If Peter said Christ appeared in these last times, were they in the last days then or is this talking about us in July 2025 (1 Peter 1:20)?

If Peter said Christ "has appeared in these last times for the sake of you" (1 Peter 1:20), then those "last times" were already happening when Peter was writing, nearly 2,000 years ago.

That means the last days were not in July 2025.

Think about it:

Peter wasn't pointing to a distant future.

He was speaking to a first-century audience, saying plainly: These are the last times.

That matches Hebrews 1:2: "in these last days has spoken to us in His Son"

And Acts 2:16-17, where Peter says Joel's prophecy of the last days was being fulfilled right then.

So no, we're not still waiting for the last days.

They were living in them.

Jesus appeared in them.

And judgment on Old Covenant Israel came at the end of them.

The idea that we are in the last days today is a misunderstanding of the timeline and context. The Bible already marked that time, fulfilled, on schedule, just like God planned.
