For many people the first event of the new year was watching a ball drop or watching fireworks or banging pots or kissing a loved one--it was a celebration.
Do you know what the first event of the Day of the Lord period of time will be? Here is a hint.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 5:1,2
What event will start the Day of the Lord period that will catch the world by suprise like a theif in the night? The rapture!!!
Yes; the rapture is the first event of the Day of the Lord period. Consider the verses before 1 Thes 5:1,2 and you will see it clearly.
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 1. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 4:15 - 5:2
It is clear that the rapture is being talked about here--shall be caught up with them together in the clouds--and it will catch the world by suprise like a theif in the night. God calls this catching up of believers and the world being caught off guard as the Day of the Lord.
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
The rapture is the first event of the Day of the Lord which is then followed by the wrath of God being poured out upon the world. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 1 Thes 4:18

Thanks for the update, William. What are your thoughts on the dead birds in Arkansas...LA....and now in Chesapeake Bay?
ReplyDeleteHello Patrick
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to say exactly, best I can figure the bird and fish deaths could be geomagnetic, temperature or chemical related. The fish in the Chesepeake are probably temp related, there was a similar temp related croaker kill in the DE Bay just a few years ago. The birds could be chemical or geomagnetic related--maybe precursor to earthquakes or could have been a pocket of chemical laden air.
