Was Martin Luther right when he said that all the signs indicate that these are the last days?

Question

The founder of the Lutheran Church was the reformer, Martin Luther (1483-1546 A.D.). According to one authority, Luther stated: "For my part, I am sure that the day of judgment is just around the corner. It doesn't matter that we don't know the precise day... perhaps someone else can figure it out. But it is certain that time is now at an end." (Reformation Principles and Practice: Essays in Honor of Arthur Geoffrey Dickens, p 169). Another work says: "In all of his [Luther's] work there was a sense of urgency for the time was short... the world was heading for Armageddon in the war with the Turk." (Luther's View of Church History, John M. Headley, Yale University Press, 1963, pp 13,14)

Answer 1

Its 2006.

I'm going to say he was wrong.

Answer 2

Yep! The last days started at calvary and ends when Jesus returns. It is called the church age, which are Gods last days of His creation. And to God, this is just a moment in His eternity, like vapour. The time is short.

Answer 3

The writer to the HEBREWS SAID IT FIRST..

Hebrews 1:1-2

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
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;

Guess we are still in these last days....Jim

Answer 4

He is just one of a never ending list of people claiming the "end is near."

Answer 5

The time is always short and the end is always near.

If not, people lose interest - even the extreme ones.

the guy carrying the sandwich board in NYC that proclaims the end of the world has taken to having the date on his sign in Velcro - easier to change it that way.
