When is the Last Day?

When we read about the Last Day in the Bible, we have the tendency, again, of automatically looking to a final day of the existence of the world. However, if we take some time to analyze how the Bible defines the phrase last day, we'll find that the primary meaning is focusing on our day when God is judging the corporate body in this time of tribulation. The common words last day we'll look at here are the following: Last <2078> is the Greek word eschatos and Day <2250> is the Greek hemera; which, by the way, is the same word used in talking about the Day of the Lord.

Ac 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days <2078> <2250>, 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:
