The Day of The Lord
Kat:
Hi George,
Another point is that when Christ returns He will rule on earth. Of course earth has the application of meaning all the nations on earth. So Christ will rule the earth physically/the land and spiritually/people.
Jer 23:5 "Behold, the days are coming," says the LORD,
"That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness;
A King shall reign and prosper,
And execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.
Jer 25:33 "And at that day the slain of the LORD shall be from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They shall not be lamented, or gathered, or buried; they shall become refuse on the ground.
Zec 14:9 And the LORD shall be King over all the earth.
In that day it shall be--
"The LORD is one,"
And His name one.
Rev 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth."
mercy, peace and love

But the word "day--yom" has a multitude of uses representing different lengths of time:
"From an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literally (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figuratively (a space of time defined by an associated term), (often used adverbially): - age, chronicles, as (so) long as, season..." Dr. Strong.
In Gen. 2:4, the SAME SIX DAYS of Gen. 1 are called "THE [singular] day." The whole judgment period of the whole world is called "A day" in Acts 17:31, etc. ......

This age is NOT the time for the salvation of all. This is "a" day of salvation, but not "the" day or only day of salvation. See my HELL Part D

The earth will PASS AWAY.
The heavens will PASS away.
Revelation 20 leads to.........................................
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
What does it say in Rev 20:11? - EARTH and Heaven Flee from the face of HIM.

Marlene:
Hello, I have a question. In Mat. 24 29-30. what or who is this Babylon the Great who all the nations worship? It sounds like a particular nation if he comes back to punish her and all the nations who worship her. Does Ray have anything about this.
In His Love,

Hi Marlene,
Here is an excerpt from lake of Fire Part: 1
http://bible-truths.com/lake1.html
Will people be literally tattooed with marks (bar codes, swastikas, Social Security numbers, implanted with computer chips or one of a hundred unscriptural marks being suggested by fundamentalist prophets) in their hands and on their foreheads so that men cannot buy or sell ice cream or automobiles without these marks? Self-appointed prophets of doom haven’t a clue as to what this mark of the beast really is or the number of his name. I have already been barred from buying and selling recently because I refuse to brandish this "mark of the beast"!
Chapter 14, Does Babylon cause all nations to literally drink of the wine of the literal wrath of her fornication? I thought wine came from grapes not wrath (of course there is that famous novel, The Grapes of Wrath).
Chapter 15, Are the seven last global plagues and catastrophes really contained in seven literal tiny gold vials or bottles?
Chapter 16, Is Jesus Christ going to return to this earth as a literal "thief"? Will every island and mountain on earth literally disappear?
Chapter 17, Will there really be a woman who will ride a literal scarlet coloured beast, having seven heads and ten horns. Can whole nations literally fornicate with a harlot? But here once more in this chapter God does reveal to us who this beast is and what the symbolic horns represent which again proves that ALL OF THESE THINGS are not literal but symbolic and represent things other than what is being described.
Chapter 18, Will the entire social, political, and economic system of the world literally collapse in just one hour because one literal city (Babylon) is destroyed?
