1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in times past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed Heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds,

3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 being made so much better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5 For unto which of the angels said God at any time, "Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee"? And again, "I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son"?

6 And again, when He bringeth in the First-Begotten into the world, He saith, "And let all the angels of God worship Him."

7 And of the angels He saith, "Who maketh His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire."

8 But unto the Son He saith, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Thy Kingdom.

9 Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows."

10 And, "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of Thine hands.

11 They shall perish, but Thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment.

12 And as a vesture shalt Thou fold them up, and they shall be changed. But Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail."

13 But to which of the angels said He at any time, "Sit on My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool"?

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation?

"In these last days",,,,  are these the last days as so many claim or were the last days when the bible was written?  I find myself asking this question over and over again.  Has Christ already returned for His church?  If He has, as some would suggest, around 70AD, then what now?  Is He reigning in His kingdom on a spiritual realm?  What then will come of us who live today?  Was there already a tribulation?  Is there still one to come?

It would seem to me, if we take the bible literally, and we read, especially in the New Testament as we have been doing the last several month, it would appear that the "last days" have indeed come and gone.  So just what would that mean to us if it were true?  I am not sure.  I am left with more questions than answers at this moment.  I guess we need to keep reading to get to the truth.

Many might think I am against the churches of today.  I would not say that I am against them but I do believe that just as the bible warns us, there are many false teachers and prophets.  Some intentional and some not.  I do believe that just as the bible tells us to do, we must seek the answers for ourselves, from God's word, which is the only pure truth.  To take someone else's word, especially when it comes to salvation is just plain foolish.  We are each responsible for our own salvation.

The comments I make here are not meant to lead or teach anyone but rather to get you to think and to seek out the truth for yourself.  I am sure I have as many questions as you do.  Doing this blog is both an adventure and a learning experience for me.  One chapter a day gives me plenty of time to think about it and pray about it and seek to gain greater knowledge.  I do believe the bible is God created and holds within its pages the TRUTH.

I am sorry I am late this morning making my posts.  I might be coming on a bit later than usual for a while as my home schedule has changed a bit.  Please bear with me.  Have a wonderful day!

Blessings, Alice
