Bible Note: Greetings Val! You write "Dear Makarios, Regarding the Day of the Lord. It is a period of time not just one day." I am assuming that your eschatological point of view is different from mine. Concerning the Day of the Lord, if you read Zephaniah 1:14-18, the word "day" is mentioned 10 times. In the New Testament, if you read 2 Peter 3:4-7,9,10,12 the text mentions "looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God..". Moreover, 2 Peter 3:7 mentions "kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men". In fact, the very event of the Day of the Lord is always described as a "day." I am straining to find any scriptural evidence to suggest that the Day of the Lord is describing a period of time rather than a single day. Even if such a referent could be found, there are many more citations in Scripture where this time is described as a day event rather than a period event. Therefore, it is Scripturally sound to interpret the Day of the Lord as a literal 'day' event rather than a period event. Blessings to you, Makarios |
