In the Last Days...
The application of Joel’s prophecy in Acts by Peter links the arrival of the Gift of the Spirit to the onset of the messianic age. With the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and the outpouring of the promised Spirit, the period known as the “ last days ” commenced on if not before the Day of Pentecost. Moreover, the fulfillment of the prophecy means the inevitability and possibly even the imminence of the “ Day of the Lord ” - (Joel 2:28-32, Acts 2:17-21).
