The Day of the Lord is A DAY that Gods Wrath of 3.5 Years starts. The First Seal starts the Lambs Wrath the Last Vial ends the Fathers Wrath, all are of Course Gods Wrath. We can see both in the first four verses of Zechariah 14.It is a term used to describe the end of history (Isaiah 7:18-25) and is often closely associated with the phrase “that day.” One key to understanding these phrases is to note that they always identify a span of time during which God personally intervenes in history, directly or indirectly, to accomplish some specific aspect His plan.
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Verses 1 and 2 is clearly the First Seal being broken, the Ant-Christ/Beast comes forth and Conquers Jerusalem, ravishes the city and takes many captive. BUT Many Jewish peoples Flee to the Wilderness, where God protects them.
Verses 3 and 4 is of course Vials number 6 and 7. The Nations gather at Armageddon and then Jesus lands on the Mt. of Olives and causes an Earthquake, then he defeats all of the Anti-Christs evil minions. Just what Rev. 16 says.
The Day of the Lord and the Day of Christ, are not the same. [A KJV miss-translation in 2 Thess.2:2.]
I disagree here. The Day of the Christ is the Day of the Lord, Christ is the Lord. What was it that the Thessalonians feared? That they were not going to be Gathered unto Jesus Christ, but rather they were going to go through Gods Wrath. Paul says, DON'T FEAR, if you have heard this from anyone, or if someone sent you a letter and told you I said this, its not true....For THAT DAY can not come unless the Church DEPARTS (Not Falls Away from the Faith) first, and then that MAN OF SIN (Anti-Christ) shows up. MEANING......The Day of the Lord happens at the 3.5 year Mark, half way into the Covenant (Agreement) the European Anti-Christ makes with MANY. So Paul is telling these Thessalonians, how can you possibly go through the Day of Christ (Lord) when that DAY can not come until the Rapture happens and the Anti-Christ comes forth to Conquer, the First Seal brings the Day of the Lord in other words, and the Anti-Christ must be on the scene for 3.5 Years before he breaks his Peace/Security Deal.
Besides being a time of judgment, it will also be a time of salvation as God will deliver the remnant of Israel, fulfilling His promise that “all of Israel will be saved”
This is spot on except for one minor point. I think the Remnant mentioned in Rev. 12:17 are the Church, that might not have been your point anyway, because only a 1/3 of the Jews will be saved. Per Zechariah we know 2/3 will not make it. BUT...All Israel will be saved, but not all Jews, that point is lost on so many people, Paul via Isaiah, is talking about Israel as a nation, turning back unto God, thus the 70th Week Decree is fulfilled in that Israel atones and turns from their Rebellion. They (1/3) will be ALL ISRAEL, the rest will perish. In Malachi 4:5-6 we are told Elijah is sent to turn Israel back to God before the Great and Terrible Day of the LORD. Thus the Two-Witnesses show up just before the Anti-Christ conquers Jerusalem, that's when he becomes the Beast for 42 Months. Further proof that you have to Conquer Israel in order to be a BEAST.
The events that take place during the Day of the Lord, consist of seven seal judgments, seven trumpet judgments and seven bowl judgments, found in chapters 6 through 19 in Revelation, which the Scriptures reveal will take place over a three and a half year time period. Not for just one day, which would clearly be an impossibility.
Pretty spot on also, but the Seventh Vial ends in Rev. 16:19-21, Rev. 17 happens during Rev. 6, Rev. 18 happens from Rev. chapters 6 through Rev. 16 and Rev. 19 is the full Seven Year Event. The church marries the Lamb then we come back and Armageddon happens. Rev. 19 is just the full picture of what the Church/Bride goes through for all Seven Years. Rev. 14, 16 and 18 is the exact same event. Rev. 14 is the Harvest/Winepress of Gods Wrath, Jesus lands on Mt. Zion and Babylon Falls. Rev. 16 is the Battle of Armageddon, the same as the Winepress of Gods Wrath. Rev. 18 is Babylon/World, the Statue of Governments being hit with the Plagues of God. The Seals, Trumpets and the Seven Vials. It ends of course with the Seventh Vial also. Babylon Falls in ALL THREE CHAPTERS. In 14 it says Babylon has Fallen, has Fallen. In Rev. 16:19 it says the Nations that FALL are seen as Babylon by God and he gives them his wrath. In Rev. 18 it again says Babylon is Fallen. ALL THREE ARE THE SAME EVENT !!
IMHO, As per The Lords Day..... is only referencing the day Jesus rose from the Dead. Every day is Holy to the Gentile Christian. Every day is Holy unto the Jewish Christian, but as Paul stated, if a man eat meat, judge him not, if a man keeps a certain day, judge him not. If people want to keep the Sabbath unto God, that's their business, I think Jewish people probably should, but I do not think it is needed with the Holy Spirit living in us, all days are to be Holy unto us.
Overall I would giver your write-up an A-
Spot on on everything except the Day of Christ, and that whole passage is misinterpreted to start with, so that's not a big deal. Good Job.
