We are Way Past the Last Days, According to the Bible

In Acts 2, when Peter defends those said to be drunk, Luke writes that Peter ties Pentecost to the last days through the prophecy of Joel. So Pentecost happened in the last days according to Luke and Peter. This is surprising to us, but shouldn’t be, for the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the Mosaic covenant, being replaced with the New Jerusalem and New Covenant ties together and makes sense of numerous other scriptures … and quotes of Jesus, including but not remotely limited to the rest of Acts 2, which the describes the hope of the dead, that the souls of the likes of David, for example, would not be left in Sheol … but moved to heaven – the same place where Christ was reigning. It’s just that Jesus, the firstborn of the dead, would need to ascend first. Indeed, the 70th week of Daniel and the destruction of Jerusalem was in the last days. The same generation as Pentecost. Jesus didn’t lie nor was he mistaken when declared that “this generation would not pass away” and that “some of you standing here would not taste death” or when he said, “you will not have made it through all the towns of Israel.” As Gabriel told Daniel, 70 “weeks” were declared for his people.

The passage in Acts:

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day.[b] 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel:

17 “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; 18 even on my male servants and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. 19 And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; 20 the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood,
before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. 21 And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’
