What does ‘latter days’ mean in Deut. 4:30?

---

The original language literally says, “in the end of the days,” a common OT expression denoting the far future (see the same expression in Num. 24:14). Although the phrase is also frequently used in the Bible to point to Messiah, His Second Coming, and kingdom (see Isa. 2:2; Hosea 3:5; Acts 2:17; Heb. 1:1, 2; 1 Peter 1:20; 1 John 2:18) this does not appear to be its meaning in Deuteronomy.
