All SAME event and SAME timing.
The "day of the Lord" that ENDS this present world
The great and notable day of the Lord in Joel, was confirmed by Peter as the first coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh.
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It is with that day of the Lord coming in the flesh, that last days
of man's rule is on earth, and whosoever calls on the Lord shall now be saved, because the Spirit is now poured out upon all flesh.
That notable day of the Lord Resurrected on earth, is these last days, beginning with His coming in the flesh.
That notable day of the Lord will also be His return to earth with power, to end man's rule on earth, and to rule for Himself over all the earth.
That notable day of the Lord will then end with fire of God devouring all the last enemies of God and His saints on this earth.
It is one great and notable day of the lord in three separate events of the Lord coming to earth Himself, first in the flesh, then with resurrection power, then sending fire of God down from heaven.
It's the same as Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and these three are one God in Three Persons. So that is one day of God is in three events.
That day's second event is not the first, and the 3rd event is not the second.
was first given by God through His Old Testament prophets. Even in Jeremiah when many interpret the "day of the Lord" phrase to mean when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, God was simply showing how many of the events in Daniel's day are to symbolize the very end of this world, and the 'final' day of this world (i.e., the "day of the Lord").
The word that the LORD spake to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and smite the land of Egypt.
It's about the day of the Lord using Babylon to defeat Egypt, who was coming up against Jerusalem.
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
It foreshadows the Lord Himself doing the same with the nations of the north coming across Euphrates to Armageddon against Jerusalem.
Why are thy valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
It speaks with the same manner of Zech 14 prophesying the day of the Lord's return to earth.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Even as the Lord set Babylon against Egypt, so will He set the armies at Armageddon against one another, when He comes in His bright glory.
In 2 Peter 3:10-11, Peter is actually quoting from those OT prophets about that "day of the Lord" event that will END this present world time. And Peter directly associates God's consuming fire burning man's works off this earth with that "day of the Lord". That means NONE of man's works will survive that coming fire on the last day.
True. When the thousand years of the Lord's earthly reign expires.
So it's ignorant to even argue about the devil or his servants still being in power after that fire God will bring upon the earth to end this 'present' world when Jesus returns.
True. Neither after His return and during His reign, nor after their last gathering and being devoured, at the end of His reign.
The Gog-Magog nation alignment of Ezekiel 38 is happening NOW.
If so, they are the Gog that will cross Euphrates to Armageddon from the north countries.
They are not the Gog and Magog from all corners of the earth.
Ezekiel 39 events culminate the end of this present world. Ezekiel 40 thru 47 is Christ's Millennial reign, with His Millennial temple.
The end of nations of men ruling on this earth.
It is easy to 'know'... that the mention of Gog-Magog in Rev.20 is NOT about the armies of Satan's host coming up against Jerusalem at the battle of Armageddon. The event of Armageddon is for this 'PRESENT' world time.
You're getting confusing here. You are saying that the Lord's return and slaughter of armies at Armageddon is with fire of God in Rev 20?
And then you rightly say Gog and Magog in Rev 20, cannot be those at Armageddon in Rev 17 and 19?
It looks like you are transplanting the fire of God to Armageddon, while distancing those armies from Gog and Magog, upon whom the fire of God comes down to devour.
And Armageddon happens on the "day of the Lord", i.e., the last day of this present world, the 7th Vial per Rev.16.
The Gog-Magog peoples in Rev.20 represents those whom Satan deceives into coming up against the "camp of the saints" and the "beloved city", and is for AFTER Christ's future "thousand years" reign as written. The Armageddon/Ezek.38 nations come against DECEIVED JEWS IN JERUSALEM, not Christian saints.
Once again, you make a single day of the Lord's return with Rev 19 and 20, and yet confirm they cannot be the same event.
Thus the "camp of the saints" and "beloved city" marker in Rev.20 reveals...
1. Christ's future "thousand years" reign WITH His elect saints declared in that Rev.20 will be a REAL EVENT.
True.
2. The "beloved city", pointing to future Jerusalem, and as the "camp of the saints" points directly to Christ's Church in power there, something that has never happened during this present world, nor is it prophesied to happen for this present world time.
Once again, your use of
this present world, and world time is misleading.
It's much clearer to simply say the end of man ruling over this earth. It will end with the Lord's return to rule over all the earth with His saints. They will have a little season after a thousand years, and then man's rule on this earth will end once for all.
