The sum of the matter then is, that Peter was not living in the "last days;" that the prophecy of Joel was not in its entirety fulfilled in the outpouring of God's Spirit upon the Apostles on the day of Pentecost; that at no time subsequent to the days of the Apostles has there existed such conditions in the earth as amount to a complete fulfillment of Joel's prophecy; therefore in some time future from the days of the Apostles we may look forward to a universal outpouring of God's Holy Spirit upon all flesh, resulting in a universal peace and wide-spread knowledge of God, brought about, unquestionably, by a subsequent dispensation from that in which Peter wrought--the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times, in which God promises to "gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth; even in Him."[A] [Footnote A: Eph. i:10.] LESSON XXIX. (Scripture Reading Exercise.) CONFLICTING THEORIES--(Continued.) ANALYSIS. I. Questions Respecting the Meridian Dispensation and the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times Considered. II. Daniel's Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days. REFERENCES. The Authorities quoted in the notes are all the references the Editor and Compiler has to offer in this Lesson. NOTES. _1. Daniel's Prophecy of the Rise of the Kingdom of God in the Last Days:_ The second special Scripture to which I have promised a separate consideration is the prophecy of Daniel relative to the succession of the great earth empires; and the final establishment of the Kingdom of God, which in "the last days" shall fill the whole earth and remain forever. By an error on the part of Christian writers, Daniel's prophecy concerning the Kingdom of God to be set up in "the last days" is supposed to have been fulfilled by the founding of "The spiritual kingdom of Christ" in the days of Messiah's earthly ministry; and therefore the conclusion is drawn that those days were "the last days," and the dispensation then ushered in, the final dispensation of the Gospel. It is my purpose here to refute that error.
