The Day of The Lord, Wrong Timing Applied

[Timtofly]

The Age of God's Grace is a figurative 1000 year space of time, being open ended from the Day of Pentecost (actual second coming, without visual observation), UNTIL God the Father ALONE ends His Age of Grace. That will come to pass when "the mark of the beast" is implemented and mandated to all people, on a global scale.
2 Peter 3:8-9, Matthew 24:35-37.

"The Day of the Lord" begins on Jesus third coming in flaming fire from Heaven. Romans 9:28
That Day is a simultaneous event. Luke 17:28-30.
1. for the Redemption of all His Saints,
2. and the destruction of all the unsaved.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-10

This current age is the fulness of the Gentiles. It is not the 1,000 years mentioned in Revelation 20.

The current age is also the age to come, where the kingdom of God is without observation in Paradise. Meaning local churches are not the kingdom, being observable, but they are ambassadors of that unseen kingdom to gather the Gentile harvest into that kingdom of Paradise. They in Paradise are Iike the angels, and they do not procreate. They do have permanent incorruptible physical bodies, per 2 Corinthians 5:1. Jesus told the thief on the Cross, today thou shalt be with Me, the Lord God, in Paradise. That was the start of the kingdom of God, along with all the OT redeemed removed from Abraham's bosom.

Those ambassadors on earth, the redeemed would no longer taste death, Abraham's bosom. They would leave this dead corruptible adamic flesh, that is only temporary, for that permanent incorruptible physical body in Paradise. No more graves for the OT at the Cross. No more graves for the NT redeemed. All the church as one body would be in Paradise waiting for the Second Coming to be glorified.

The Day of the Lord is after the Second Coming. As that is when it starts in flaming fire, cleansing the earth of all wickedness. But the process takes place over time in the Trumpets and Thunders of the final harvest per Matthew 13. And if necessary, Satan may get 42 months depending on if God deems it necessary. That is if some are left over after the final harvest who will choose to be beheaded instead of taking the mark.

All those post trib/final harvest people are those who have to choose beheading. Obviously they missed the Second Coming and the final harvest, but claim they will survive to have their heads chopped off in those final 42 months given to Satan in Revelation 13. All of Adam's dead flesh will be the grapes in the winepress at the end of the sounding of the 7th Trumpet. Revelation 14. No one will be alive at that point.

A resurrection starts the 1,000 year reign. So sin is not resurrected. Sin will be eliminated totally. Romans 5 shows sin passed upon all humanity even without the law. The Millennium will be righteousness passed upon on all humanity under the iron rod rule. No disobedience will be tolerated, nor natural.

Those in the Millennium will be born both physically and spiritually at conception. No longer needing a second birth by choice or faith. No one seems to grasp this concept that the earth will be restored to the condition prior to Adam's disobedience.

Augustine wrote volumes on the subject and all that modern humans can conclude from Augustine is the Amil denial of the 1,000 year reign of Christ as King on this restored earth?

Elijah and Moses were changed directly by God as the two witnesses, the olive trees of the OT, considered to be the representatives of the Law and Prophets. Telling us that God cannot change people when God deems it necessary, is just human opinion. For someone who is constantly requiring one to think spiritually, this sentiment about Moses and Elijah is furthest from the spiritual mind of Christ and only focusing on human failed understanding. Moses spent 40 days in the direct presence of God. God did not condescend to Moses' sinful condition. God changed Moses out of Adam's dead corruptible flesh to be able to commune directly with God. It is plausible that Elijah was Enoch who went to heaven before the Flood, and returned to earth on multiple occasions to act as a spiritual guide to Israel. God can indeed place sin in the world and remove sin at will. God can also change humans for His direct purpose. To place limits on God's sovereignty is meaningless. I am not sure why many try to explain away the spiritual aspect of life in the OT. It was way more real than western thought today, that has literally done away with any thing spiritual, and has turned into modern humanism.

This current age is the fulness of the Gentiles.

Iows, as Jesus came to the Jews in the flesh of His first coming, offering God's forgiveness of sin to the Jews first, but was rejected and crucified by them, Jesus then fulfilled His promise to them, by leaving their house desolate, and has been coming to ALL people, since the Day of Pentecost by the Holy Spirit,........ unobservably

Yes indeed, I DO understand.
Zechariah 14[8] is being fulfilled.
And it shall be in that day [Pentecost], that living waters shall go out FROM Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

One day you will understand in full not just in your spiritual reasoning. The physical is not a separate creation. You just choose to reject the physical part of creation. Your substitution is not the same thing as the real creation both spiritual and physical.

Actually, I am doing ABSOLUTELY fine, now that I am no longer in denial of His Truth, both in His words and BY His Holy Spirit. John 4:23-24.

It is by the neglect of that concept (John 16:13) that church-ianity has gone over the cliff, and has traded "the power of God" for the "might and power" "of the wisdom of men", through their Bible Colleges. KJV 1 Corinthians 2:5, Zechariah 4:6.

"There can always be more than one lie, but there can never be more than one truth"- Earburner.

 

[Earburner]

BTW, you might gain a better understanding of Zechariah 14:8, which has been fulfilled and still is being fulfilled to this day
And it shall be in that day [Pentecost], that living waters** shall go out FROM Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
**Edit:
John.7[38] He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Do you recall the book of Remembrance in Malachi 3:16? Well, all the names of OT Israel, who died in faith, waiting for The Promised one to come, WERE written in that book. But those names are not there anymore.
They WERE translated over into the Lamb's book of Life. You can find them in Revelation 6:9-11. They are of "the former sea", being OT Israel of faith.

But now, though those OT saints are dead, under the altar, the Lord gave to them the Holy Spirit also, and they are now asleep in Jesus, still waiting for Jesus third and final coming also.

As for "the hinder sea", well that's simple. It's ALL people who have lived since Pentecost, who have faith in Jesus, the Promised One who came.
And while we are still mortal, through faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to us (unobservably), to dwell within us for all eternity. 2 Corinthians 4:7
They all who have died in faith (former sea), and we also who are alive in faith (the hinder sea), are still waiting for the Lord's Third coming, in the Gloriy of His immortality.

 

[Timtofly]

They WERE translated over into the Lamb's book of Life. You can find them in Revelation 6:9-11. They are of "the former sea", being OT Israel of faith.

You cannot transfer names nor edit a book that is sealed shut. The whole point of the sealed Lamb's book of life is that God cannot play favorites with human souls. The book of Remembrance is a separate account of what humans do. It is always open and being recorded to.

Let's look at how simple it really is.
John 14[16] And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

[17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

[18] I will not leave you comfortless:
I will come to you.

Luke.17[21] Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Rev.3[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Romans 8[9].....Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Who IS "the kingdom of God", that comes without observation?

The church currently enjoying Paradise in incorruptible physical bodies is the kingdom of God that cannot be seen by those in temporal flesh on earth.

Living in submission to the Holy Spirit as an Ambassador on earth is like one of those bite size taste test in a store, compared to living in the store, and never running out.

You cannot transfer names nor edit a book that is sealed shut. The whole point of the sealed Lamb's book of life is that God cannot play favorites with human souls. The book of Remembrance is a separate account of what humans do. It is always open and being recorded to.

In Malachi 3:16, who are some of the famous names of the people that would be written in the book of Remembrance? Maybe you can name a few.
Were they people under the OC or the NC?

Now, without the shed blood of Jesus Christ, a person's sins cannot be removed.
Heb.10[4] For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away [remove] sins.

However, under the Temple sacrifices, sins would be forgiven, but only on an annual basis. If one didn't show up for the Temple sacrificial services, they had no forgiveness of sin for that entire year.

God the Father, who is Holy, cannot permanently dwell in anyone, whose sins are ONLY forgiven under the annual Temple sacrificial services. Therefore, God could only VISIT upon a person for a short time, but then He had to leave them.
Iows, just as we need our sins to be removed by the shed blood of Christ, the Father also needed Jesus just as much, but for His purposes of being able to dwell within us permanently.

The OT saints, who were looking for the coming of Messiah, died in faith, but did NOT HAVE "the Promise" of the Gift of eternal life (1 John 5:12-13) Though dead, all who were "remembered" by God,
were not forgotten by Him, knowing that they also needed the Gift of the Holy Spirit (white robes).
Revelation 6:9-11 reveals that fact, and now, they are asleep IN JESUS. Romans 8:9.

Those, who were of faith under the OC, most surely are NOW in the book of Life, who is Jesus!

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."

The book of Remembrance is the recording of one's works.

The Lamb's book of life is a list of names due to the work of the Lamb on the Cross.

Two separate books for separate purposes.

You cannot work your way into the Lamb's book of life.

Every single soul ever to be conceived was in the Lamb's book of life before Genesis 1:1. The book was sealed then, and has never been opened to be edited, to remove names, nor add names.

It was already around when God brought Israel out of Egypt. The book of Remembrance is edited daily with man's works as they are happening. Unless you think it was prophetic and finished being written even before creation? It is called the book of Remembrance, not the book of God's Foreknowledge.

"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works."

Not just a single book. Many at that point will be removed from the Lamb's book of life because they will be judged from the book of Remembrance, and still refuse the Atonement Covenant: the Lamb's book of life.

1. Through faith, I have already appeared before the JSoC, and have been declared "not condemned". John 3:18
2. No. "....a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." Malachi 3:16.
3. Yes. The BoR was for people under the OC (former sea) and the BoL is for people under the NC (hinder sea).
KJV Zechariah 14[8] And it shall be in that day*, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem**; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
* Pentecost, the beginning of the Age of God's Grace to all people (during the NC age of the "hinder sea").
** God's Gift of the Holy Spirit (white robes) given on Pentecost, to those written in the BoR, that lived during the OC age of the "former sea". Revelation 6:9-11.
4. I agree. No one who was written in the BoR under the OC., had yet received "The Promise". Though they were dead, they were still waiting for that Gift of God's Holy Spirit, and did receive it "in that day" [of Pentecost].
5. When one carefully reads Mal. 3:16, it is quite evident that none did try to work their way into the BoR or the BoL.
6a. I disagree.
6b. I disagree.
7. I disagree.
8. All are being judged now, by John 3:18, as they live and die, in belief or disbelief in Jesus. Your quote is to be understood figuratively. All other books are dysfunctional, except the BoL.
9. I disagree. The BoR was completed in the Day of Pentecost. Those of the former sea, that God remembered, were given "the Promise" they had waited for, and were translated into the BoL (who is Jesus), as shown in Revelation 6:9-11.

 

[Earburner]

The prophetic depth of Zechariah ch.14 is beyond the understanding of our natural mind. Of course, we must read it with our minds, but His interpretation of it, will not come to us except by His Spirit. Zechariah 4:6.
One of the problems for the OT prophets (us also) is, they had no idea as to which of the three comings of Lord they were prophesying about.
1. In the flesh.
2. In the Spirit.
3. In immortality.
As Jesus did say, all of it has been kept secret until His first coming in the flesh. Luke 10:23-24, Matthew 13:35.

We, who are born again of His Holy Spirit, must seek the Lord's mind within us for His meaning of His words, for we are told plainly that His thoughts are not like our thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9.
As a result, we are to "worship him in Spirit and in truth", by seeking Him only for understanding, and not by the wisdom of men. John 16:13, John 4:23-24, 1 Corinthians 2:5.

 

[Davy]

The prophetic depth of Zechariah ch.14 is beyond the understanding of our natural mind.

Peter says your above idea is FALSE...

2 Peter 1:19-21
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
KJV

And the basis of YOUR FALSEHOOD is that NO believer is given The Holy Spirit to understand God's Word.

 

[Earburner]

Peter says your above idea is FALSE...

2 Peter 1:19-21
19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
KJV

And the basis of YOUR FALSEHOOD is that NO believer is given The Holy Spirit to understand God's Word.

Then you don't understand what 1 Corinthians 2:14 means
[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

BTW, 2 Peter 1:20 is over played by church-ianity for the purpose of drawing a false conclusion, for their own defense. Yet, every single denomination of them, do the dirty deed without guilt, and then they cry foul upon anyone and everyone, who doesn't fit into any of their false narratives.
Give it a break.

However, one CAN have alot of vain "head knowledge" of man's wisdom, through their scholarly learning, from all their denominationally flavored Bible colleges.
1 Corinthians 2:5 is a good directive for one to reconsider the origin of "all truth" in John 3:18, John 16:13.
of which 2 Peter 1:19 backs up and totally supports what I have just said.

There are many born again Christians out there, STILL following "pharisaical church-ianity", feeding off of their regurgitated slop, never once actually sitting in the mind of Christ, like Mary at His feet, who was not burdened at all by all the work that Martha burdened herself with.

[14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The foolishness problem is yours, because one must first understand the basic English language before they can begin to comprehend God's written Word with the help of The Holy Spirit. You haven't gotten past that first requirement of the English language yet. So The Holy Spirit cannot help your understanding yet.

And by the way, the early colleges in the American colonies were all STARTED BY THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH! So God very much approves of education, like language skills, which you obviously lack.

So who is given to understand Christ's parable of the tares of the field in Matthew 13? You think you do? I can about guarantee that you don't, just by your haughtiness.

Who are the "tares" in that parable, and give me some Old Testament Scripture as proof? And remember, you are the one who started this challenge by making false claims against what I am able to receive from God by The Holy Spirit.

All you are doing is pushing 'hot air', showing you don't understand the actual difference from preachers that God did NOT call which have to make things up (like you do), because God has NOT shown them in His Word. So show me the tares!

 

[Earburner]

Who are the "tares" in that parable, and give me some Old Testament Scripture as proof? And remember, you are the one who started this challenge by making false claims against what I am able to receive from God by The Holy Spirit.

"Tares" are those who profess to be a Christian, but were never born again by the Holy Spirit. They went through the "religious" outward show of the waters of baptism, but they never invited Jesus into their life. John 3:3-8, Luke 11:13, Revelation 3:20.

Oh yes, they are believers, and they are followers of Jesus, the historical Jesus, but only as to mimick him. All of such are "none of His", even though they become Theologians, Bishops, Elders and Pastors, or hold numerous positions in the laity. Romans 8:8-9.
Matthew 7:21-23

 

[Earburner]

God, who Is both truth and love, does not promote or participate in our knowledge of good and evil, though He Himself knows of both.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

I've noticed some brethren, especially among those who heed man's pre-tribulational rapture theory, misapply the timings of the "day of the Lord" phrase in God's Word, both from The Old Testament prophets and The New Testament.

The "day of the Lord" phrase is about a time of God's Judgment. It was used by God in His Old Testament prophets a lot. But it is also used by Apostles Paul and Peter specifically about the LAST DAY of this world.

I see the Day of the Lord as a period of time (that is still yet future), and not specifically one individual day alone in the future.

How so? Well, here is a…

Description of the Day of the Lord:

• Zephaniah 1:14-15

The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

• Zechariah 14:1 NLT

Watch, for the day of the LORD is coming when your possessions will be plundered right in front of you!

This sounds like the above pieces of Scripture sounds like a time frame or period of time and not just one day alone.


When Does the Day of the Lord or the Day of Wrath Begin?

We know that the Day of the Lord = the Day of Wrath.

• Zephaniah 1:14-15

"The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,"​

The Day of the Lord does not come at the sixth seal because we know that Joel talks about the sun, the blood moon are signs that come BEFORE the Day of the Lord.

• Joel 2:31

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."
​

Why is this important? Because the sixth seal is marked by the sun going dark, and the moon turning to blood.

• Revelation 6:12

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;"​

Yet, the Day of the Lord is marked with signs BEFORE of the sun going dark, and the moon turning to blood.

• Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.​

See that? The Signs leading up to the Day of the Lord lines up with the 6th seal.

Conclusion:

This means that those who cry out at the sixth seal that the "Great Day of His Wrath has come" are merely talking about it in a future sense (and how it is now about to arrive). So the Wrath begins at the breaking of the 1st Trumpet (that comes out of the 7th seal), when God pours out the major judgments that effect the world in a huge way. There are trumpet judgments and bowl judgments. I don’t think they happen all in one day with the Lord returning. They sound like they happen over a period of time. Do all the other seals previously happen in a day?

The 4th seal is death (The Antichrist killing Christians and many others with the enforcement of the mark).
The 5th seal is the saints crying out for vengeance to God in Heaven for having just been martyred by the Antichrist.
The 6th seal is God’s answer to the saints with Him giving the signs that happen right before the Day of the Lord or the Day of His wrath is about to happen.
The 7th seal breaks open and releases the trumpet Judgments which starts the Day of the Lord or the Great Day of God’s Wrath upon the Antichrist for murdering the saints, and to bring things to an end for this evil world.
