On the day the Lord saves His people....
Isaiah 30:26 .....the sun will shine with seven times its usual brightness and the moon will be as bright as the sun, like seven days on one.
Isaiah 63:4 I resolved on a Day of vengeance, the year for redeeming My own had come.
These verses, along with many others, tell us that His people – righteous Christian Israelites, all the faithful Christian peoples, will be protected and redeemed on the same Day that the Lord takes vengeance on His enemies.
A graphic description of Day of vengeance is in Psalms 18:7-15 ....He parted the heavens and came down....He flew on the back of a cherub.....He made darkness His covering. Thick clouds came from the radiance before Him... He hurled forth lightning shafts.
Verses 10-11 describe the Lords mode of transport and that He won’t actually be seen then- “dense vapour His canopy”. Whereas, at His glorious Return, on a white horse and accompanied by the armies of heaven, all the world will see. Revelation 1:7, 19:11
Although this Day of the Lord’s wrath is described in Isaiah as Day of a bright flash, then the sun darkened, the reason for this is a Coronal Mass Ejection, an explosion of the suns surface, the Electro-Magnetic Pulse of which will actually microwave the earth’s crust. Deuteronomy 32:22
What will happen then is; earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, resulting in plenty of smoke and ash clouds. Isaiah 30:25-30
It is perfectly obvious that what is prophesied at this Day of vengeance is not the same as at His Return, when He destroys the armies of the Anti Christ with the Sword of His Word.
We know that the Return of Jesus comes at the end of the Tribulation and the last “week”- the final seven years, of this age. Therefore that great event is still some time away, years after the Day of vengeance, when His people, righteous Christian Israelites will gather and settle in the Promised Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16
The wonderful promises that the Lord has made to His people – gathered, redeemed and settled in the Land of Greater Israel must be fulfilled; Zechariah 9:16-17, Romans 9:24-26
