Quite happy to ignore all what is written to happen before the Return?
As for what the Jews will do, Isaiah 29:4 describes how the survivors voices will 'squeak out of the ground'. They will shelter in u/g bunkers. The 'flee to the mountains' prophecy was fulfilled in 70 AD.
Did you actually read the 2 scriptures about the OWG? They both mention the 10 regions of the OWG, that will all confer their authority onto one powerful and charismatic man. It is that man who will sit in the Temple, thereby causing the AoD.
BaB, we are getting pedantic now. My contention is there are two separate Days of the Lord to come. First the Day of wrath as described in the Sixth Seal and many other prophesies. Then the Return, after all that is prophesied, as per Revelation, Ezekiel 36 to 48, Isaiah 62, Amos 9:13-15, etc, has happened.
Why don't you like the scenario I posted in #81? Lets see your effort at a it, supported by scripture, as I do.
I do not want or intend to hurt your feelings, however you are attempting to use naturalistic phenomena to explain what I believe will be supernatural events.
Based solely on the text with no agenda or preconceived doctrine, the Day of the Lord is one literal earth shattering event where Christ returns in Flaming Fire and destroys everyone and everything except those of faith. The New Heavens and the New Earth are put in place at this time.
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessedishe that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
2Th 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2Th 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Th 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2Th 1:10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Co 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Co 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
It is not about the modern nation of Israel, which is Israel of the Flesh.
It is about Israel of the Promise, which are those who have faith in Christ of both Jews and Gentiles.
The spiritual state of Jerusalem is summed up near the time of the 7th trumpet, as being spiritually like Sodom.
Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
