"THE DAY OF THE LORD"

[Robert Pate]

The day of the Lord has nothing to do with the Sabbath day. It appears to me that "The Day of the Lord" is about the return of Christ. "For yourselves know perfectly that "The Day of the Lord" so comes as a thief in the night" 1 Thessalonians 5:2.

And then Peter wrote,"But "The Day of the Lord" will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up" 2 Peter 3:10.

Even some of the Old Testament prophets spoke of "The Day of the Lord" "Alas for "The Day of the Lord" is at hand, and as a destruction from the almighty shall it come" Joel 1:15.

Isaiah the prophet said, "For "The Day of the Lord" of host shall be upon everyone that is proud and lofty, and upon everyone that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low" Isaiah 2:12.

"Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in "The Day of the Lord's" wrath ; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all of them that dwell in the land" Zephaniah 1:18.

These scriptures speak of the judgment that Jesus will execute when he returns. We must assume that "The Day of the Lord" is the day of judgment. No one likes to talk about judgment, especially the unsaved, God is a God of judgment. If he didn't judge he would not be holy and righteous. His judgments are perfect and complete, unlike the judgments of men.

When Jesus appears in the Eastern sky all that are not "In Christ" will wail because of him, Revelation 1:7. All that have rejected him and his Gospel, will hide in caves and call for the rocks to fall on them, "For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?"
Revelation 6:16, 17. Only those that are "In Christ" will be able to stand, not only will they stand they will be caught up to be with him, Colossians 3:4.

Yes, Christ will judge lackadaisical Israel, not just the Jews but all of Israel. It is the time of Jacob's trouble. (Jeremiah 30:7)

Good post. Very timely.

The day of the Lord is the day of the Lord's appearing which will culminate in the books of Daniel and Revelation. Definitely longer than a day probably 7 to 9 years from beginning to end.

The Day of the Lord (referred as Trumpets) comes after Pentecost, which is the harvest of the firstfruits, Christ's ecclesia.

There will be seven trumpet sounds.

At the last trumpet sound... "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptable and we shall be changed" 1 Corinthians 15:52.

The day of the Lord is the day of the Lord's appearing. Some of the day of the Lord prophecies deal with the first coming of Christ and many more deal with the second coming and the time of God's wrath on the world. This why Jesus omitted the 'day of vengeance' when he read from Isa. 61 because that will not occur until the seven last plagues are poured out just prior to the second coming.

7 to 9 or a 1,000 years

The Day of the Lord is the Kingdom of God , Christ comes with His saints to reign, putting down all rule and authority. God will put all His enemies under His feet.

THEN comes the final resurrection and judgement

The seventh seal is comprised of seven trumpet plaques. The last trumpet that Paul referred to is not a plaque, it is the first resurrection.

It's a time of darkness and gloominess caused by war. (Joel 2:2-3)

THEN comes the final resurrection and judgement

After the millennial reign. (Revelation 20:3)

The "Lords Day" is already here.....Jesus is already ruling as King.... As you already mentioned in 2 Peter 3:10 the Lord (Jesus) has already come as a "Thief in the night". His presence is invisible as he is ruling from the Heavens. But the signs of his presence are evident from the 'signs' via his prophecys that he left us in the Bible.

Not so. No, Jesus has not returned yet.

Jesus is NOT ruling from heaven. If anything the devil is in charge.

Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. (Matthew 24:26-27)​

[Lazy afternoon]

It's a time of darkness and gloominess caused by war. (Joel 2:2-3)

The 6th trumpet is the sign which preceedes the 7th trumpet return of Christ and the resurrection.

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.


Joe 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

The following preceeds His coming.


Joe 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joe 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Joe 2:4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Joe 2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Joe 2:6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Joe 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joe 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Joe 2:9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joe 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

Really?

Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Psalm 96:10-13

The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.
Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.
Psalm 97:1-3

The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.
The Lord is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people.
Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.
Psalm 99:1-3

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Isaiah 52:7-10

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6-7

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
I Corinthians 15:24-26

While it is true that the world has been a stage to contrast the governments of man with the government of God, at no time has God abdicated His throne and at no time has anything in the earth gone on without His permitting and even directing it at some level. As if to directly refute your statement about Jesus NOT ruling from heaven, He says this :

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:36

Remember all the parables about the Kingdom of God...remember the one about the leaven - it isn't something that just appears all at once and enforces itself (externally) upon all. Rather, it is there but hidden at first until it works its way throughout the whole "lump".

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Luke 13:20-21

The external revelation of the Kingdom is the final end of the kingdoms of this world - but the Kingdom of God and its King still rule even if visibly things don't appear to be that way. Things get worse because Satan knows his time is short - not because he is ruling.

 

[Totton Linnet]

You said the Day of the Lord is the kingdom of God, but it's not.

The Kingdom of God is that Kingdom over which Christ will reign with His saints for a thousand years


...Amilleniualists preach the Kingdom then subtract the actual Kingdom

 

[jamie]

The Kingdom of God is that Kingdom over which Christ will reign with His saints for a thousand years

The kingdom of God will be established over all of the earth when Jesus Christ shows himself to the world.
