LAST DAYS

Acts 2:17
And it shall be in the last days, God says, that I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;

A distinction must be observed between "the last days" when the prediction relates to Israel, and the "last days" when the prediction relates to the church (1Ti. 4:1-3); (2Ti. 3:1-8); ( Heb. 1:1); ( Heb. 1:2); (1Pe. 1:4); (1Pe. 1:5); (2Pe. 3:1-9); (1Jo. 2:18); (1Jo. 2:19); (Jud. 1:17-19). Also distinguish the expression the "last days" (plural) from "the last day" (singular); the latter expression referring to the resurrections and last judgment; (Joh. 6:39); (Joh. 6:40); (Joh. 6:44); (Joh. 6:54); (Joh. 11:24); (Joh. 12:48). The "last days" as related to the church began with the advent of Christ ( Heb. 1:2) but have especial reference to the time of declension and apostasy at the end of this age; (2Ti. 3:1); (2Ti. 4:4). The "last days" as related to Israel are the days of Israel's exaltation and blessing, and are synonymous with the kingdom-age; (Isa. 2:2-4); (Mic. 4:1-7). They are "last" not with reference to this dispensation, but with reference to the whole of Israel's history.
