Jesus Christ disagrees with you.

Mar 9:11 - And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Mar 9:12 - And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Mar 9:13 - But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.​

CHECK to all of them. You do realize that there were several "days of the Lord" don't you?
Some fulfilled when Babylon attacked Edom , some by Babylon towards Jerusalem in 586BC- some against Israel (the 10 northern tribes) by Assyria, some by the Medes against Babylon, & last but not least the judgment against Judah & Jerusalem & Christ's parousia in AD70.

No,there are not several days of the Lord....There is only one and that Day starts the second Christ feet touches the Mount of Olive's

In God's time, only 6 days have passed from the Garden till now,Christ will return on the 7th.....That was not AD70.....

So much confusion. So little time.

The "Day of the Lord" is poetic language for God's judgment. Check those passages again: every one of them has to do with God coming in judgment against a people or nation. Christ was using the SAME LANGUAGE in Matthew 23 and 24.

 

[Vic C.]

Which one? The one Malachi prophesied?

That's just it. The Bible speaks of more than one. As it was said, it is metaphoric for God's Judgment.

But I do believe there will be one final DOTL, bigger and more terrifying than all the others.

I beg to differ,there is only one Day of the Lord,that day starts the millenium...Every verse I posted refers to that day.....And that day has yet to come....

 

[warfrog]

I beg to differ,there is only one Day of the Lord,that day starts the millenium...Every verse I posted refers to that day.....And that day has yet to come....

I kindly disagree with your statement, there is not 1 coming day of the Lord as of now, there is 2.

1.Is the return of Christ as a theif in the night, when the righteous are judged and resurrected, the "beast and false prophet are cast into the lake of fire and the unrighteous killed with the sword of His mouth", the 1000 years begin.

2.Is the coming of God the Father as a theif in the night when heaven and earth are destroyed where the former things have passed away, Satan is "cast into the lake of fire where the beast and false prophet are." when the judgement and perdition of ungodly men occur and death is destroyed. When God te Father says "all enemies are put under Him"

I also veiw the ministry of Christ as a sort of day of the Lord in which death was defeated, not destroyed, but victory claimed through Christ, when God the Father "has put all things under His feet"

If the first two qoutes leave any confusion Rev 19:11-21 and Rev 20:7-15
The last two qoutes 1 Corinthians 15:20-28

2 Peter 3 is not the coming of Christ, 3:7 which is spoken just prior to 3:10-13 should confirm that for you coupled with the prophecy given in Rev 20:7-15 finished with 21's new heaven and earth and showing the Fathers dwelling among men also concluded with 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 which confirms the resurrections and the passing of the torch to God the Father from the Son of Man, which is spoken as "and then comes the end"

Please forgive the length of the following material, but this is going to be my last post here for a while, as I find that I am losing patience with some of the nonsense I read here that passes for "Bible study", and am going to take a hiatus to cool down.

The following refutes light's assertion that there is only "one 'day of the Lord'" point-by-point.

I beg to differ,there is only one Day of the Lord,that day starts the millenium...Every verse I posted refers to that day.....And that day has yet to come....

Really? Because you pulled EVERY SINGLE VERSE YOU CITED IN THE OP OUT OF CONTEXT, it's easy to see how you would arrive at this conclusion.

However, when you look at THE CONTEXT of these verses, IT'S CLEAR THAT MOST ARE REFERRING TO DIFFERENT "DAYS OF THE LORD" OR TIMES OF GOD'S WRATH AGAINST A PEOPLE OR NATION!!!

Let's look at them, shall we???

Isaiah 2:12 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom this was written!

{1} The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:1 (NASB)

That's one!

Isaiah 13:6 (Whole Chapter)

Here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom it was written!

{1} The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. Isaiah 13:1 (NASB)

Not only is this a completely different nation than your first one, but a completely different time!

That's two!

Jeremiah 46:10 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom it was written!

{2} To Egypt, concerning the army of Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt, which was by the Euphrates River at Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: Jeremiah 46:2 (NASB)

Not only is this a different nation than the other two, but a completely different time!

That's three!

Ezekiel 13:5 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom it was written!

{2} "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy from their own inspiration, 'Listen to the word of the LORD! Ezekiel 13:2 (NASB)

This is a prophecy against Israel, the Northern Kingdom, and the false prophets that were in it prior to it's capture by the Assyrians!

That's four!

Ezekiel 30:3 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped which identifies to whom this was written!

{4} "A sword will come upon Egypt, And anguish will be in Ethiopia; When the slain fall in Egypt, They take away her wealth, And her foundations are torn down. {5} "Ethiopia, Put, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword." Ezekiel 30:4-5 (NASB)

That's five different "days of the Lord" so far!!!

Joel 1:15 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom this was written!

{2} Hear this, O elders, And listen, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers' days? Joel 1:2 (NASB)

There's that phrase again: "all inhabitants of 'the land." This can only refer to the land of Judah, Joel's place of birth!

The book doesn't mention when he lived, so these prophecies could relate to Jerusalem's first desolation by Babylon or its second, by Rome. In the latter case, this may be at least the sixth different "day of the Lord!"

Amos 5:18 (Whole Chapter)

Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom this was written!

{1} Hear this word which I take up for you as a dirge, O house of Israel: {2} She has fallen, she will not rise again— The virgin Israel. She lies neglected on her land; There is none to raise her up. Amos 5:1-2 (NASB)

Fulfilled with the destruction of Israel at the hands of the Assyrians, as is the case with Isaiah 2:12!

Still sitting on at least five different "days of the Lord" now!!!

Obadiah 1:15 (Whole Chapter)

Here's the verse you skipped which identifies to whom this was written!

{1} The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom— We have heard a report from the LORD, And an envoy has been sent among the nations saying, "Arise and let us go against her for battle"— Obadiah 1:1 (NASB)

Edom makes a possible seven different "days of the Lord!"

Zephaniah 1:7 (Whole Chapter)

Here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom this was written!

{4} "So I will stretch out My hand against Judah And against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, And the names of the idolatrous priests along with the priests. Zephaniah 1:4 (NASB)

Still sitting on at least five, possibly as many as seven, as this was fulfilled with the capture and destruction of Judah at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 BC!

Zechariah 14:1 (Whole Chapter)

Prophesied against "the nations" that come against Jerusalem for war (verse 2).

All of this completely fulfilled in the events after the fall of Alexander the Great that led to the division of his empire into four different kingdoms, whose later kings (Ptolemies and Seleucids) fought against and over Judea and Jerusalem only to be defeated by the Macabbees, which led to the rise of Judea's Hasmonean Dynasty!!!

That's eight possible different "days of the lord" concerning different times and nations over which God passed judgment!

That's it. I'm out. Peace all.

Revelation 19,is the Day of the Lord

Point two is after that day

Revelation 20:7
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison

With all due respect,I think you are confussing that Day with the events that take place after that day

 

[n2thelight]

Let's look at them, shall we???



Isaiah 2:12 (Whole Chapter)




Now here's the verse you skipped that identifies to whom this was written!

{1} The word which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:1 (NASB)

That's one!

Isaiah 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem."

Isaiah 2:2"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it."

This is prophetic, and pertains to the Savior because He is there. We can read in Revelation 21 as to how this will come to pass. On that final day of this earth age, Jesus Christ shall come to earth to establish His Millennium kingdom, and the kings and queens of the Gentile nations shall come to Jerusalem to worship.
Revelation 21:21 "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."
Revelation 21:22 "And I saw no Temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple of it."
Revelation 21:23 "And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."
Revelation 21:24 "And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it."

"Mountains" is a word meaning "nations". However, the "mount of God" is "mount Moriah"; "Moriah" in the Hebrew tongue means "chosen by God". God chose the place. That is the place of the Temple mount to this day.

Gota do some work,will handle the rest later...But you gota come beter than this.....

Not at all, you submitted 2 Peter 3 as Chist's return, i showed why scripture disagrees.
You dont have to agree with it, just wanted to present it incase you actually veiwed why it disagrees.

 

[Sinthesis]

That's just it. The Bible speaks of more than one. As it was said, it is metaphoric for God's Judgment.

But I do believe there will be one final DOTL, bigger and more terrifying than all the others.

Given your signature, why would you be terrified?

 

[Vic C.]

Given your signature, why would you be terrified?

1 Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

Just as I'm not in the darkness and will not be overtaken, I am not nor will I be terrified. :nod

 

[Lehigh3]

'Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you.' (Revelation 3:3 NASB)

Yet tradition doesn't recognize the signs of the times as it was in the 1st century bc they apply the prophecies to thousands of years in the future!

A Future Coming of Christ? - Mark 13:32-37

The scripture provided is within the article, which agrees with my statement.

Did you read the entire article? If you do, then it all makes perfect sense.

No I didnt, didnt even know it was an article lol, Elijah posted blue words recently in a thread we were discussing and i clicked on them and they did nothing, I didnt even realize yours was an article heh.
