We are living in the "Last Days"

So often we hear people say, "We are living in the last days!" However, the Bible says that "with the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day." When the Bible talks about the last days, it does not mean the last few thousand days before Second Coming of Jesus and establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on the earth. Last days literally means the last couple thousand years, since the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Let's see if the Bible backs up what I am trying to say which is that the last days began with the first coming of Jesus.

Peter, when the day of pentecost had fully come, preached to a large crowd in Jerusalem. As he spoke he made reference to a prophesy by the prophet Joel and quotes Joel as follows;
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions and your old men shall dream dreams" (Acts 2:17).

Peter quotes from this because he and the rest of the 120 have just been called "drunk" as they spoke in various tongues as the Holy Spirit had just been poured out upon them. But Joel had prophesied that in the last two prophetic days (last two thousand years) that God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh! This is the promise of the Father over the last two thousand years. Men have received the Holy Spirit of God.

Both Paul and Peter make reference in their writings of things happening in the last days (2 Peter 3:3 & 2 Timothy 3:1). But I want to look at what the writer of Hebrews writes;
"God... spoke in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Has in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hast appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2).

What this passage says, is previously, in the Old Testament B.C. (Before Christ) God spoke to our fathers through the prophets (i.e. Isaiah, Haggai, Joel, Ezekiel, ect.) but now in these last two prophetic days, these last two thousand years has spoken to us by His Son, Jesus Christ, whom God the Father has appointed heir of all things and who God the Father made the worlds.

Today these last of the last days, God still speaks by His Son. The words of Jesus resound around the world with a message of be reconciled to God through His shed blood. Hope this gives you something to meditate upon, especially since these last days shall be ending soon as "A New Day is Coming, our King is Returning Soon!"

These are the last days! Mankind has been living in them since the day of Pentecost had fully come in Acts 2:1; confirmed by the words of Peter and Joel the prophet in Acts 2:17; further confirmed by the writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 1:2.
