christ, have the prospect of surviving the end of the Satan's system of things and of living forever in the marvelous new world that is close at hand! - JOHN 3:16, 2 PETER 3:13.
