Every Christian since the formation of the church has believed he lives in the end times. Frankly, I'm skeptical of any and all claims that anyone has any knowledge about anything related to "the end times".We've been living in the end times for nearly two millenia, after all. Joel's prophecy was that "in the last days" God would "pour out [his] Spirit on all flesh," which Peter said was fulfilled at Pentecost in Acts 2.
However, not all of us have the notion in our heads that "the end is near."

Joel said a whole lot more than this, and what was fulfilled at Pentecost was the 'Comforter' was sent just as Christ told them it would be. The rest of the specifics of Joel's prophecy have not happened yet. Interesting that the Spirit would be poured upon "all" flesh yet only a remnant would the Lord call out.
