Day of the Lord

[Keras]

Like the dawn, it covers the earth

Joel 1:15 The day is near, the Day of the Lord: it comes as a mighty destruction from Almighty God.

Joel 2:1-5 Blow the trumpet in Israel, sound the alarm in Jerusalem. Let all who live in the Land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming – it is close at hand. A Day of darkness and clouds. Like [at] the dawn, an innumerable host comes across the land, such as never was and will never be again. A fire goes before them, leaving wasteland behind. With a great noise they leap mountains and consume everything to stubble.

Joel 2:6-11 At the sight of them, all the nations are in anguish. They march in line, none swerving against any defence. They rush upon cities and enter houses through the windows. The earth quakes and the sky is darkened. The Lord thunders at the head of His army, beyond number are those who obey His command. The Day of the Lord is great and dreadful, who can endure it?

Joel 1:6-12 & 19-20 this invading host destroys trees and crops. Fire has burnt the pastures and trees. All the streams have dried up.

The Day of the Lord, as described by Joel is not Armageddon, at the Return of Jesus or at the Great White Throne judgement. It is plainly an event before then, also prophesied in Isaiah 2:12-21, Revelation 6:12-17, Ezekiel 7:2-9: + over other 100 times.

Joel uses the metaphor of an army to describe how this destruction moves across the earth as it rotates- ‘with the dawn’. As nations turn to face the sun, the effects of a Coronal Mass Ejection- sunstrike will hit them.  Initially, it will strike the earth as a light flash [Isaiah 30:26a] within 8 minutes, then the highly charged cosmic particles arrive about 24 hours later, causing immense destruction and deaths. Fires and volcanic eruptions will result in smoke and ash clouds, covering the sky. Isaiah 29:5-6, Psalms 18:7-15, Jeremiah 4:23-28

It will be an event ‘such has never been and will never be again;  NOT caused by man.

 Judah [the current State of Israel] will be badly affected- Hosea 8:14, Ezekiel 20:45-48, Isaiah 4:3-4, Zephaniah 1:1-18

And the Lord’s enemies: Isaiah 22:5-14, Psalms 83:1-18, Isaiah 63:1-6, Jeremiah 12:14

Deuteronomy 32:34-43 says how He will act when His enemies ‘foot will slip”. That is: they make a mistake. That mistake will be their instigating an attack against Israel.   Micah 4:11-12

 

Malachi 4:1-3 Surely the day of the Lord is coming, it will burn like a furnace. All the evildoers will be as stubble, they will be burned up. They will be ashes under your feet. But for you, who revere My Name, righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. You will rejoice and prevail over the wicked on the Day that I act against them.

THEN the many prophecies that describe the migration of all true believers into the Promised Land will come to pass. This great exodus of His faithful Christian people will fulfil the promises that God made to the Patriarchs and they will, at last be a people that will be a ‘light to the nations’. They will prepare themselves and the world for the Return of Jesus. Ezekiel 35:11-30, Ezekiel 36:8-12, Deuteronomy 30:1-10, Zechariah 10:6-12, Isaiah 46:27-28, Ezekiel 39:25-29, Zephaniah 10:6-12

That Jesus is not yet present at this time, is clear from the many verses saying: ‘You will know that I am the Lord, when...  And how it ‘will be as in the days of Egypt’.     Ezekiel 14:6-11, Ezekiel 39:22, Joel 2:27, Isaiah 41:20.

Most people would attribute that Day of Lord the entirety of the 7th week of Daniel, but that is not what the scriptures says.  The day of the Lord happens after the 7th seal is opened.  Joel says the following the Day of the Lord happens after the Sun goes dark and Moon to blood which is apart of the 6th seal, the 7th seal is beginning of God's Wrath which includes the (Trumpets, Vials of Wrath).  And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. - Joe 2:30-31 KJV

---

1st seal/White Horse: World Wide Deception... And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. - Mat 24:4-5 (RCC, Islam, New Age, Universalism, False Gospels, etc.)  

2nd Seal/Red Horse:  World Wars (World War 1, 2, civil wars & unrest, uprisings, etc...)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet. - Mat 24:6   Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that [people] should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword. - Rev 6:4 

3rd Seal/Black Horse: World Famine and Pestilences...and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these [are] the beginning of sorrows. - Mat 24:7-8 

4th Seal/Pale horse: represents the start of the Great Tribulation, its a culmination of all three previous seals (deception, wars, famine, plagues, and death all over the world) called the Great Tribulation. This is were the one world beast government and Anti-Christ/false prophet rise to power.  For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake, those days shall be shortened....

5th Seal/Great Persecution/Mass Apostasy: Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. - Mat 24:7, 9-11

6th Seal/Cosmic Disturbance/Signs in the Heavens: Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. - Mat 24:5, 7-11, 29-30 KJV

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. - Joe 2:30-31 KJV

I believe this is the point where God deliverers his people and seals the 144000 Israelites from the wrath to come.

7th seal/God's Wrath: includes all the Trumpet Judgements and Vials of Wrath on the rest of the world. The Seventh Seal is the Great Day of God's Wrath, this happens after the Sun is darkened and the Moon turns to blood.

The Day of the Lord's vengeance and wrath, will be a single day event. Isaiah 9:14, Zechariah 3:9, Revelation 18:8   It will be the Sixth Seal worldwide disaster.  IT is not advisable to shuffle the events as Written in Revelation. 

The first Five Seals were opened at Christ’s Ascension, as per Revelation 5 and 6:1-11 and Zechariah 6:1-7

Proved by the terrible wars, famines and plagues we have experienced since then.

The Fifth Seal is obviously open and all the souls of the martyrs since Stephen are kept under the Altar in heaven.

Then the Sixth Seal: the terrible Day of the Lord's wrath, is the next prophesied event we can expect, with its dramatic cosmic and world shaking things prophesied, triggered by an attack upon Israel. Psalms 83, Micah 4:11-12

The Seventh Seal is nothing more than a time gap; of a half hour in heaven, which calculates to about 20 earth years.

Yes there is as brief silence at the beginning of the opening of the 7th seal and here is why according to scripture.

Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD [is] at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. ... And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, [that there shall be] the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. ... The great day of the LORD [is] near, [it is] near, and hasteth greatly, [even] the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers. And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. - Zep 1:7-8, 10, 14-18 

The silence is a time God prepares a great feast and calls together his guest this happens before the Wrath of God is poured out (trumpets, bowels). 

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all [men, both] free and bond, both small and great. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. - Rev 19:17-21

[Keras]

Zephaniah 1:14-18 The great Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath ¹ is near, very near and coming quickly. Listen for the sound of that Day ². When it comes, even the warriors will panic and be terrified.

That Day will be a day of great fury, a day of distress and torment, a day of destruction and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick blackness, a day of the shofar battle call against fortifications and upon all military strength ³.

Because the people have sinned against the Lord, He will bring a shocking disaster to all those who live in the holy Land. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their entrails like dung. Their strength and riches will not save them on the Day of the Lord’s fiery wrath, the whole Land will be burnt and devastated. For He will make an end, a horrible end of all who live in the holy Land ⁴.

 

Isaiah 13:9-13  Here comes the Day of the Lord’s wrath; a Day full of fury and the outpoured wrath of the Lord. The whole earth will be devastated ⁵ and the ungodly people will be destroyed.

On that Day, you will not have any light from the sun, the moon or the stars ⁶. The sky will tremble and shudder and the earth will be shaken from is place ⁷.  On that Day, humans will become scarce, they will be as rare as fine gold, after the Day of the Lord’s blazing anger ⁸. 

Isaiah 24:1-13 Be warned, the Lord is about to strip the earth, ruin and devastate it. All the world’s inhabitants, without exception, will be severely affected ⁹. For the Lord has spoked this Word: The whole world is defiled by its peoples, they have changed the Laws, ignored the Statutes and broken the everlasting Covenant.

Therefore My curse will consume the earth and its inhabitants will suffer punishment. They are burned up and very few are left ¹⁰. There will no longer be revelry and partying, the sounds of music and song will cease.

The cities and towns will be in chaos ¹¹, every house locked and the people gone. They will be deserted, with all the roads and bridges destroyed. It will be like that throughout the world, in all the nations, just like an olive tree, beaten and stripped after the harvest.  Ref: NIV, KJV, CJB, REB. Some verses condensed.

 

1/ This Great Day is the Lord’s Judgement/Punishment of the nations. Habakkuk 3:12 Nothing like what is prophesied above has happen to the world since Noah’s Flood.

Now, as 2 Peter 3:7 says: The earth is reserved for burning…. We are told that God will bring out of His storehouse… Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-35, the sun: Isaiah 30:26, by a massive explosion, that will cause all the vividly described effects.     It will affect every nation on earth, as it revolves; just for the daylight hours.

This worldwide disaster will be triggered by an attack onto Israel by her enemies. Haggai 2:6, Isaiah 63:1-6, Psalms 83:1-18, Romans 1:18, Revelation 6:12-17

2/ The great sound will be heard around the world. Jeremiah 25:30-31, Jeremiah 51:54-55, Isaiah 29:6, Joel 2:1

3/ All the kinds of military powers will be destroyed, especially the nuclear weapons neutralized. Jeremiah 49:35, Jeremiah 50:22-27, Hosea 2:18, Amos 5:9, Micah 5:10-11, Isaiah 32:14, Hosea 8:14

4/ All of the holy Land will be devastated and depopulated: Jeremiah 12:14, Jeremiah 10:18, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Ezekiel 21:1-7, Micah 1:6, Hosea 4:3, Isaiah 6:11-12

5/ The whole world will be severely affected: Zephaniah 3:8, Isaiah 66:15-16, Malachi 4:3, Nahum 1:5, Jeremiah 25:32

6/ There will be no natural light, caused by the electrically induced atmospheric changes and smoke from the fires and volcanoes. Isaiah 47:3, Amos 5:20, Joel 2:2, Jeremiah 4:23, Isaiah 34:4, Revelation 6:13…the sky rolled up like a scroll…..

7/ The earth will be pushed along its orbital track, bringing us back to a 360 day year. Isaiah 13:13, Haggai 2:21-22, Joel 2:10, Psalms 18:7

8/ Possibly up to 2/3 of the world’s population will die. Evil peoples will be destroyed. This Judgement by fire will be God’s second reset of human civilization and similar in magnitude to the Flood. Isaiah 26:21, Isaiah 51:6, Isaiah 30:30, Jeremiah 9:21-22, Ezekiel 21:21, Revelation 14:17-20

9/ Everybody alive then, will experience this terrible time, it will fall upon all and test the worth of each person. 1 Corinthians 3:13, Luke 21:35, John 17:15, Revelation 3:19, Psalms 118:17-18, 1 Peter 4:12

10/ The Middle East region will be the most affected by the direct hit of this CME, but many will die around the world from the resultant earthquakes, storms and tsunamis. Isaiah 33:10-13, Isaiah 63:1-6, Psalms 37:20, Amos 5:8, Nahum 1:8

11/ After this worldwide disaster that will destroy our modern infrastructure, to restore law and order, the survivors will establish a One World Government. There will be ten regions, each ruled by a President. Daniel 11:21-24, Revelation 17:12. But the new nation, in all of the holy Land, called Beulah, will not be a part of the OWG. Isaiah 62:1-5, Ezekiel 39:25-29, Ezekiel chapters 40-48, Zechariah 8:1-13

 

Isaiah 24:14-16 & 23 The Lord’s people lift their voices, they shout for joy. His righteous people in the West, in the East and on the islands of the sea: all giving honour to the God of Israel. From the ends of the earth, we hear them singing: Glory to God, our Saviour and Redeemer.

Zechariah 8:4-6 The Lord says: I am about to rescue My people and bring them back to live in the holy Land. Once again old men and women will sit in the streets of Jerusalem and the place will be full if children at play. Even if this seems impossible to those who remain in those days, will it be impossible for Me?

Revelation 7:9-10 I saw a vast throng, [in Jerusalem] too many to count; people from all races, every tribe, nation and language, standing before the throne of the Lamb. They were robed in white and had palm branches in their hands. They shouted: Victory to our God and to the Lamb who sits on the throne!

Note that Jesus will be revealed to His own before His Return. 2 Thess. 1:10, Rev 14:1

 

All those people who are faithful to God and accept the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, are ‘accounted worthy’. Colossians 1:10-12, 2 Peter 3:14 They are all deemed to be Israelites, whether by descent or by grafting in. Galatians 3:26-29

They will be protected during the forthcoming Day of the Lord’s wrath, Joel 3:32, Isaiah 43:2, and the Lord will provide ways of transportation for them. Psalms 68:17, Psalms 107:1-32, Isaiah 66:20 They will gather and settle into all of the holy Land. Isaiah 49:8-23, Zechariah 10:8-10, Jeremiah 31:8-9 The Lord will give them new names: Isaiah 62:1-5 and a new language: Zephaniah 3:9

Yes its an army. A very well trained army if I say so myself. Unlike the Russian military which can't stop tripping over its own feet. The king of the norths army which invades the middle east and obliterates it on the day of the Lord is very well trained. My niece's husband is in that military. He lost Alot of friends in the second war with the king of the south.

PS, it's not just the army mind you. 

The north will have a great fleet of ships just off the coast of the promised land on the day of the Lord too. They also will be attacking all the land in the middle east as well.

I'm betting both 5th and 6th fleets will take part on the day of the Lord.

As usual, you trip your own self up with bad assumptions. 

So, what does the Day of the Lord do? Think about it, don't just assume you understand because f verbiage, I mean we have people who actually think the universe is 6000 years all because they cant understand the way the bible was written. So, God could judge all men at the exact same tine if he wanted to, both the Great White Throne and the wicked resurrected 1000 years later could be judged at one time, by why is it separated by 1000 years? 

Satan must be found guilty via PROOFS !! Right now there us no comparison events, only Satan ruling over this world. He won that from mankind via trickery, Adam had Dominion in Genesis and got tricked by Satan. So, for 6000 years Satan has ruled over mankind. The Day of the Lord is THE DAY God starts taking His Creation back from Satan, He is going to kill all of Satan's Servants so to speak, lock up Satan, meet out Judgment unto all of the Nations, over a 1260 day period of time, he boots Satan down to earth for this last 1260 period of time, the soon to come (already born) Anti-Christ is not allowed to go forth conquering until God's Wrath falls at the Revelation 8 Trumpet Judgments, the Seals ARE NOT Judgments, they are Prophetic in Nature, just like Joel 2:31.

God starts taking back His Kingdom from Satan on THAT DAY, its not OBE DAY, just because it's called the Day of the Lord. Anyone well versed in the passages that speak on this cant miss these facts, it would seem, but some do. The Day of the Lord starts with His Wrath and ends with Jesus Resurrecting and Judging the Wicked. Psstt, it is the 7th Day being finished up sop tp speak, God's tranquility or REST will finally come to earth. Jesus will reign for 1000 years, then at Satan's trial, it will be shown, Satan 6000 year reign will be compared to Jesus 1000 year reign, and that will condemn him once and for all. 

And NO SEALS have been opened, the Church is with Jesus in Heaven when He opens the Seals, which are on a JUDGMENT BOOK, not real events !! Do you not understand that a message was Sealed by a King via 3 signet seals, and no one could read that message until ALL THREE WERE OPENED ? How does that point escape you? 7 Means Divine Completion, thus the 7 Seals represent God/Jesus having the Book of Judgments/Scroll SEALED until He is ready to pass Judgment, thus in Heaven with the Church (Rev. 5:9-10 MANDATES it is the Church there) Jesus opens up the Seals AND Prophesies what is about to fall onto mankind !!

He Opens the First 5 which are all 5 about the coming Anti-Christs rule on earth. 1.) He Conquers 2.) Brings War/Takes away peace 3.) These wars bring Famine 4.) His rule brings Death/Sickness and the Grave 5.) He Martyrs the Gentile Saints who gets saved during the 70th week. 

Then Jesus tells about God's soon to come Wrath in Seal #6, the key to understanding these Seals are Prophetic in nature is understanding why Seal #7 is over in Rev. 8. Why must that be? Because Rev. 7 is the Jews fleeing Judea at the 1290 event, its not 144,000 Jews else God lied Zechariah 13:8-9 when he said that 1/3 of the Jews will be saved, or 5 million Jews since there are 15 million Jews alive today, and He also said he was going to save 7000. You see, all three are correct, but only by using God Code. 7 = Divine Completion, 10 = Completion, 12 = Fulness etc. etc. etc. So, 7 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 7000 (Or Divine Completion x Completion x 3) And 12 x 12 x 10 x 10 x 12 is God saying Fulness times 2 x Completion times 3 = (Fulness x Completion) Basically ALL THREE say ALL Israel will be saved, not every Jew, but Israel as a Nation is preserved, the 7000 and 144,000 are CODE, the 1/3 is real a CODE ALSO, an unknowable quantity until these end times.

The 5th Seal is he 70th week Saints. No wonder you are all over the place on TIMING sir.
