What is the Day of the LORD? It is the most highly anticipatedDay of the New Testament, the most fearful reference point essential to pastoral rhetoric, and the most dreadful situation forthcoming upon mankind ( "Christ-Centered Preaching"). Yet, it's an unspoken issue among modern-day prognosticators it's an unworthy incident among the mob's most famous news reporters and, its an unseen situation among the sleepy watchmen of our time
What is the Day of the LORD? It's not what you think It comes as a t hief in the night upon unsuspecting sleepers Suddenly - at the break-in - "Christians" will suffer a surprising robbery of their undying souls from each one's refuge of false security It is a divinely authored trap ordained to ensnare all men that dwell on the face of the earth In other words, it's a Day of fanning & sifting a Day of purging, purifying, & destroying it just depends on who you are and how you respond.
THE DAY OF THE LORD
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon:
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War:
What is the Day of the LORD? It's a Day so catastrophic that"Christians"will howl amidst the destruction and"every man's heart shall melt" Catastrophe will befall the covetous as the cross-less professors of"Christianity"will be heard crying out,"WHO CAN ABIDE IT?" Why? For the love of their lives they will lament in these outcries of bitter agony They will commiserate among themselves in utter amazement with their faces as flames "Alasfor the Day!" the prophet Joel exclaimed!...for, this is none other than"THE GREAT AND THE TERRIBLE DAY OF THE LORD" Therefore shall the mighty men of"Carnal Christianity"cry bitterly and be"mad"for the sight of their eyes
Then, after a short space the Cup of Drunkenness will be passed from the Church to Babylon's World First, Heaven will besiege Earth Then, Babylon's World will gather for war against the Lamb of God At last, in the climactic outbreak of war: the Shaking (the 7th Vial [])! "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: forthe powers of heaven shall be shaken" For all that the Day brings (Winepress & Worldwide Battle), and before all is said and done, "The lofty looks of man shall behumbled, and the haughtiness of men shall bebowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in thatDay" This is what Malachi called,"THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD"
THE TRUMPETS
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon: -9:21 [Assyria: Sinai: ]
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War:
What is the Day of the LORD? It's a"DAY OF THE TRUMPET" It's an"ALARM OF WAR" It's an urgent message from divinely appointed Watchmen ( Rev. 10-11). It's an alarm to the inhabitants of the earth so important and absolutely unprecedented, divinely appointed holy angels will publish the forewarning by the blast of celestial trumpets from the lofty abode of Heaven ("And the seven angels which had the seventrumpetsprepared themselves to sound."- )! This is a cause for fear & trembling, even as it was written,"...let all the inhabitants of the Land tremble: for the Day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand"
Those beholden to divine justice will get the loudly declared message By reason of it men shall flee Jerusalem At the hearing of it men shall discern a coming destruction For the duration of it men shall tremble with awe and wonder at what's ahead not unlike the Church in the Wildernesstrembled before the fiery Mount If deluded mankind will not hearken to the voice of the firsttrumpet, then what's left of them will be alarmed at the blast of "the lasttrump" It's high time for Christianity to reckon with the loud announcement of these alarming TRUMPETS-Trumpet #1,Trumpet #2,Trumpet #3,Trumpet #4,Trumpet #5,Trumpet #6,Trumpet #7! That's the truth.
THE DAY OF DARKNESS
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon:
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War:
What is the Day of the LORD? It is a"DAY OF DARKNESS" It is when the earth and heavens tremble and turn darkbefore, amidst, and about the celestial and terrestrialarmies of Babylon the Great For, the rise of Babylon by war and conquest will result in blood, fire, and pillars of smoke as a third of mankind dies in the onslaught In reflection upon these wonders, Zephaniah says, "ThatDayis... aDayof wasteness and desolation, aDAY OF DARKNESS and GLOOMINESS, aDAY OF CLOUDS and THICK DARKNESS" Even so, the loud shouts of angelic voices bear witness to the woefulness of this dreadful Day God, the Creator, would have men gaze upward and behold the astonishmentof the heavens - that men would depart from earthly passions and become horriblyafraid Look, and see: the whelming clouds of smoke! In horror, behold: the ghostly creatures proceeding from the thickdarkness! Wonder, and regard: a haunted earth with an open Hell!
Then, after a short space watch and see: the black skies open and light appear See wrath unfurled and watch Babylon fear Hear a warrior shout and the sword brought near This is the fiery consumption of heaven and earth in the utter destruction of Babylon - when, for darkness and light, day is indiscernible from night and night from day
THE DAY OF VENGEANCE
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon:
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War:
What is the Day of the LORD? It is a DAY OF VENGEANCE It is when the Antichrist pilots the vehicle of Babylon, the Beast for the space of forty two months making it a Day foretold to be like no other "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" Why? Because this one man will have the combined personality and power of the Little Horn the Prince the Vile Person & the KingofBabylon and therefore he is called the"Man of Sin"and"the Son of Perdition" In a demonic rampage he will accomplish “thetransgressionofdesolation” for “the overspreading of abominations” to “pollutetheSanctuary” and outlaw Biblical Christianity "For these be THE DAYS OF VENGEANCE, that all things which are written may be fulfilled"
What is the Day of the LORD? It is a Day when the Antichrist will"makewarwith thesaints"and"overcome"them For, it is a Day of howling like that of PalestinaMoabTyreEgypt and theAmmonites when Babylon advanced upon their coasts and they suffered a punishing defeat. Much more, it is a Day of howling like that of the backslidden Church when Babylon conquered Judah and robbed them of their children by scattering their families in a total of 6 Captivities until Jerusalem was without inhabitant and void of life. Much more, I say, because the Church is the one and only elect people divinely intended to be set-apart from all other peoples, therefore for them this is a Day of travail like no other since the world began
Then, after a little while, "the controversy of Zion" will come up before God in Heaven This, too, is "THE DAY OF THE LORD's VENGEANCE" This has always been in the heart of God Even so, a great proclamation will be made worldwide at the sudden turning of things while the stout gazes of Babylonians worldwide will be made to dread the sight of their eyes and the sounds of their ears! Why? Jesus said, "ForTHE DAY OF VENGEANCEis in mine heart, andTHE YEAR OF MY REDEEMEDis come." At last, and finally, this is "THE DAY OF VENGEANCE" upon Babylon for her sins against the Jews This is the End of the World.
THE DAY OF WRATH
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon:
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War:
What is the Day of the LORD? It is a "DAY OF WRATH" It is the fire of God's jealousy falling upon the backslidden Church It is an inescapable terror to the fearless freeloaders who promise themselves liberty This is "THE DAY OF THE LORD's ANGER" - a desperately serious situation a hardly survivable occasion a cause for corporate repentance among believers a reason to hide For this shall rich men cast away their most prized possessions hoping for divine appeasement to no avail
There's no other remedy but Babylon The divine plan is irreversible The fire of God's anger is unquenchable The whirlwind of the LORD will go forth and it shall not return Backslidden Christians everywhere will be made to reckon with the Sword of the LORD through Babylon. This is"THE INDIGNATION" This is"THE DAY OF INDIGNATION" God will comfort Himself in the exacting of divine justicethroughBabylon, but until then the anger of God will not abate or diminish ("...I shall executejudgmentsin thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes."- ).
Then, before the Day expires, and all is said and done, the demonstration of "indignation and wrath" will grow in its scope to include all the kindreds of the earth The judgments will crescendo into a greater glory of divine wrath "Behold, He cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him" This is what Paul called, "THE DAY OF WRATH" This is what Isaiah called, "THE DAY OF HIS FIERCE ANGER" It is the "revelationoftherighteous judgment of God" by virtue of the Righteous Judge appearing in bodily presence to do the judgment! Even as Paul (under inspiration) spoke of the righteousness of these judgments "...when the Lord Jesus shall berevealedfrom heaven with His mighty angels,in flaming firetaking vengeance on them that know not God, and thatobey not the Gospelof our Lord Jesus Christ"
It behooves men to learn and discover the righteous judgments of Christ in "THE DAY OF HIS WRATH" Lest, in being ignorant your voice will join the mighty outcry of Kings in the Last Day, when they madly exclaim to the mountains, "Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on theThrone, and fromTHE WRATH OF THE LAMB: forTHE GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATHis come;and who shall be able to stand?"
THE DAY OF EVIL
God's Judgment of the Church through Babylon:
God's Judgment Upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War (ARGUMENT SETTLED):
What is the Day of the LORD? It is "THE DAY OF EVIL" - one abundantly described for mankind's serious consideration It's a Day of inescapable evil for the greater good of the Church, even though it will be highly offensive to the Church at the beginning It is a Day of unbelievable evil and paramount strangeness insomuch that, the LORD said, "Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle" ( [], )! Nevertheless, those who understand the devil's wiles in the Evil Day will be prepared beforehand (as it was written, "that ye may be able to withstand inTHE EVIL DAY" - ); therefore, through faith in "the Testimony of Jesus", they will overcome the Dragon
The End of the World in 1,335 Days
In conclusion, I ask: What is the Day of the LORD? It lasts for a total of 1,335 Days It begins at the midpoint of the 70th Week of Daniel The Great Tribulation transpires for the whole duration of 1,260 Days Herein is God's judgment of the Church through Babylon. Then comes the next 30 Days amounting to 1,290 Days. Herein is God's judgment upon Babylon in the 2nd Advent War. Then, at last, for the next 45 Days, amounting to 1,335 Days, the Lord will regather and restore the Jews to Jerusalem for the commencement of the Millennial Reign of Christ!
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the Gospel of God?
