I don't think it is a matter of people bending or twisting or pretending the Last Day is not in scripture. It is a matter of interpreting what scripture means when it talks about the The Last Day. You seem so convinced that the prophesy of the Last Day is a final 24 hour day but when you examine all the scriptures on the subject the Great Day of His Wrath in Revelation covers more than one day so this MUST be taken into consideration. They start saying that The Great Day of his wrath has come and then many judgments are poured out which cover more than one day, and yet it is all called the DAY of THE LORD in prophesy. This is not difficult to see when all of the scriptures that use that phrase are laid out for your examination. Therefore it is not possible to prove a point based on only a couple of verses that use this phrase while ignoring all others that shed more light as to its meaning.
