The great moments of Salvation in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation are marked as being "BONE-DAY" days.
Adam and Eve
Noah
Abraham
Joseph
Passover of Yahweh
Jesus Christ's Last Passover
Christ's Return at The Great and Terrible Day of the LORD
The glorious Return of Jesus is NOT His terrible Day of fiery wrath.
That sudden and unexpected Day; the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster, is years earlier, it will set the scene for all that must happen before His Return.
In Ezekiel 34:11-16, the prophet tells the story of how all the Lord’s people, Christian Israelites, of Judah, Israel and people grafted in: are gathered, redeemed and settled into all of the holy Land. However, before then, the story unfolds;
Isaiah 41:1 -
Keep silent before Me you coasts and islands.... Five steps are mentioned here by the prophet;
keep silent – When ancient Israel migrated from their captivity in Assyria, they remained hidden until they
regained their strength.
Then,
let them come near – awaken to the true gospel, evangelism from John Wycliffe to Billy Graham, etc.
Let them speak – proclaim the good news around the world.
Still to come is ‘
Let us meet in the place of judgement’ Isaiah 41:8-9 God will soon call His people back to the Land, where the administration of His commandments and Laws will be restored. Ezekiel 36:27
Jeremiah 3:8 Israel and Judah divorced from God and sent into captivity for their sins.
Then God took Ezekiel in a vision to a valley full of dry bones;
Ezekiel 37:11
These bones are the whole house of Israel [All the 12 tribes]
They say: our hope is gone, we are cut off. [from God]
Ezekiel 37:9-10
The Lord God says: let the winds [Gods spirit]
come and breath into the slain [dead to the Gospel]
that they might live. They came to life and stood up- a mighty company! [of Christians]
Ezekiel 37:12-13
I will bring you up from your graves [our present condition]
and restore you to the Land of Israel.
Through Isaiah, God gives a message to the House of Israel, identifying them as a people who have lost the knowledge of their origin and forgotten their ancestors.
Isaiah 51:1-2
Listen to Me, all you who know the Law [the common Judeo-Christian Law of our countries]
You who seek the Lord [Christian peoples]
consider your origin, where you came from- Abraham and Sarah are your parents. I blessed them and now you are their offspring. Galatians 6:14-16
God is looking forward to the day when the redemptive work of the Lord Jesus is completed. His sacrifice of atonement and salvation is made available to all who accept it and acknowledge their Creator. Everyone who has the faith of Abraham, is deemed to be his offspring. Galatians 3:26-29 One of the Israel of God. Galatians 6:16
The great awakening of all the Israelites is symbolically represented as life from the dead, for through the Resurrection of Jesus, God demonstrates His power and is enabled to do this; Ezekiel 37:14
I shall put My spirit into you and you will live. [a true Godly life]
Thus you will know that I, the Lord has acted and spoken.
And in Ezekiel 37:26-28
I shall make an everlasting covenant with Israel. My sanctuary will be in their midst, I will be their God and they will be My people.
The Glory of God will be present in the new Temple, as in ancient times. Ezekiel 43:1-4
The Return of Jesus for His Millennial reign comes later.
