Hi. Let me put the definite article "the" before the plural nouns "last days" and "end times." The Simple sentences I can come up are these. Thank you in advance.
People say we live in the last days/in the last day.
People say we live in the end times/in the end time.
People say we live in the last days/in the last day.
People say we live in the end times/in the end time.

Only this one sounds reasonable, presuming that there is more context:
People say we live in the last days (e.g. of global amity, of the Roman Empire).
'End time/s' does not seem a natural phrase to me.
People say we live in the last days (e.g. of global amity, of the Roman Empire).
'End time/s' does not seem a natural phrase to me.
