how close are we to the end time in relation to the last 6,000 years?
In relation to the last 6,000 years, we are within the last moments of the age. This is not to say it will be in 48 hours, but it could be only a few years. Many people do not comprehend how close we are to the end time.
Les explains that he is not saying the end will come in 48 hours, but in the relative term of the last 6,000 years, we are certainly within the last moments of the age—whether it is a few years or what. He laments that even people in the Bible Belt often give a blank look when told we are in the end time. This aligns with prophecy that the wicked will do wickedly, but the wise shall understand. He then directs attention to the 1,290 days from the midpoint of the Tribulation, when the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up.
