The Day Of The Lord

for_his_glory said:
Vs. 8-10 Peter gives the manifestation of the day of the Lord and if you take notice of the "is" and "as" in vs. 8 they are a figure of speech or a simile as being like a thousand years, but yet God's timing, not our timing. It's also like "a twinkling of an eye" in 1 Corinthians 15:2 as you can not define a twinkling in measurement of time. Man's literal counting of days is not always how God numbers days in hours, minutes or seconds. This is why I do not consider 1000 years as being literal in 2 Peter 3:8 or Rev 20, but symbolic as in Deuteronomy 7:9; 1Chronicles 16:15; Psalms 50:10; 90:4; 105:8 Ecc 6:6; 7:28; Daniel 5:1; 2Peter 3:8.

Interesting point and post yours. I would like to comment more somethings for our meditation and of all readers.

Acts 1:6-7
6 The disciples asked of JESUS, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And JESUS said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power. That is, His Word. The Word is GOD, self-executing.

Knowing that GOD is from everlasting to everlasting and is Omnipresent, so the things GOD made from six thousand of years ago, or ten thousand, or billions of years ago, for GOD they are of today, for our GOD and Father there is not time or inexists time, He is Omnipresent, time signifies nothing to GOD.

Paul Apostle in his vision and interpretation of the last days, our days, or the current days, i.e. the last week, week 70th Daniel 9:24-27 combined with Revelation 11:15-18, he meant that the very short period of a week of years is like a twinkling of an eye for the Omnipresent GOD. The Omnipresence of our GOD from everlasting(past Eternity) to everlasting(future Eternity) is unfathomable.

GOD BLESS

All things are in God's timing and what truly matters is that we are prepared to be with Him when He sends His Son Christ Jesus back to take us to our eternal rest in Him.

Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Yes, I also and all must say "what matters is that we are prepared" to meet Him-Matthew 25:6-13 , and also He meeting us according as He combined with us-John 14:1-4. Take a look. We must preach more than never to the people to wake up and to arise fast, remembering that among several things it is necessary to have lamp(indeed the Word is a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path-Psalm 119:105) and oil, because without oil even if they have lamp, they will perish, it's impressive.

What and were is the source of oil? It was revealed to the prophet Zechariah, one of the twenty four elders: Ze. 4:1-6 and 11-14KJV, as follow:

1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.

2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a CANDLESTICK all of gold(Candlestick is Church), with a bowl upon the top of it(upon the top of the Church), and his seven lamps thereon(seven spirits of GOD), and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3 And two olive trees by it(by the Church), one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. (JESUS and the Paraclete-the Comfort-John 15:26 and 16:12-15, and also two Covenants - the Old and New Testaments).

4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?

5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel(the Word is GOD, GOD is Spirit), saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick(Church) and upon the left side thereof?

12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches(SOURCE OF THE OIL) which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Hallelujaaaah!!!
