In Hebrews 1:1-2, the author of the epistle writes that “long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” According to the author, with Jesus a new era has come (described as "the last days").
