Does 'the last lecture' refer to the lecture immediately preceding one

During the last lecture, we learned about Toki Jonin and the background of this Gosho“A Sage Knows the Three Existences of Life.” Then I talked about the first passage “A sage is one who knows in full the three existences of life – past, present and future.”

Does 'the last lecture' refer to the lecture immediately preceding the one the priest is now delivering?

Thanks.

Hello tamguatlay
I'm a English beginning learner and I'd like to ask you about a certain word you have used.

Does 'the last lecture' refer to the lecture immediately preceding the one the priest is now delivering?
Can we use 'immediately' in such a case as your example?
I don't know well, but isn't it more proper to use 'proximately' in place of 'immediatel

It's possible that it could be, for example, the last lecture delivered in the preceding semester. Only more context could make this clear.

I am not presenting this as likely, merely possible.
