Bible Note: Greetings Chris, I believe that our differences in the way that we view 'the Day of the Lord' stem from our differing perceptions of it as being a "day" or a period of time. To be honest, I do not quite agree with everything that you have written, but its really nothing to make a point of, since we are talking about eschatology which happens to be a topic that everyone seemingly has a different point of view on. As long as we all know that the Lord is returning and we have salvation in Him, then the "how" is very trivial. I have found that the "Prewrath" point of view is the view that I have found that makes the most sense to me, and you can explore that view in detail at www.signministries.org. I appreciate your response, and I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. Blessings to you, Makarios |
