I wish I had the Bible in this format in childhood. Search function. Wonders never cease.

"The Day of The Lord" is not the Rapture.

The Rapture is first for the Church (not to be confused with Catholic). Christ will announce His arrival with a mighty trump. I'm thinking it's going to be loud, and people will see it and watch, but maybe only we see Him and hear. He will come with the clouds and we will go up to meet him. He calls us up. Believers who are alive will be taken to Heaven. He is the Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride so when you see this reference that's our turn. We have the Wedding Feast prepared and it is joyous and we are ready to get out of this horrible place. I am going to be watching from safety, because the horrors that are coming are hard to accept. I'm trying not to be excited for Everyone should be figuring it out because we are speeding up! Does anyone feel it?

The Day of The Lord is when He comes like a thief in the night. Everyone is evil and feeling content and there is peace, peace and then sudden destruction.

I believe the sudden destruction will be caused by the "rapture"(harpazo) that Paul writes about.

His name was Lucius Artorius Castus, which doesn't fit into your six-letter formula.

So you say, who are they or them. Behold this mystery will be exposed once and for all in the end of the age of the Gentile's. These are they who are the offspring of that woman of the seed of the serpent who was and is today. The Dreadful and Terrible Day of the Lord is Truly Neigh at Hand and nothing will escape it. All thing's shall be openly exposed once and for all concerning her, Amen and Amen indeed. All Glory, Honor, Power, Might and Majesty to our Heavenly Abba Dad and God Almighty Yahweh, in and through His Son, the Author and Finisher of our Faith who Maketh intersession for all the Holy and Beloved Saint's, the Lord of Everlasting Glory, Christ Yeshua, Jesus, Glory Amen and Amen indeed. SHALOM ISRAEL ZION AMEN ! COME LORD YESHUA JESUS AMEN !

This scripture is talking about, when all the nations and Governments of world, declare Peace And Security then instant destruction would be upon them This would mark the beginning of the great tribulation.

Mathew are you serious? This is about the last days. Its a general reference to the state of mind that Mankind will have. They will feel at ease, like it says and they will be eating and drinking and giving in marriage. Its only stating that people will have basically forgotten about God. Just when they think, where is this God of yours , where is the promise of his coming? IT has NOTHING to do with the character of King Arthur! sheesh How in the world you could ever come up with that idea I surely do not know. This is the state of mind our world is in at this moment. I looked this up only because there will be covenant made with Israel for seven years of peace and who but the pope is visiting with Israeli and Palestinian leaders this very weekend. Will this be the very covenant to bring in the beginning tribulation period? If not I think its right around the corner with all that is going on. Russia and China are getting all cozy together. Russia is pushing its limits again. And the U.S. ? We are right in the middle of all kinds of things.

 

Matthew's comment on 2012-10-30 11:59:01:

That is true. When the little horn, from Syria, rides into Jerusalem on a white horse, he will confirm a covenant with many for seven years. Immediately after that Jesus will open the second seal of Revelation 6:3 and they will not escape. The little horn will have six letters in each name, Lucius Arthur Castus.

It seems to me, as I study, that "Peace and Safety" will come after a time of war. And I feel that it will be when the Anti-Christ comes on the scene and promises it. And then the Tribulation begins. What do you think?
