Subject: In the last days, young men shall see vi |
Bible Note: In the last days, young men shall see visions. This was fulfilled very literally by Joseph Smith. As for "old men dreaming dreams," read about the tremendous conversion stories that mark the restoration of the gospel. Some people say that it was completely fulfilled at the day of Pentecost, but that cannot be the case because: the day of Pentecost was not the last days – the world still had 2000 years or more to go. the rest of the prophecy, concerning signs and wonders, was not fulfilled then but is being fulfilled right now. When Peter quoted this prophecy in Acts 2, his purpose was only to demonstrate that such things are authentic signs of the spirit and therefore the Christians were not mad or drunk. There is no reason to suppose that Peter meant anything more than that. |
