What is the difference between 'the day of God' and 'the day of the Lord'?

Hello there,

What is the difference between 'the day of God' and 'the day of the Lord'?

'Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.'
(2 Peter 3:12)

* Revelation 20:11-15 to Revelation 22:8

'I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,'
(Rev 1:10)

'For yourselves know perfectly
that the day of the Lord so cometh
as a thief in the night.'
(1 Thessalonians 5:2)

* Isaiah 13:6,9; Ezekiel 13:5; Joel 1:15; 2:1,11; Amos 5:18, 20; Obadiah 1:15:16; Zephaniah 1:7,14; Malachi 4:5.

*Does not 'the day of God' follow 'the day of the Lord', and result in righteousness and peace?

Thank you
In Christ Jesus
Chris

No difference whatsoever.

Verse 7 -- "the day of judgment"

Verse 10 -- the day of the Lord (LORD in the OT)

Verse 12 -- the day of God

Some people believe that the Lord's day is Sunday. But because the book of Revelation is about the second coming, it could also be about the day of the Lord.

Thanks for this thread. I will be interested in knowing what people think on this subject since I want to produce a video series.

We pray, "Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"

This part of the Lord's prayer speaks about an age during which the Father's will shall be done on earth. This will be the age of his kingdom, during which his son will rule from Zion and Jerusalem will be known as the City of Righteousness.

The Day of the Lord, I believe, is the run-up to that age, when God brings darkness and doom on the earth.
Isaiah 13:6, Isaiah 13:9, Amos 5:18, Amos 5:20, Joel 1:15, Ezekiel 30:3

The Lord's Day is the first day of the week. (1) The day on which Christ became the firstfruits of resurrection, (2) the day on which Thomas worshiped Christ as "My Lord, and my God", (3) the day of Pentecost when about 3,000 souls were saved, (4) the day on which Christians gather around the Lord's Table to partake of the Lord's Supper and worship, and (5) to be in the Spirit on the Lord's Day (Rev 1:10).

The Lord's Day has absolutely nothing in common with "the day of the LORD" -- A PERIOD OF SEVERE DIVINE JUDGMENTS.

Don't forget that the Lord's Prayer was given to the disciples BEFORE the Day of Pentecost. Jesus only preached the New Covenant that began after His death and when the Holy Spirit was poured out on all who repented unto Jesus.

“The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

But do you have another verse that actually states it is the first day of the week and calls that day, the Lord's day. That is why I gave an option to keep your mind open. There is no commandment in the New Covenant that says there is a specific day that is above others, as in the Old Testament (Sabbath).

Forgive me CharismaticLady, I don't see the connection you are making. Please elaborate?

The kingdom is WITHIN US, but I assume it has to do with the indwelling Spirit of God. Romans 8:9

The kingdom is WITHIN US, but I assume it has to do with the indwelling Spirit of God. Romans 8:9

'And when He was demanded of the Pharisees,
when the kingdom of God should come,
He answered them and said,
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there!
for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.'
(Luke 17:20)

Hello @CharismaticLady,

The Pharisees were watching the Lord with hostility, seeking ways whereby they may trip Him up, and justify their desire to bring Him down, they were His bitter enemies. So, on that basis alone the Lord would not tell them that the kingdom of God was 'within' them. They had no faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but sought to destroy Him. No, He was telling them, that the Kingdom of God was indeed 'within them', or 'in the midst of them': for their King was present with them. With the presence of the King the Kingdom was already there among them.

* Also, the Holy Spirit had not yet been given.

In Christ Jesus

What is the difference between 'the day of God' and 'the day of the Lord'?

The two are used interchangeably however reference to 'the Lords Day' is a different matter. In the context used it is referring to the Sabbath of the fourth Commandment.

Hello there,

Thank you for your responses.

I believe that every word is of importance in God's word, and that terms used are used with a purpose, so if it says, 'The Lord's Day' or 'The Day of God'(or 'of Jehovah') those differences should be noted and the reason for them searched out.

Regarding the use of the term, 'The Lord's day,' of Revelation 1:10: I believe that John was taken 'in the Spirit' (Revelation 4:2; see e.g., Ezekiel 8:3 ) to that period of time called, 'The Day of the Lord', and that the visions shown to him, to record faithfully in a book for future generations to read and take note of, record the events of that period of time (Isaiah 2:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Peter 3:10); and not what Christians have subsequently referred to as 'the Lord's day' or our Sunday.

Thank you
In Christ Jesus

I agree. We are always to walk in the Spirit, and are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Romans 8:9) so for John to make it specific, other than normal, it was a special time of visions. What visions? The Day of the Lord.
