The document discusses Christian perspectives on the end times as described in the Old Testament. It explains that the "last days" began with a prophecy of Jacob concerning the 12 tribes of Israel, and refers specifically to events that would occur when only the tribe of Judah remained in covenant with God. It describes how the kingdom of Israel was divided after Solomon, with 10 tribes going into exile and only Judah remaining, fulfilling the condition for the last days.
