the  last  days?"  Well,  yes,  but  I  want  you  to


             understand that the last days began in the days



             of Jesus Christ and in the days of Peter and Paul,



             so we're in the last days of the last days.  But


             the  last  days  began  in  the  first  century,  and



             there was apostasy there in the first century,


             and Paul is saying that as you go through church



             history or the church age or whatever you want


             to call it, all this is going to do is intensify, be



             more magnified as we get closer to the coming



             of Jesus Christ.



                    Now, notice what he says here.  And as I


             read this, keep in mind that the last days refer



             to the time between the first coming and the


             second coming of Jesus Christ.  You ask, "How



             do you know that?" Glad you asked.  On the day


             of  Pentecost  in  Acts  2,  Peter  and  the  twelve



             stand up and preach in different languages to



                                                            31
