对旧约以色列子民，主的日子就是耶和华的日子（赛二12，珥一15，二11，31，三14，摩五18，20，俄15，番一7，14，18，二2-3，亚十四1，玛四1，5）。这些辞句中的“日子”，主要的是用以说到神行政对付的审判。在主来以前是人的日子，由人施行审判，直到主来（林前四3-5）。然后是主的日子，开始于主的巴路西亚（同在–太二四3），及其一切的审判，结束于白色大宝座前，在人和鬼身上的审判（启二十11-15）。
主的巴路西亚（同在）开始于三年半大灾难之前，得胜的圣徒被提到诸天之上神的宝座时（十二5，十四1）。而后，第六印和头四号一切超自然的灾难，都要降下击打地和地上之物，以及诸天和天体（六12-17，八7-12），作大灾难的起头。大灾难要有三年半，其灾难主要的是末三号的灾祸，包括七碗的灾害（太二四21-22，29，启八13-九21，十一14，十五5-十六21）。这对一切住在地上的人（启三10），包括犹太人（赛二12，亚十四1-2，玛四1，5，珥一15-20，二1，11，31），以及留下来经过大灾难在基督里的信徒（启十二17），乃是试炼的时期。大灾难末了，基督的巴路西亚（同在）要与得胜者同来空中（十1），死了的信徒要复活，与经过大灾难，大体活着的信徒一同被提，在空中与主相会（林前十五52，帖前四16-17，启十四14-16）。接着，所有的信徒要在空中，主的审判台前受主审判（林后五10）。
然后是主与得胜圣徒的婚筵（启十九7-8）。随后主与祂的新妇，就是成为祂军队的得胜圣徒，要来到地上（亚十四4-5，犹14，帖前三13），与敌基督和他的军队争战，击败他们。他们要擒拿敌基督和他的假先知，把他们活活的扔在火湖里（启十九11-21）（约在这时，大巴比伦要被毁灭─十八1-十九3）。同时，主要拯救、聚集，复兴以色列人（亚十二2-14，罗十一26，太二四31，徒一6）。接着，撒但要被捆绑，扔在无底坑里（启二十1-3）。而后基督与众圣徒一同来到地上 (撒十四4-5，帖前三13) 并要审判列国（即活着的人─太二五31-46，珥三2）。
此后就是千年国（启二十4-6）。一千年后，撒但要从无底坑被释放出来，煽动部分列国，就是东半球北方的歌革和玛各，最后一次背叛神。他们要被征服、焚烧，那迷惑人的魔鬼要被扔在火湖里（启二十7-10）。此后，诸天和地因着被烧尽就彻底得了清理（彼后三7，10）。然后在白色大宝座前（启二十11-15），有末后的审判临到人（已死的人）、鬼、或许也临到堕落的天使（彼后二4）。这是神为了清理旧宇宙，在主的日子所施行的许多审判和对付之外，在祂宇宙的行政里对旧造终结的对付。然后便开始有新天新地的新宇宙，直到永远（启二一1）；其中不再有神行政对付的审判，因为没有不义居住在其中。所以，主的日子若不算那一千年，就非常短暂，也许不超过七年。这就是但以理九章二十四至二十七节七十个七的末七（七年）主要的部分。

The Day of the Lord – 2 Pet. 3:10
The day of the Lord is the day of Jehovah to the children of Israel in the Old Testament (Isa. 2:12; Joel 1:15; 2:11, 31; 3:14; Amos 5:18, 20; Obad. 15; Zeph. 1:7, 14, 18; 2:2-3; Zech. 14:1; Mal. 4:1, 5). The “day” in such terms is mainly used in the sense of judgment for governmental dealings. Before the Lord comes, it is “man’s day” in which man judges until the Lord comes (1 Cor. 4:3-5). Then it will be the “day of the Lord,” which will begin from the Lord’s parousia (with all its judgments) and will end with the judgment upon men and demons at the great white throne (Rev. 20:11-15).
The Lord’s parousia will start when the overcoming saints will be raptured to the throne of God in the heavens before the great tribulation of three and one-half years (Rev. 12:5-6; 14:1). Along with that, all the natural calamities of the sixth seal and the first four trumpets will be meted out to smite the heavens with their heavenly bodies and the earth with the things on it (Rev. 6:12-17; 8:7-12).Then the great tribulation will begin; it will last for three and one-half years with the woes and plagues of the last three trumpets and the seven bowls (Matt. 24:21-22, 29; Rev. 8:13-9:21; 11:14; 15:5-16:21). That will be a time of trial to the inhabitants of the whole earth (Rev. 3:10), including the Jews (Isa. 2:12; Zech. 14:1-2; Mal. 4:1, 5; Joel 1:15-20; 2:1, 11, 31) and the believers in Christ who will be left in the tribulation (Rev. 12:17). Before the end of the great tribulation, the dead saints will be resurrected and raptured together with the majority of the living believers, who will have passed through the great part of the tribulation, to meet with the Lord in the air (1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thes. 4:16-17; Rev. 14:14-16). Following this, all the believers will be judged by the Lord at his judgment seat in the air (2 Cor. 5:10).
Then the Lord will have his wedding feast with the overcoming saints (Rev. 19:7-8). Immediately after this, the Lord with his bride, composed of the overcoming saints as his army, will fight and defeat the Antichrist and his army. They will seize the Antichrist and his false prophet to cast them alive into the lake of fire (Rev. 19:11-21). In the meantime, the Lord will save, gather and restore Israel (Zec. 12:2-14, Rom.11:26, Matt. 24:31, Act.1:6). Following this, Satan will be bound and cast into the abyss, the bottomless pit (Rev. 20:1-3). Then the Lord will come with his saints to the earth (Zech. 14:4-5, 1 Thes. 3:13) and will judge the nations (the living – Matt. 25:31-46; Joel 3:2).
After this will be the millennial kingdom (Rev. 20:4-6). Following the thousand years, Satan will be loosed from the abyss to instigate part of the nations, Gog and Magog in the north of the eastern hemisphere, to rebel the last time against God. They will be subdued and burned, and the deceiving Devil will be cast into the lake of fire (Rev. 20:7-10). Following this, the heavens and the earth will be fully cleared up by being burned up (2 Pet. 3:7, 10). Then will come the final judgment upon men (the dead) and demons, and probably also the fallen angels, at the great white throne (Rev. 20:11-15). That will be God’s consummate dealing with his old creation in his universal government, in addition to so many judgments and dealings executed within the day of the Lord to clear up the old universe. Then a new universe will begin with a new heaven and new earth for eternity (Rev. 21:1), in which there will be no more judgment of God’s governmental dealing, for no unrighteousness will be there. Therefore, not counting the one thousand years, the day of the Lord will be very short, probably not more than seven years, of which the last week (seven years) of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9:24-27 will be the main part.
