Do you agree that everyday is Judgment day?
In one way, yes....we are all on notice to practice what we preach, so because Jesus judged the Pharisees adversely because of their hypocrisy, we do not want his words to apply to those who teach us. The Pharisees were responsible for leading the whole nation away from Jesus...only a "remnant" responded as it was prophesied.

Its not that God requires us to be perfect, but simply that we obey him through the teachings of his son, despite our own sinful tendencies...each day reflecting on what we might have done differently and learning from our mistakes.
This why repentance and forgiveness are such a blessing.

But there is the greater Judgment Day, called the "day of Jehovah" by the ancient prophets....
Zephaniah prophesied about that day..."before the decree takes effect—before the day passes away like chaff—before there comes upon you the burning anger of the Lord, before there comes upon you the day of the anger of the Lord.
3 Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord." (Zephaniah 2:2-3 ESV)

It was pointed to by Jesus and his apostles as well, so it is yet future....
Paul wrote...
1 Thessalonians 2:2-5...(ESV)
"For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness."

This is the time when Jesus arrives as judge with all his angelic forces, as well as his elect, to bring the curtain down on the devil's world and to eliminate from existence all who oppose God's incoming Kingdom with Jesus at the helm. A tribulation, greater than anything that has ever gripped the world before, will descend upon mankind without warning. (Matthew 24:21) It will culminate in the "war of the great day of God the Almighty" at "Armageddon". (Revelation 16:14-16)

As Habakkuk warns..."For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay."


It is "slow" from the human standpoint, but not from the viewpoint of a timeless God, who sees where all things will take place with salvation for the maximum number of people. He does not desire any to be destroyed.....(2 Peter 3:9)
