I am currently teaching through the book of Acts. In Chapter 2 we read a prophecy of Joel. This prophecy provides a much-needed correction to much modern theology, especially Covenant Postmillennialism.
One advantage that we have as believers in Jesus Christ that the Hebrew people did not have is an understanding that the last days would be marked by two appearances of Messiah. Jesus came first as a suffering servant depicted in Isaiah 53. Jesus Himself quoted Isaiah 53:12 when He said, “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).
