DRS81 - When Satan is thrown into the lake of fire is when the earth will finally be cleansed and the New Earth and New Heaven will come down, where we will dwell forever with Christ.
Eugene – This is a new day, not a last day.
DRS81 - Keep in mind though, that there will still be people alive during his wrath! During the sixth trumpet in
Rev 9:15, a third of mankind will die. The sixth bowl will also set the stage for the Antichrist and Armageddon.
Eugene – According to you this all comes down seven years prior to the last day.
DRS81 - After Satan is locked down in the Abyss, Jesus will then begin the 1000 year reign with Christ!! Praise Him! And we will be a part of that reign, we will be priests of God!! How glorious.
Rev 20:6.
Eugene – How can the church be a part of something that is past the last day, and extends into eternity? You wrote that Jesus will reign with Christ, but I think that was just an error; should it be that we’ll reign with Christ for 1000 years? But then we run into that last day again. May I ask what the last day means to you?
Something I’m detecting in your outline sounds a might familiar or similar to Dispensations with their last days of certain ages; e.g., the Church age, the Kingdom age, etc. Thanks.
It wont be counted as day, after the resurrection, as we know and understand a day now, in the realm of time and space.
4 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. 5 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.
6 It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light; The lights will diminish. 7
It shall be one day Which is known to the Lord-- Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light.
Zechariah 14:4-6
and again -
29
"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. 30 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.
Matthew 24:29-30
A day is regulated by the earth revolving around the sun.
In the Day, He Himself will be our light, and time will be His.
As Paul writes -
12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily,
while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said:
"Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts." 8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9
There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.
This rest will occur during the 1000 years, which is prophetically called the
Seventh Day.
The Day of rest.
Paul alludes to the fact that, during the 1000 years it will not be called Today!
He will come for us on the LAST DAY and raise us up!
