What does the word “Latter-days” mean?

The meaning of the word “latter-days” refers to scriptural accounts of apostles and prophets that spoke of the “last days.” As I understand, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believes that the time in which we now live is the “latter-days,” or the days (or dispensation of time) just before the Second Coming of the Lord. Job, a prophet in the Old Testament, and many others spoke of the latter-days saying, “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” (Job 19:25; see also Genesis 49:1; Isaiah 2:2; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; 2 Peter 3:3-7).
