DAY of the LORD.
“This
is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (Psalm
118:24).
GOD
keeps his promises!
After
Noah and his family came out of the ark after the great flood, God declared to
Noah:
“I [DO
SET MY BOW IN THE CLOUD], and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me
and the earth. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and
every living creature of all flesh; and [THE WATERS SHALL NO MORE BECOME A
FLOOD TO DESTROY ALL FLESH]” (Genesis 9:13, 15).
“Whereby the world that then
was, [BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER, PERISHED]: But [THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH,
WHICH ARE NOW, BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE, RESERVED UNTO FIRE] against
the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men” (2 Peter 3:6-7).
“For
[GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER
BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE]. For God sent
not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him
might be saved” (John 3:16-17).
“For
we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a
building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” (2
Corinthians 5:1).
“The
Lord [IS NOT SLACK CONCERNING HIS PROMISE], as some men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all
should come to [REPENTANCE].
But
the [DAY OF THE LORD] will come as a thief in the night; in the which the [HEAVENS
SHALL PASS AWAY WITH A GREAT NOISE, AND THE ELEMENTS SHALL MELT WITH FERVENT
HEAT, THE EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED UP].
Seeing
then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye
to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the
coming of the [DAY OF GOD], wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?” (2 Peter 3:9-12).
“Nevertheless
we, [ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE, LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, WHEREIN
DWELLETH RIGHTEOUSNESS]. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such
things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and
blameless.” (2 Peter 3:13-15).
