Already and Not Yet: the Last Days

Acts 2:16–21 | Hebrews 1:1–2 | 1 John 2:18  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.’1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets,2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 18 Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.   Introduction: We Are Living in the Last Days                A Series: The Last DaysThe Last Days Began with Christ (Acts 2:16–21)The Last Days Are Defined by God’s Final Revelation (Hebrews 1:1–2)The Last Days Are Spiritually Intense (1 John 2:18) Living Between the “Already” and the “Not Yet”Be ready (Matthew 24:44): Holiness and UrgencyStay Anchored in Chris (John 15:4)
