THE
DAY OF THE LORD

This
expression is used many times in the OT, and sometimes referred to in
the NT as the "Day of Christ", or the"Day of Jesus
Christ". In my opinion the writers are always speaking of the
same day, but from different perspectives. The OT references such as
(Zeph 1:12-18) compare quite favorably with the NT reference
(2 Peter 3:3-16). Notice they both speak of judgment by fire!
In (Luke 17:26-30) Jesus makes reference to two OT events and
relates them to the events of His second coming. The first was to the
flood in Noah's day, which as we know was a judgment on the wicked
inhabitants of the world after Noah and his righteous family were
safe in the ark! This would seem to me to be a reference to a
"Prewrath Rapture" of the righteous followers of Jesus at
His glorious return to put an end to the "great tribulation"
of the Antichrist. (Matt 24:21-22). The second reference by
Jesus was to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire. Both
events are tied in to His return in glory, the first to rescue Noah
and his family from the judgment that destroyed the wicked world with
a flood; the second to rescue His "elect" from the
destruction by fire associated with the judgment of the "Day of
the Lord"! Two things will happen on the very same day, as I see
it. First will be the return of Jesus at His appearance in the clouds
when every eye will see Him (1 Thess 4:16-18). This is
certainly not a "secret thing", as some people teach, but
visible to all who are alive at that time. Then later that same day
Father God will release His angels to commence the judgments
connected with the "Day of the Lord". Read (Rev
8:2,6-13; 9:1-21; 11:15-19) for a sequence of events that will
take some time to complete, but all will commence with the breaking
of the 7th seal of the large scroll.

For
a more detailed account of the Day of the Lord here are a few more
scriptures to check out.

(Isa
2:12, 17, 66:15-16; Joel 2:1-3; Zeph 3:8; Matt 3:12; 13:39-43; Luke
12:49; 1Thess 1:4-10)

This
outline of events associated with this expression "The Day of
the Lord" is the result of many years of studying end time
scenarios from the scriptures, as well as from different writers perspectives, but trying

to compare
scripture to scripture for the most accurate possible scenario from
my perspective.

Sincerely
submitted.
