The studies on the our last two Monday night have had a lot to do with the time period the bible refers to as “The Day of the Lord.” While reading in Dwight Pentecost’s book Things to Come I found this list of the events that seem to happen in this period based on bible prophecy. If you want to look further into these things, here’s some detail and references for you to look it up and do your own reading.
It will be evident that the events within the Day of the Lord are indeed momentous, and a study of this period must include a study of a great part of the prophetic Scriptures. It will include the prophesied events of the tribulation period, such as:
• The federation of states into a Roman Empire (Daniel 2 & 7)
• The rise of the political ruler of this empire, who makes a covenant with Israel (Daniel 9:27; Revelation 13:1-10)
• The formation of the false religious system under the false prophet (Revelation 13:11-18)
• The pouring out of the judgments under the seals (Revelation 13:11-18)
• The separation of the 144,000 witnesses (Revelation 7)
• The trumpet judgments (Revelation 8-11)
• The rise of God’s witness (Revelation 11)
• The persecution of Israel (Revelation 12)

• The regathering of Israel (Ezekiel 37:1-14)
• The judgment on living Israel (Ezekiel 20:33-38)
