Day of Redemption: Lord Jesus
built 219 days ago
One day of rest in a week of hard work, according to the pattern of God's creation order, was a great gift of God to mankind in paradise. It was ... a great gift to God's people Israel. It still is a great gift of a caring and gracious Father in heaven through Jesus Christ to the New Testament church. Since the day of rest and worship is God's gift, mankind, and in the first place the church, should receive and accept this gift and use it to God's glory in the proper, God-willed way. Sanctification of the day of rest still results in sanctification of all the days of the week and, thus, of the entire life of those who believe. Desecration of the day of rest results in increasing desacration of the other days of the week and of one's entire life.

The next two references to the day of the Lord are in the Thessalonian epistles. The first is 1 Thessalonians 5:2, in which Paul told the believers that "you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:2). Two verses later he says, "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief" (v. 4, emphasis added). Why would he say that the day would not overtake them like a thief if it was not going to overtake them at all? In the rest of the chapter he goes on to talk about how they are of the day and of the light, not of the darkness as others.

The day of redemption refers to the redemption of the body when it is resurrected (or raptured) and glorified (Romans 8:21–23). Therefore this sealing is not promised to any (unsaved) who are living prior to the rapture (within the Church Age) and continue past it into the great tribulation. That is one good reason to adhere to the scriptural injunction: “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: (Isaiah 55:6, 2 Corinthians 6:2).

In the New Testament church the day of rest and worship changed from the seventh to the first day of the week. This first day is called "the Lord's day." It was on the first day of the week that the Lord rose from the dead.

The fact that the day of the Lord "is coming" indicates very strongly that the events described in (Joel 2: 1-11). are future to the locust plague, which has already taken place. Further, the destruction described in (Joel 2: 1-11). suggests that this is a plague of a different sort than the earlier one.

[T]he New Testament ... refers to the day of Christ as a hope for believers. Some have tried to make this a different event from the day of the Lord, but as we saw, 1 Corinthians 1:8 makes reference to the "day of our Lord Jesus Christ," while 2 Corinthians 1:14 refers to the "day of the Lord Jesus." These seem to tie both of them together. The title Lord is used almost exclusively of Christ in the New Testament. The classic statement of faith is "Jesus Christ is Lord" (Rom. 10:9; 1 Cor. 12:3; Phil. 2:11). If Lord and Christ are the same person I find no problem with day of the Lord and day of Christ being the same event, especially when we see that it is variously referred to as day of Jesus Christ, his day, day of God, great day, day of wrath, the day, that day, day of redemption, and day of visitation.
