Chart of Revelation
Herb,
Your quote from #96:
_____________________________________________________________
"So, how is the Day of the Lord coming as a thief in the night a surprise to anyone, when the moon and star thing takes place? How is the “they say peace and safety” of 1 Thess. 5:2, 3 consistent with the moon and stars thing? Does anyone escape the moon and the stars thing before your rapture? How? If the moon and stars thing takes place after His coming, what is the Great and terrible Day of the Lord? One , Two, or Three?"

The Signs of the Day of the Lord, in the sun, moon and stars, precede
only the EVENTS of that Day. These signs occur at noon of the single
day of the Lord. Amos 8:9. How is it that these signs come "as a thief"?
The word of the Lord, given in the very context of armies gathered to the
plains of Armageddon, states that this is when He is coming "as a thief"!
Rev.16:14-16. The signs come as a thief because these armies, having killed a third of mankind and crossing the Euphrates as the Beast claims the power to have dried up the River and people are celebrating the deaths of their enemies, the Two Prophets!! ALL this is a perfect setting for the wicked to think they are "safe and secure" ... at the start of the
12-Hour Day of the Lord!!!
At another word of the Lord, these signs come "suddenly, as a snare",
on the very DAY He appears and they cause men to "faint from fear"!
Luke 21:25-35. That peace will be shattered, not only by the Signs at Noon; but by the sudden rising up of the Two Prophets to heaven in the "same hour as the great quake" (during a half part of the Last Day) of Seal 6 and the killing of 7000 of the Beast's elite guard by that quake!!
I am amazed that you can't see the picture!!!
You are off base in asking if these SIGNS occur "after Christ comes"!
You need to read the text more carefully before making comments!!
Your questions arise out of the false concept that the "peace and
safety" refers to the peace shattered at Midpoint of Daniel's 70th 7!!!
I will send you a Post shortly showing what happens on the Single
12-Hour Day of the Lord.
