The Day of The Lord
aqrinc:
Hi A,
Just trying to see if there is any insight from Ray that i have missed out on:
2Pe_3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that
are therein shall be burned up.
(But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;) is well explained by Ray. It is after the semicolon
that i am attempting to have some discussion about. If anyone has some help or direction on that part of
the verse i would love to follow that trail for a bit. I was using reverse big bang as a possible cause for the
great noise and the elements melting. Of course this may be entirely spiritual and i am on a bum steer.
George.

Found in the Revelation 20 are found these words:
Rev 20:11 And I sawG1492 a greatG3173 white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away;G5343 and there was found no place for them.
Transliterated means:
Rev 20:11 And I saw [[εἴδω eido i'-do] literally or figuratively; by implication (in the perfect only) to know: - be aware, behold, X can (+ not tell), consider, (have) known (-ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wist, wot a great [G3173 μέγας megas meg'-as Including the prolonged forms, femine μεγάλη megalē, plural μέγάλοι megaloi, etc.; compare also G3176, G3187], big (literally or figuratively, in a very wide application): - (+ fear) exceedingly, great (-est), high, large, loud, mighty, + (be) sore (afraid), strong, X to years.] white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away ;G5343 φεύγω pheugō fyoo'-go Apparently a primary verb; to run away (literally or figuratively); by implication to shun; by analogy to vanish: - escape, flee (away). and there was found no place for them.

Yea George, your last statement is where it's at...the entire scripture is spiritually and in no way literal. Just think of what the words mean:
"Heavens shall pass away"...who/what are the heavens? God dwells in the heavens; where does He dwell? In Us! We are the heavens...
"A great noise"...almost like 'a great trump'. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:52
"Elements shall melt; works are burned up" Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1 Cor. 3:13 [2nd witness Rev 20:13]
Like Ray's likes to say, it's all ONE. All the scriptures speak on 1 basic principle or parable: God making man into His image. Even the 'Day of the Lord' is all about bringing humanity into His image through judgment.

I hope you mean (entirely spiritual ???) and not a (bum steer :-X). Seriously, thanks for the neck up check up;
it was staring me in the face but i was looking past it.
