Claim. The Last Days is not the literal destruction of the world but the transition from a world under satanic sovereignty to a world under God’s sovereignty. Because human beings repeatedly fail their portion of responsibility, this transition has been attempted more than once. The Last Days has therefore recurred: Noah’s day, Jesus’s day, and the day of the Second Advent are each Last Days.
Elaboration. Per 3.1. The Meaning of the Last Days: “The Last Days is this time, when the evil world under satanic sovereignty is transformed into the ideal world under God’s sovereignty… it will not be a day of fear when the world will be destroyed by global catastrophes, as many Christians have believed. In fact, it will be a day of joy.”
Noah’s day was the Last Days — God intended through the Flood to “purge sinful history” and resurrect God-centered sovereignty on the foundation of Noah’s family; the providence failed when Ham “committed a sinful act which reaffirmed the Fall.” Jesus’s day was the Last Days — but “when the people of Israel did not believe in him, the human portion of responsibility was left unaccomplished.” Jesus’s crucifixion accomplished only spiritual salvation; the Second Advent must complete restoration “both spiritually and physically.” Hence the Second Advent is also the Last Days.
This claim reframes eschatology structurally: catastrophic imagery in the Bible refers to the overthrow of one sovereignty, not the world’s annihilation (see dp-bible-eschatological-imagery-read-symbolically).
