Really? There are A TON of Scripture that speak of 'the day of the Lord,' in so many words, but, make no mistake, REFERENCE is to THE DAY OF THE LORD :)

I am posting the verses of Acts 2 , and, the 'last days' of God's words, not mine, and, also, what do 'blood, fire, and, billows of smoke' have to do with 'the great and glorious day of the Lord.' :)

Acts 2:

 ‘In the last days, God says,I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
18Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.

19I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20The sun will be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.


Here are some verses from a youtube person's postings of verses to do with 'the day of the Lord,' in so many words, but, make no.......... ;)

Are the last days going to be like this?

[video=youtube;c1RHpkF8eLI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1RHpkF8eLI[/video]

or



Note: for last picture, the one above, of the last day of Pentecost, or, rather, "the day of Pentecost," sorry, Freudian slip, but, please insert a sun that will not give off it's light and a moon that turns to blood. Thank you for your support. :)

    I also want to know that I believe in pre-tribulation, that is, there will be a time that Christ comes back to get those who are His, this would be 'The Rapture,' of course. So, ALL this 'stuff' that goes on 'in the last days,' is going to bRING the Israelites back to Him, back to Christ, this is God's grand plan for mankind BEFORE the old Earth's crust burns up and we live with Christ forevermore. Some want to say 'live and reign,' why, who are we reigning over, anyway? Who do we need to reign over? We WILL all be in glorious appreciation of our 'paradise,' which will be ADam and Eve living forevermore.

    Beautiful sounding, isn't it, the end, the time evermore AFTER 'in the last days?' Yeah, beautiful :)

Methinks the "some" are mistaken in what they are saying. :)

I don't fully understand the ideas behind this. Will our souls go to heaven before our bodies come to join us? Will we be just "dead" and not know where we are until the Rapture and then become "alive" within our glorified bodies and all go to heaven at the same time? LOL I'm confoozed. :) I would love to read the thoughts on this. Thanks.

I don't know how many really think that we will live and reign, I wasn't saying that 'some' will be condemned if having that thought of thinking they are reigning over someone, that thought was just there put so to cause us all to think about Him in so-glorious a loving way, it's just going to be paradise, bottom line, Adam and Eve all over again, newlyHis.

The Rapture is in 1 Thessalonians 4: 17 and also in John 14: 1-3, and, also in part of the gospel that says that two will be working in the field and one will suddenly be gone and one will be left working.


I believe sooo much in God's Love for us, that we WILL NOT be around for the horrible time of the tribulation, spanning 7 years' time, as I believe (pre-trib rapture). We will be with Him, sleeping or whatever, I believe Paul, we will be sleeping with Jesus, the thought is of total peace and paradise, like going to sleep in a dream and dreaming good God things of doing exactly the good things that warms the cockles of our heart and brings the greatest good and blessing to mankind through God's work in us. Wow ! The 'thought' of that, speaking of thoughts. methinks that is grand and glorious, so great is the end going to be for those who are His, either BEFORE the tribulation or come to Him through the atrocities committed by 'The Lawless One' and armies of evil , and, antiChrist.

It is best to pray for God's hand on all this, you WANT to follow Him , believe as He has you to believe , and, I believe that whatever happens in the end times, it will be fabulous fine, we will all just say 'I told you so' if one Christian is right over the other for their eschatology end-times view :)

But, this thread, make no mistake, is, I pray His leading, I just don't know, I know I hit on peoples' hearts and I just must follow Him and methinks that's the only way for me, and, He shows me things. I am humble, want to be but......

....a 'rep' comment, like has happened on this thread, despite just you finally commenting, brother, tells me something, and, that something is something from Him :)

I definitely was not condemning anyone. That's not my place. I just think the phrase, "live and reign" is used in the wrong context by some who do not quite understand it's meaning. I don't think they are condemned for lack of understanding.

In any case, thank you, Green. I appreciate your response.

When Christ comes it is not the end of the world...

Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

world:

G165
αἰών
aiōn
ahee-ohn'
From the same as G104; properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): - age, course, eternal, (for) ever (-more), [n-]ever, (beginning of the, while the) world (began, without end). Compare G5550.

it is the end of this age and the beginning of the Millenium. I couldn't vote for any choice, but I will state for the record, I am in no way a Preterist and have NO Preterist leanings.

My choice would be...

The end of the age, right before Christ comes again and reigns after the tribulation time of REvelation?

Which appears to be right about now in the next several years.

Hebrews 1 says, 'In these last days,' by the unknown author of Hebrews, God's inspired writer.

Acts 2 says, 'In THE last days,' there is a difference here. It also is a direct quote by Peter in reference to Joel's prophecy of old times that is a prophetic word that 'God says.'


In THESE last days.....

In THE last days.......



They are DIFFERENT. The definite article brings an entirely different meaning.

Plus, IF we go through Acts 2 just a little after 'in the last days,' it says that "old men will dream dreams and young men will see visions."

Now, where THROUGHOUT history have you seen this occur already ????????????????

I mean, some want to argue that the 'the last days' simply refers to Jerusalem's collapse time in 70 A.D. but, in that time, really , does it explain the mens dreams and visions ?? This would NOT be the speaking of tongues at the Day of Pentecost, so, what could it POSSIBLY refer ??????

I mean, the moon will turn to blood can be something called a 'blood moon,' and the sun not giving off its light can be a 'solar eclipse,' I just don't believe that is that simple myself, the moon in the sky IN THE LAST DAYS will be an ominous SIGN the world over of BLOOD in the moon, not just a simple little reddish tint to the moon rock up there, but BLOOD !! Like the blood of Christ but different ;)

So, how do you reconcile these truths about visions and dreams of men and 'in the last days ' versus 'in these last days' , as Acts 2 and Hebrew 1 contend ???

Can anyone answer this, per Acts 2, and, God says, 'In the last days, young men will dream dreams and older men will see visions,' when was this SEEN shown ANYWHERE in Scripture as having come true or going to come true. In this Acts time on, including the actual Day of Pentecostal, where people suddenly all spoke in tongues and understood each other's tongues, are 'vision' and ' dreams' seen by young and old men, respectively? Where? I also don't see where 'sons and daughters' will both prophesy. Do you?

"I believe sooo much in God's Love for us, that we WILL NOT be around for the horrible time of the tribulation,"""

Hey brother, I know why you would think that. But I have to say, when Jesus says a great distress will be on all nations, such as has never been before, and he's talking about it being that bad before his coming, I can't possibly see how it's going to be blissful. We will be hated, persecuted, some burned, brought before judges, men will be FAINTING from the fear of everything coming upon them. All nations will be in distress, that doesn't sound like such a blissful thing to me....now I know we see the church in Philadelphia and see will be spared, and think it's not going to be that bad for us.

And believe you me, I know it's gonna be way worse AFTER WE leave, but it also doesn't sound like everything is just peachy king before we do either...I'm just saying.
