The application of Joel’s prophecy by Peter links the arrival of the Spirit in Jerusalem to the start of History's final era. With the outpouring of the promised Spirit, the period known as the “ Last Days ” commenced on if not before the Day of Pentecost - Did not God send His Son in the “ fullness of time ? ” Moreover, the fulfillment of the prophecy meant the inevitability and possibly even the imminence of the “ Day of the Lord ” - (Joel 2:28-32, Acts 2:17-21).
