I don't think it is necessary to conclude from the Resurrection of Jesus that we are in the last days. The last day pertains to the general resurrection of all people, not to the Resurrection of the Messiah. You can think of him (and the Blessed Mother) as an exception. That is one reason why he is called the "first fruits"; he is set apart from the rest of mankind and comes before them.

Actually,

Scripture itself, the Apostles themselves stated that we were in the last days. They believed the Second Coming and the Resurrection of the Dead were imminent, perhaps in their lifetimes. This is evident when we read various epistles.  But they didn't set dates.  Being in the age of the Church,  with the establishment of the New Covenant, we entered the last days.  We don't know how long they will last. We know we're one day closer today than we were yesterday.  Jesus admonishes us both: not to be setting dates and to look for the sign of the times. Interestingly enough the last sign He mentions is that the Gospel will be preached to every nation, not every person, but every nation.  Then He adds, and then the end will come.   Of course, we don't know exactly how long it will be between the preaching of the Gospel to every nation, which if it hasn't happened, is close to happening, and the end.  There are probably other things that need to be fulfilled, like, Israel coming to Christ . . . after the Day of the Gentiles has been fulfilled (See Paul's letter to the Romans Chapter 9,10, and 11) . . . so we don't know, we can only wait, watch and be about living holy lives and sharing the Gospel.  But yes, I'd have to say that the wait of scripture indicates that we are in the last days.
