Thank you for your reply!

Indeed, the Truth was revealed to me, not to you or to people at large. It is Truth as I have received it but it is not Scriptural, it is not doctrine, etc. It answered my specific question, my prayer.

For Lurkers, the passage from Acts 2:16-21

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 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: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Some of us believe that Pentecost marked a beginning which has not yet been consummated.

A-G,

Thanks again for the reply.

Then how can you refer to this as "truth"? It sounds more like the secret knowledge of the early gnostic that they claimed was revealed but to a few. I don't believe truth is spoken of in the Bible in these terms.

Some of us believe that Pentecost marked a beginning which has not yet been consummated.

This being the case, would you then agree that you have no way to know when these "last days" will end?
