What is the significance of the phrase 'last days' in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The 'last days' signify the gospel age that began with Christ's first coming and extends until His second coming.

In biblical prophecy, the term 'last days' refers to the gospel age initiated by the advent of Jesus Christ. This concept is crucial for understanding the timeline of God's redemptive plan. According to Micah 4:1, these last days mark a period when God's Church, His spiritual kingdom, becomes established above all others. The prophets of the Old Testament, including Micah and Isaiah, recognize a time coming that would surpass previous covenants and rituals. It signifies that the final dispensations of God's grace are unfolding, culminating in Christ's return. This age is characterized by the unencumbered access to God through Christ, allowing sinners to draw near by faith during this privileged time of grace.
