In Hebrew and Greek, the word ` Day, ` refers to a period of time and a specific day. Thus, context is important to know which.
1. The Day of Christ. (Phil. 1: 6 - 10) 1 Cor. 1: 7 & 8)
This period of time is not only the first in chronological order of fulfilment but is the greatest in importance in the Divine predestinations. Each reference relates entirely and exclusively to the Church, the Body of Christ, in the specific time-slot identified with the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. It signifies completion of the highest of God`s purposes, the supreme expression of Divine revelation.
All other expressions of His ordinations are dependent on its completion.
2. The Day of the LORD. (1 Thess. 5: 2 - 9, 2 Peter 3: 10)
This has to do with Israel and the nations and is invariably connected with the wrath of God poured out in judgment on an unbelieving world. It refers to that period of time from the termination of `The Day of Christ, ` through the tribulation and millennium and terminating with the creation of the new heavens and earth which precludes `The Day of God. `
3. The Day of God. (2 Peter 3: 11 & 12)
The Day when God will purge and purify the heavens and the earth by fire. Peter is the only one who uses the phrase, `The Day of God.` (It concludes `The Day of the LORD.` )
