347. That 'the end of days' is used to mean the course of time may be clear to anyone. In its earliest form, when simplicity was still present in it, this doctrine called Cain does not seem to have been so unacceptable as it was later on. This is clear from the fact that they called offspring 'Gained a man, Jehovah'; so in its earliest form faith was not separated so much from love as it was 'at the end of days', or in the course of time, as usually happens with all doctrine that belongs to true faith.
