The Day of the Lord

[SabbathBlessings]

This is a powerful sermon by Ivor Meyer regarding the Day of the Lord and why the destruction fell upon Jerusalem, first by Babylon, second by Rome, which is an allegory for the final Day of the Lord, the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. I pray more people wake up and obey what God commanded, so we can enter His rest and not follow the example of disobedience from those before us Heb 4:11

Isa 48:18 Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

Grok AI: Key Points from "The Day of the Lord: This Bible Message Changes Everything!"

1. Three Distinct Days of the Lord in the Bible:
   • First Day of the Lord: Refers to the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon, as warned by pre-exilic prophets (e.g., Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zephaniah) due to Israel’s rejection of God and failure to repent (Isaiah 13:6, Lamentations 2:21-22, Ezekiel 7:19, Zephaniah 1:7-8, 1:14-15).
   • Second Day of the Lord: Refers to the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in 70 AD, as foretold by post-exilic prophets (e.g., Joel, Malachi, Zechariah) and linked to Israel’s rejection of the Messiah (Joel 1:15, 2:1-2, 2:31, Malachi 4:1, 4:5, Zechariah 14:1, Acts 2:14-21).
   • Third Day of the Lord: Refers to the second coming of Jesus Christ, a future global event involving the destruction of the heavens and earth (1 Thessalonians 5:2-3, 2 Thessalonians 2:2, 2 Peter 3:10-13).
2. Reasons for the Days of the Lord:
   • First Day: Caused by Israel’s rejection of the Sabbath, leading to Babylonian captivity (Leviticus 26:33-34, 2 Chronicles 36:20-21, Jeremiah 17:27, Ezekiel 20:12-20, Isaiah 58:1-2).
   • Second Day: Triggered by Israel’s creation of a counterfeit Sabbath with rigid, unbiblical rules, culminating in the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, for healing on the Sabbath (Mark 3:1-6, John 5:1-16, John 9:1-16).
   • Third Day: Suggested to result from a combination of forgetting God’s true Sabbath and enforcing a counterfeit Sabbath, potentially with deadly force, as prophesied in end-time scenarios (Revelation 14:12, 12:17, 14:6-7, Daniel 7:25).
3. Sabbath as a Central Theme:
   • The Sabbath is a sign of God’s rest and covenant with His people, established at creation (Genesis 2:1-3) and reiterated to Israel (Exodus 20:8-11, Deuteronomy 5:12-15).
   • Israel’s failure to honor the Sabbath led to the first Day of the Lord (Babylonian destruction).
   • Misinterpreting and enforcing a counterfeit Sabbath led to the second Day of the Lord (Roman destruction).
   • The third Day of the Lord is linked to rejecting God’s true Sabbath and accepting a counterfeit, enforced by a power identified as “Mystery Babylon” (Revelation 17:5, Daniel 7:25).
4. Rest vs. Wrath:
   • The Sabbath represents God’s rest, while rejecting it leads to God’s wrath (Hebrews 3:7-9, Revelation 6:17).
   • Israel faced wrath in the first two Days of the Lord because they rejected God’s rest by either neglecting or perverting the Sabbath.
   • At the end of time, accepting God’s rest (keeping His commandments, including the Sabbath) ensures entry into the New Jerusalem, while rejecting it leads to exclusion (Revelation 22:14-15, 21:27).
5. End-Time Implications:
   • A remnant will keep God’s commandments and the faith of Jesus, facing persecution from a power seeking to enforce a counterfeit Sabbath (Revelation 12:17, 14:12).
   • The everlasting gospel in Revelation 14:6-7 emphasizes worshiping the Creator, echoing the fourth commandment, as a call to avoid the mistakes of the past.
   • Historical quotes (e.g., Priest Brady, 1903; Our Sunday Visitor, 1950) highlight the Roman Catholic Church’s role in establishing Sunday as a day of worship, seen as a counterfeit Sabbath.
6. Call to Action:
   • Believers are urged to keep God’s commandments, particularly the Sabbath, to enter His rest and avoid His wrath.
   • The message warns against repeating Israel’s mistakes of forgetting or counterfeiting the Sabbath, emphasizing obedience to God’s word to prepare for the third Day of the Lord.
7. Biblical Patterns and Warnings:
   • The Sabbath’s significance is reinforced across scriptures (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Ezekiel, Isaiah, Nehemiah).
   • Nehemiah’s rebuke (Nehemiah 13:17-18) and Jesus’ healings on the Sabbath highlight the importance of correctly observing God’s commandments.
   • Revelation’s imagery of merchants outside Jerusalem (Revelation 18, Nehemiah 13) symbolizes those who prioritize worldly gain over God’s commandments, missing entry into the eternal city.

2 Pet 3 combines the "coming of the Lord" and the "earth melting with fervent heat" as a single "day of the Lord". It points out that this is an example one day is as 1000 years. Since the coming of the Lord in Rev 19 is 1000 years from the Earth melting with fervent heat in Rev 20.
