"How long is the day of the Lord?"


 
John and Doves,

For anyone who is not sure how long the day of the Lord is, I can repost Zephaniah 2 to illustrate. Through the prophet Zephaniah, God has told us the day of the Lord's anger shall begin with Gaza, Ashkelon, Moab, Ammon. This event shall occur right at the beginning of 7 years tribulation. This is the fulfillment of three shepherds war and the 4th transgression in Amos 1-2. God then proceeds His anger to Ethiopia. This event takes place after Antichrist invades Israel in mid-trib. He shall go after Egypt, Ethiopia and Libya these north African nations per Daniel 11:42-43. Then God concludes His anger by bringing His judgment to Nineveh. According to Nahum 1, Antichrist the wicked counseller shall choose Nineveh as his religious headquarter. God shall bring destruction to this city. Revelation 18:2 Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen!! At this time, it is very close to Jesus' return to earth.

By laying out His anger on these three different places at the beginning of tribulation, mid-trib and end-trib, God is telling us the day of the Lord's anger shall last for the entire 7 years tribulation, or simply put, the day of the Lord is a 7 years event. 

If people who miss my post Zephaniah 2 how long is the day of the Lord, please let me know. I can post it again.
