Your whole post was excellent except this one. Day of the Lord means merely a time period of undefined length. While it is true that that hemera primarily means a day, it also can and does mean a time period in general. context determines.
I know (I think) what you are getting at, that the DOTL encompasses both God's wrath and Jesus 1000 year reign on earth. I buy that also, but I was just pointing to the time period between when the wrath falls and when Jesus' 2nd coming happens. I think Daniel 12 is key. The three numbers tell us everything.
Dan. 12:6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river,
How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and
sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (So, the AC rules for 1260 days, until ALL THESE WONDERS as seen in Dan. 11:36-45, end via Jesus' 2nd coming we now know)
8 And I heard, but I understood not:
then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Notice question on by the angel in red, is pretty much the same as question 2 by Daniel, O Lord what shall be the END OF THESE THINGS. So, why do we all want to invert the other two numbers into a new configuration? They both also end when the 2nd coming happens, thus the larger the number of days means the further away from the 2nd coming these events start, meaning the larger numbers come first.
Dan. 12:11 And
from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12
Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
So, 1335 days before the 2nd coming we see a Blessing, those living at that time will be blessed by some "unknown event". That event is the 2 witnesses showing up to turn Israel back unto God as Malachi 4:5 says and as Zech. 13:8-9 shows us, the 1/3 repent, and guess what the next verse says, in Zech. 14:1 it says the DOTL arrives !! Vs 2 shows Jerusalem being conquered and vs. 3 Jesus' 2nd coming.
This also fits the 1290 being a defiled temple, the temple has to be cleansed before it can be defiled right? God rent the temple and left, he will not return to any temple until they accept Jesus as the Messiah, those are not animal sacrifices (which God detests because they chose The Law over The Promised Redeemer) that are taken away, those 1/3 Jews who repent (5 million) start worshiping Jesus in the temple, and the False Prophet (a Jewish High Priest like unto Jason under Antiochus Epiphanes) will come out with and edict saying Jesus worship in "his temple" is FOREBIDDEN (he takes away THE REAL sacrifice, not some profane meat sacrifice God abhors). This happens 30 days before God's wrath falls, thus when the Jews see this Jewish High priest false prophet, place an IMAGE of this man (as Rev. 13 so clearly says he does) whom I think will be the E.U. President, the Jews who repented know they have 30 days to flee Judea unto the Jordanian Mountains (Petra/Bozrah). The AC has not even conquered Jerusalem yet, that happens 30 days later at the middle of the 70th week events, at the 1260.
So, why are the False Prophet and E.U. President in cahoots politically? The Dan. 9:27 agreement is not what most think, it is not a "Peace Agreement" instead it is Israel joining the E.U.
Give it a think................smile. Haven't been on here in a while, my mom died in May, had a bunch of stuff going on. All you guys have a blessed day.
