Past generations have thought that they were in the last days. There is one thing that is different in our generation compared to any other generation, this was Israel becoming a state after 2500 years in 1948, which was a fulfillment of prophecy from
Ezekiel 37 . I believe this was a fulfillment 100% because in 1900 there were only about 40,000 Jews in Israel at that time and today there is around 6 million. I think with the way things have been in the last century we are on the verge of the ending of the age of the gentiles.
