In Zechariah 14:5 it refers to the holy ones with YHWH. Acts 13:35 and Psalm 16:10 refer to Jesus as YHWH's holy one. It couldn't be anymore crystal clear than this. Thank you for showing me that. If I had any doubts about this before, now it's firmly cemented that YHWH and Jesus are not the same person.
Jesus is YHWH's holy one.
Psalm 16
10For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
nor will You let
Your Holy One see decay.
Zechariah 14 describes the Day of the LORD, which is the Day of Christ, when Jesus comes from heaven with His people, His saints.
- even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. This is the dead in Christ; His saints
- For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself, (Not God the Father) will descend from heaven on the Day of the Lord.
But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16
Matthew 24 is Jesus describing these events.
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matthew 24: 29-31
- And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
This is the Day of the Lord; The second coming of Christ, which is called
the coming of the Lord.
Behold, the day of the LORD is coming,
And your spoil will be divided in your midst.
For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses rifled,
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then the LORD will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,
From east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward the north
And half of it toward the south.
Then you shall flee through My mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Thus the LORD my God will come,
And all the saints with You. Zechariah 14:1-5
- Thus the LORD my God will come, and all the saints with You.
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “
Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.” Jude 1:14-15
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us,
as though the day of Christ had come. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-2
The Day of the Lord is the Day of Christ.
Again, my question:
Who is coming on the Day of the LORD with His saints?
The Father or the Son?
Hint: It's the King of kings and Lord of lords: His name is called the Word of God.
- And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations.
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:11-16
