There are Two Days of the Lord to come.

The Creator God ‘reset civilization’ in Noah’s day and now we are facing the same judgement. God promised after the Flood, to never again use water or wipe out life so completely.  Genesis 9:11

But in Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-35, He tells us of a terrible fire punishment stored up for His enemies, on their Day of Doom. Isaiah 54:9-10

There are many descriptions in the prophesies of this sudden and devastating worldwide Day of fire and earthquakes, most are either ignored or allegorized because people cannot see any literal fulfilment.

The biggest difficulty that most have, is realizing the difference between the Lord’s Day of vengeance and wrath and the Return of Jesus in His glory.

Isaiah 13:9-13 The Day of the Lord is coming, that cruel Day of wrath and fierce anger, to reduce the earth to desolation and to destroy the wicked there. The sun, moon and stars will give no light. Humans will become scarce, as rare as fine gold and the earth will quake at the wrath of God on the Day of His blazing anger.

This and many other prophesies cannot be reconciled with the glorious Return of Jesus, when ‘every eye will see Him’. It is clearly stated that on the Day of wrath, He will not be seen.  Psalms 18:11, Habakkuk 3:4, Psalms 11:4-6

We are told in Revelation 6:17, that the Sixth Seal judgement is the Day of the Lord’s wrath and then the Seventh Seal is an ‘about a 20 year’ time gap when the world recovers, enabling righteous Israel, that is; every faithful Christian, from every race, nation and language, Revelation 5:9-10,  to return to the holy Land and the rise of a One World government.

Then, after the rest of the prophesies from Rev 8 to Rev 19:11, are fulfilled, Jesus will Return and commence His Millennial reign.

Keras….there are two returns,  that you have right, the first one is the return of Jesus and the resurrection of the Saint’s,  the second is the return of The of our Heavenly Father , GOD ALMIGHTY. 

FALSE prophets have these events mixed up, that is why all the confusion exists about the book of revelations,  no one can understand it right, unless they have the ” key” given in REV 17: 10,  and tie it to what Daniel the prophets said in Dan 2:34-35…count the kingdoms that are destroyed , you will have “five” the the one that takes there place is the “sixth” world ruling kingdom of Jesus Christ, and the Saints.

That is the “ONE”that “IS” ,  mentioned in Rev 17: 10,  then after that thousand year period rises the,  “seventh” kingdom which is the resurrection of the previous five Babylonian kingdoms that once ruled on this earth will again rise , at the end of the ‘SIXTH’ , when Satan is released from the bottomless pit, where he was placed at the “beginning” of the Sixth kingdom of Jesus and the Saint’s.  These latter kingdoms 7&8, only last a short time 3 1/2 years, the God the Father return and destroys them with fire , at his return.

As i said  keras , the key is to understand that the “ONE” the “IS” , is the kingdom of Jesus Christ and the Saint’s,
John was transported in time to the Kingdom  of the Lord Jesus Christ in fact right at the end of the millennium, he was “not”  speaking, from the time of the forth kingdom of “IRON” the Roman Empire, when he was given the prophesy, but was speaking about what would take place AT THE END of the SIXTH KINGDOM. If you don’t understand that time line , you cannot understand Revelations correctly.

So you are right in the sense there are two returns , one of Jesus Christ the other is the return of Almighty God.  They have have the events all mixed up , because the simply do not understand the right time line,  given in Rev 17:10 , and that John was carried in Spirit to the day of the Lord Jesus Christ’s  reign.

peace and love to you and yours………gene

Thanks Gene, you make some good points.

But as I explained in #1, in the next prophesied event, the Sixth Seal world changer, the Lord will not be seen and does not appear on earth, Habakkuk 3:3-2, so it isn’t a Return.

It will be a parallel event to Noah’s Flood, the destruction of His enemies and the protection of His faithful people.

After the Millennium, Revelation 21:1-7; God will then come to dwell with mankind on earth.
