    Hi Rohit. I think you're referring to some of Jesus' last words to the apostles in Acts 1:4,5. Or maybe to Peter's preaching to those unbelievers during Pentecost in Acts 2:14-21 (as written by the prophet Joel).

    If so, then Peter was referring to Joel 2:28-32. A part of this prophecy has taken place at Pentecost (the birth of the Church) and the latter part of the prophecy (vv 30,31) is yet to take place. But all these events are placed in what is referred to as 'the last days' (i.e. the whole period of time from Jesus being sacrificed for our sins, His Spirit poured out upon those who've come to Him in faith, & the Church moving on & growing through evangelization & strengthening of the faithful, & eagerly waiting for the time when God finally begins to close the curtains of this age).
