THAT DAY. 65
It is "the day of an age" as the Holy Spirit designates
" "
it in 2 Pet. 3:18. See the Greek yfj.cpav aioivos
(heemeran aionos). In harmony with this we find that
the same word (heemera day) signifies "a long
rj^epa
period," in John 8:56} 9:4; Rom. 10:21; 2 Cor. 6:2; Heb.
4:7-8.
"
"That Day
is the key to the book of Isaiah and many of the other
prophets. Note how frequently it occurs. Isa. 2:11; 3:7,
18; 4:1, 2; 5:30; 7:18, 20, 21, 23; 10:27, etc.; Jer. 25:33;
Ezek. 38:14, 16; 39:11; 48:35; Joel 3:18; Amos 9:11;
Mieah 4:6; 7:11, 12; Zeph. 3:11, 16; Hag. 2:23; Zech.
9:16; 12:3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11; 13:1, 2, 4; 14:6, 8, 13, 21;
Mai. 3:17; Mat. 7:22; 24:36; Mark 13:32; Lu. 21:34.
See how plainly it is identified with the Day of the
Lord. Compare Isa. 2:12 with 20. "For the day of the
Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud 'and
lofty. .... In that day a man shall cast his idols
to the moles and bats." Also Zeph. 1:14, 15.
"The great day of the Lord is near . . . that day is a
day of wrath."
See the same in Zech. 14 :l-4.
In Hosea 6:2 we read "After two days will He revive
as; in the third day He will raise us up." These are evi-
dently three days of one thousand years each, for "one
day is with the Lord as a thousand years." So "that day"
is doubtless the last thousand year day of God's great
week of aions (ages). See page 218.

Again it is objected that, while there will be a great dif-
ference in the character of the resurrection of the just and
of the unjust, yet they must be simultaneous in time, for

set his band again the second Gush, and from Elam, and from
time to recover the remnant of Shinar, and from Hamath, and
his people, which shall be left from the Islands of the sea.
