The Day of the LORD <-- The Last Day Shewdown  --> The Day of God

The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light Darkness vs Light The day of God is light void of darkness
Amos 5:18  Darkness(Law) and not light(grace) <--vs--> Light(Grace) and no darkness(law) at all  1John 1:5

His angel plays the last trump it

The last day: The third day: Seventh day ?

It's not time past (<--BC), nor last days (0-2000AD) of Hebrews 1;
Not GOD spake/spoke to them/us by prophets/Son. It's the last day

The Last Day shewdown: Darkness(Law) -vs- Light(Grace):
The day of the LORD (Amos 5) vs The day of God (1John 1)
Prophecy: Awful Lawful Destruction -vs- Merciful Grace: Prophesy


Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD: Amos 5: 18-22
The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light: law, not grace.
  A day of LAW comes as a thief in the night to steal, kill, and destroy.
Grace (not law) unto youand peace (not confusion),
from God our (merciful) Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
.
God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace.

The "last day" is NOT "time past" NOR "last days"

Of two last days compared in 2Peter 3 "the last day" is one:
"The Day of the Lord": Darkness vs Light: "The Day of God"

2Peter 3 allegorically compares two last days as if comparing two Sabbaths
as contrary things: Darkness(Law) vs Light(Grace) cannot co-exist in peace.

Converted Peter: Clarifies which is witch, of twain days;
  And Peter exhorts us to look for and hasten unto the day of God,
as if saying think from the end already written in Pauline Epistles.


The Day of the LORD? the LORD??

Many are the descriptive allegoric biblical phrases for the day of the LORD, such as a "terrible" day of "wrath", "destruction", "vengeance", "fierce anger", "darkness" (blackness) not light ("understanding" = "grace glory"), etc; Not to mention cloudy, heathen, indecisive. Since the "law worketh wrath": Romans 4:15 and "God hath not appointed us unto wrath": 1Thessalonians 5:9; When connecting the biblical dots to get it: understanding, it should enlighten us all as to what sort of day "the day of the LORD" is: a day of vengeful unjust unfair shadow-y Horeb-bull Law... Awful Lawful: Deadly... to the point of non-existence.

Salvation (Grace: Light) -vs- Extinction (Law: Darkness)
The choice is non-violence
(grace) or non-existence (law): Gandhi
No ordinance or law is mightier than understanding(grace): Plato
With all thy getting, get it: understanding(grace glory): Solomon

Get understanding to the point of having no misunderstanding(no schism) in the body.


That Day: The Day of God?  That God?

The Light of "that God is light" has no darkness at all!
The Grace of "the God of all grace"(has no law at all)!


The day of God: the light(truth) of Grace

On the contrary ""the day of God" is a grace us merciful day for all since "there is no respect of persons with God". Hence, of two last days compared by converted Peter, the day of God is so exceedingly much more glory us the other glory of the other day mentioned fades to nothing in comparison... as the glory of moon and stars fade to nothing ("vanish") at the coming of the sun of righteousness (the light of grace)... which things are an "allegory": Galatians 4.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy: Jonah

Many, deceived by many, seem to ass u me the day of the LORD is the millennial reign of Christ, when it's clearly associated with Son of man, not the Son of God, and it's clearly exhorted not to be ignorant a 1,000 yrs [is] as one day. The Son of man is associated with ye do err, not with you made perfect. It's also associated with clouds of confusion rather than with sunny clarity, not to mention "great" glory instead of "greater" glory of great/greater glorys.

Amos 5:18-20
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD
!
The day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.


The day of the Lord is like a kingdom "not come", rather than a kingdom "come", when comparing the two mountainsHebrews 12. The first of sevenfold twain is notably fire-y, darkness, blackness (in the midst), tempest, the sound of a trumpet, and voice of words. Perhaps such are clues the day of the LORD is not Godly, for "that God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all", which is declared unto you from the beginning. Hence the trumpeting "words" thereof are law, which Solomon says is "all vanity and vexation of spirit", not to mention law is "both good and evil", and good + evil ends bad, as bad as life and death is a dead end, not the new and living way.

Either make the tree and it's fruit good (grace) or corrupt (evil: law): Jesus Christ

Lord of Lords? It allegorically denotes one Lord of two Lords is winner take all. The Lord of a "terrible" day is allegorically law, the thief which "cometh not", but [if it did, as portrayed in the biblical shew it would be] to steal and kill and destroy; not to mention such a "thief" comes in the "night"(ignorance). The Lord of the day (light, enlightenment) of God (is light) is allegorically grace "in which things are an allegory". Like it or not, that (Jesus Christ) is come, as winner take all. For there is no option in "ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free", but there is a notable chanGe, from "ye" to "you".

The law (and perhaps it's the lie) was given by Moses,
But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ: John 1:17


The day of the LORD, pictured in 1Thessalonians 5:3, is associated with "them" folk, "they" sayers who say Peace & Safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon "them". Obviously such is wrath, for just a few verses farther on it mentions the "us" part of such a them/us scenario, noting God hath not appointed us to wrath. Obviously then, Peace & Safety is allegoric for Grace + Law, them thinking there is safety in law, witch worketh wrath upon them, for their "vain words". For "them" there is "no escape" (1Thessalonians 5:3). But for "us" to whom God hath given the victory through Jesus Christ: the end of the law, there is "escape" (Hebrews 2:3) if we give "more earnest heed" to what's been said: no law = no sin = no death = last trump it:

The last trump: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen: Paul The Apostle

There is no "them" in "us-ward" which the Lord is long-suffering unto, nor any "ye" in "you all" his grace is "with" (not against), so it seems pretty obvious them folk all have to convert to us, in order to have the "escape", which includes all. For "God our Saviour" will have all men saved, and also aware what(?) they're saved from, by "the God of all grace" making a perfect "you" out of an imperfect "ye", by "take away" what got "added" to "grace is sufficient". Such 'elementary' (Grace + Law) - Law = Grace and (Life + Death) - Death = Life is allegorically called the "operation" of God (removes the law and thereby removes the ministration of death), so "the last day" (the day of God) is only grace us, mercy full, peace full; Not awful lawful.
