“Day” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Besides the ordinary application of
the word
, it is used in
scripture
as defining different periods. The term “that day” often occurs in
the Prophets
and in the
New
Testament
referring to the
Messiah
’s day,
sometimes
connected with
judgment
and sometimes with
blessing
, the context of each
passage
showing its application. The subject generally may be divided into:
1.
Th
e days of the
Law
and the Prophets
, which extended from the giving of the law until the coming of the Messiah. “At the end of these days [
God
] has spoken to us in [His]
Son
,” as
Hebrews 1:2
2
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (Hebrews 1:2)
should read. This introduced Messiah’s Day. But He was rejected and His reign postponed.
2.
In the meantime
the Day of
Grace
supervenes, during which the
church
is being called out.
The
Lord
Jesus
wrought out
redemption
, ascended to
heaven
, and sent down
the
Holy
Spirit
. Of this
time
He said “In that day ye shall know that I am in My
Father
, and ye in Me, and I in you” (
John 14:20
20
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. (John 14:20)
: Compare also
John 16:23, 26
23
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. (John 16:23)
26
At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: (John 16:26)
). The present period is referred to as
man
’s day
(
1 Cor. 4:3
3
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. (1 Corinthians 4:3)
, margin). These are also “the
last days
” in which scoffers would come (
2 Pet. 3:3
3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, (2 Peter 3:3)
;
Jude 18
18
How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. (Jude 18)
).
3.
Messiah’s Day
, when He returns in judgment and then to reign. “The day is at hand” (
Rom. 13:12
12
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (Romans 13:12)
;
Heb. 10:25
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)
). “The day shall declare it” (
1 Cor. 3:13
13
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. (1 Corinthians 3:13)
). It is also called “the last day” (
John 6:39-54
39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
41
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
43
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48
I am that bread of life.
49
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
52
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:39‑54)
;
John 11:24
24
Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. (John 11:24)
;
John 12:48
48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (John 12:48)
). And it is called “the great day.”
Elijah
will come before the great and dreadful
day of the Lord
(
Mal. 4:5
5
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: (Malachi 4:5)
). The kings of the
earth
will be gathered to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty
(
Rev. 16:14
14
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. (Revelation 16:14)
). It is also called “the day of Christ” and “the day of Jesus Christ” (
Phil. 1:6, 10
6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: (Philippians 1:6)
10
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; (Philippians 1:10)
;
Phil. 2:16
16
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain. (Philippians 2:16)
; compare
1 Cor. 1:8
8
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:8)
;
2 Cor. 1:14
14
As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus. (2 Corinthians 1:14)
).
“Time, Times” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Time has been described as “the measure of motion,” as seen in the movements of the heavenly bodies; or as “the duration of periods,” of which we can conceive a
beginning
and an ending. It stands in contrast to ETERNITY, of which no beginning and no ending can be conceived.
Christians are exhorted to “redeem the time” (
Eph. 5:16
16
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:16)
;
Col. 4:5
5
Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. (Colossians 4:5)
). This does not mean “to make up for lost time”; but to seize every favorable opportunity. In
Daniel 2:8
8
The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me. (Daniel 2:8)
the king said that the
wise men
sought “to gain the time,” that is, obtain a delay in the
hope
that the king might relent, or that something might happen that would save them.
As to the various events foretold by
God
that have yet to come to pass, it is not for the
Christian
to know “the times or the
seasons
which the
Father
hath
put
in his own
power
” (
Acts 1:7
7
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. (Acts 1:7)
). But, on the other hand, when two events have been foretold, the one of which must take place before the other (as the “rapture” of the saints before the
day
of the
Lord
when He will return with His saints), Christians are expected to know about them, for the
apostle
Paul
writes “Of the times and the seasons,
brethren
, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a
thief
in the
night
” (
1 Thess. 5:1-2
1
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:1‑2)
). If is further explained in
2 Thessalonians 2:3-10
3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
5
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6
And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8
And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:3‑10)
, that the day of the Lord could not come before
the revelation
of the
Antichrist
. Still as to the
when
of this and of the “rapture” of the saints, we are
not
to know, but are to be always ready for the latter.
Of the
children
of
Issachar
it is said that they were men “that had understanding of the times, to know what
Israel
ought to do” (
1 Chron. 12:32
32
And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment. (1 Chronicles 12:32)
). They understood the mind of God, namely, that
David
should be king of the whole of
the
twelve
tribes. So
the
Holy
Spirit
can direct the saints to the particular line of
truth
most suitable to the period in which they live, and teach them what they ought to do; as, for example, a line of truth and action for the present state of the
church
is pointed out in the Second Epistle to
Timothy
, agreeing, as it does, with the later addresses to the
Seven
Churches in Revelation 3.
The word
“time” is used in
Daniel 7:25
25
And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. (Daniel 7:25)
;
Daniel 12:7
7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. (Daniel 12:7)
;
Revelation 12:14
14
And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (Revelation 12:14)
, for a “
year
”: hence “time, times, and a half “ signify
three
years and a half. See
SEVENTY WEEKS
. The expression in
Revelation 10:6
6
And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: (Revelation 10:6)
, “time should be no longer,” is better translated “there should be no longer delay.”
