Oh yes!...a thief in the night....what you don't know
....is that the Day of The Lord HAS come.
When Jesus ascended to sit at the right hand of The Father, He provided the ETERNAL Spirit (John 7:39, Hebrews 9:14).
The "day" (creation DAY/episode) OF THE LORD Jesus already began long ago (the age began when we were "GIVEN" the eternal Spirit (Hebrews 9:14) of the ETERNAL COVENANT (Jesus Himself is the eternal covenant).
Eph 1:10 as a plan for the fulness of time.........(the completion and end of TIME. Jesus also began the age of eternity)....
Eze 36:26 will take out of your flesh the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh....(and now we are to no longer have a "heart of stone").
Eze 11:19 will take the stony heart out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh,
Hebrews 2:10 many sons...we are to no longer be slaves/servants, but SONS of The Father.
Heb 9:26 once for all at the end of the age to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Mar 10:30 and in the age to come eternal life.
Rom 8:29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren.
Luke 18:30 IN THIS TIME, and in the age to come eternal life."
Deu 33:27 The ETERNAL GOD is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you, and said, Destroy.
Heb 2:14 that through death he might DESTROY him who has the power of death, that is, the devil,
Heb 13:20 by the blood of the ETERNAL COVENANT,
Heb 9:14 through the ETERNAL Spirit
Rom 8:23 as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
Gal 4:5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
So, it is WE who have the first fruits of The Lord’s Spirit that are the worshipers that had ‘waited’ in the age of time and are now ADOPTED SONS of the heavenly Father (Jesus’s brothers/brethren).
Jesus is the ETERNAL SABBATH (no more "TIME" sabbath....NOW is "THE LORD'S DAY").
