The Mountain of the House of the Lord (Isaiah 2)

“In the last days…”

The expression the latter days “never refers to the course of history immediately following the time being, but invariably indicates the furthest point in the history of this life – the point which lies on the outermost limits of the speaker’s horizon.” – Delitzsch

“In the last days…” “Therefore, the latter days spoken of by Isaiah are to be understood as that period in which God would make known His law through Jesus Christ and send it forth from Jerusalem and from Zion. Isaiah was speaking of that which began on Pentecost and continues now. We are living in ‘the last times’; these are the latter days.” – Homer Hailey
