I know nobody knows the day or hour the Lord will come back but I know it will be very soon. Anyway, do you think this is possible, that the Lord will come back on a Sunday since Sunday is known as the Lord's day?..I mean the Bible in Genesis talks about how the Lord made the earth in 7 days but rested on the 7th day which is Sunday I believe. It seems the Lord works on weekdays like a typical human being. But take his day off on Sunday. I also remember a Bible verse from our Lord. He said something about making sure our flight isn't in the winter and on a weekend I think wouldn't it make sense since the Lord would be working all that week and wouldn't it make sense for him to choose sunday that following week since he would have that whole day off? lol call me weird but is it possible the Lord will be coming back on a Sunday on some winter's day? It also says people will be giving into marriages and partying etc...dont people usually do those things on a weekend too? Ha.
On the cross Jesus exclaimed "It is finished" and although this has far greater meanings I think it also connects back to the 6th day of creation when creation was finished as Jesus would have died on the 6th day, Friday. Jesus lay in the grave and "rested" over the Sabbath, the 7th day or modern day Saturday, thereby being the first ever to completely fulfill the Sabbath and he rose again on the first day, Sunday, the first day of creation, a new day. This is the day God first spoke light into darkness and a void that was earth and now Jesus is the new light and Sunday becomes the new first day of creation. The days of the week echo this since creation a start, an end, a rest and then a start again through resurrection.
You just have to figure out what is the focus of the return of Christ to fit it with which day he will return if he is to follow a similar pattern. Is it a new beginning (Sunday) Is it an ending or passing away (Friday) is it a rest (Saturday). A closer study may reveal aspects of each day that have their uniquenesses, for example, if day 1 is a salvation metaphor can day 2 be a baptism metaphor? What is day 3?
The creation account is really packed in and its order and phrasing are far more important that we give it credit and goes well beyond some literal wooden interpretation. For example, the first 3 days are vessels and the last 3 days are a filling up of these vessels and days 1 & 4, days 2 & 5 and days 3 & 6 are connected. Let's take day 1 the light is spoken into being, yet on day 4 the sun and moon and all the celestial objects are created. Could day 1 be a great expanse of the universe as a vessel and day 4 be the filling up of the vessel?
With the creation account worry less about the literal unfolding of days, they are arbitrary to the greater points being made in the account and the death of Christ shows a pattern being echoed through this, an end, a rest, a new beginning. The return of Christ will probably echo this same cylindrical pattern that seems to be present in all systems of life.
