1666.—The Last Days. Joel 2:28, 29.

By Editor

Please inform me why Peter quoted Joel 2:28, 29? He was not living in the "last days."

But Peter did live in the beginning of the "last days." The last great year of Gospel husbandry, speaking figuratively, began at the first advent of Christ. At the beginning came the sowing with the falling of the early rain, of which Peter speaks. Joel seemed to cover the whole period, including the latter rain, which develops the world for its harvest.

There is now no pamphlet in print on Revelation 17. It will be treated in this paper, the Lord willing, the latter part of the year.
