How close are we to the end of the age in relation to the last 6,000 years?
Relative to the last 6,000 years, we are certainly within the last moments of the age. It is not necessarily 48 hours away, but it could be a few years. People often fail to comprehend how close the end time is.
Les explains that he is not saying the end is 48 hours away, 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 notes that even in the Bible Belt, where most people go to church at least once in a while, bringing up the end time often gets a blank look because people do not comprehend how close we are. This matches the prophecy that the wicked will do wickedly, but the wise shall understand. The same section also references the 1,290 days from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away at the midpoint of the Tribulation, when the Antichrist defiles the Temple and turns on Israel.
