The Bible describes the last days as a time filled with scoffers and perilous conditions, indicating that we are currently in these days since Christ's ascension.
In the New Testament, particularly in 2 Peter 3 and 2 Timothy 3, the last days are characterized by scoffers who walk after their own lusts and by perilous times where moral decay prevails. Peter emphasizes that these last days began with Christ's ascension and will continue until His return. The descriptions given in these passages serve to remind believers of the urgency and significance of remaining steadfast in faith amid widespread disbelief and immorality.
