1 Timothy 4:1 is translated by the NLT, "Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith." Some take the Greek behind "the last times" to mean "the last days," the extreme end of history. But is that Paul's meaning? Dr. Jermo van Nes is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Evangelische Theologische Faculteit, Leuven, Belgium. Among his publications are, (co-editor) Let God Be True: Perspectives on Romans 3, (author) Pauline Language and the Pastoral Epistles, and (co-editor), Drawing and Transcending Boundaries in the New Testament and Early Christianity.
