Some things you should know about "The Lord's Day"
The "Lord's Day" is the day Christ returns to earth as King of kings.
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Zechariah 14:9
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORD'S Revelation 19:16 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; Revelation 19:17
John was taken there - I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Revelation 1:10 Read about it for yourself - See Revelation
Christ's return ("The Lord's Day") will not take place until Satan first comes to earth claiming to be Christ
When
ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel
the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew 24:15
And
woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days! Matthew 24:19 (Them that worshiped
the spurious christ thinking he was Christ) ...
but he that shall endure unto the end, the
same shall be saved. Mark 13:13
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 Thessalonians 2:1 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thessalonians 2:2 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thessalonians 2:4
See Pamphlet , #1076, #1098, #1104, #1016
It will be a spiritual kingdom. No flesh and blood being may enter.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 1 Corinthians 15:40 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.1 Corinthians 15:44 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:46 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:50 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1 Corinthians 15:51 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52
See Pamphlet #1011, #1079,#1033
The "Lord's Day" is one day as God measures days but is really 1000 years as we measure days.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8
It will last 1000 years - "The Millennium"
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:3
All who ever lived on earth during this flesh age will be present during "This Millennium.
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52
And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Ezekiel 44:23 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. Ezekiel 44:24 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. Ezekiel 44:25
Satan will not be present until the very end.
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.Revelation 20:3
The 1st. resurrection to eternal life will take place in the beginning of the Millennium/1000years for all Christians who endure until the end
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 13:13
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
See Pamphlet #1304,
The Zadok will instruct the dead during the 1000 years teaching them the difference between what is Holy and what is profane.
But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD: Ezekiel 44:15 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Ezekiel 44:23 And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths. Ezekiel 44:24 And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves. Ezekiel 44:25
Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:6
See Pamphlet #1306, #1301, #1302,
After 1000 years Satan will be released for a short time., Rvelation 20:3
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20:3
See Pamphlet #1910
Those who follow the Lord after Satan's release will be granted eternal life at the end of the "Millennium" This is the 2nd. resurrection.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Revelation 20:11 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 20:12 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelation 20:13 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20:14 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15 All others will receive eternal life!(There can be no reason for the Millennium to take place at all except for God to seperate, with the help of those of us who were part of the 1st. resurection, the persons who will perish at the Great White Throne of Judgement from those who will receive eternal life at that time, the 2nd. resurection. - The fact that the Bible calls one the 1st. indicates there is to be a 2nd.)
See Pamphlet #1100, #1205, #1293, #1298
Those who still choose to follow Satan at that time will perish after "The Great White Throne of Judgment".
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, Revelation 20:7 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:8
"The Lord's Day" , "The Day of the Lord", "That Day". The Bible refers to "The Lord's Day" more than 200 times, many times as "That Day". I am sure their are others, but I found these "Day of the Lord" references in

Before you say, "but, many of these are prophecies about ancient Israel or Judah please consider 1 Cor. 10:11 where Paul tells us, "Now all these things happened unto them for examples, and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come."
Saying such things, for example, as:
And
the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall
be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. Isaiah 2:17
In
that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments
about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
Isaiah 3:18
In
that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong
city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Isaiah 26:1
Therefore
my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that
I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I. Isaiah 52:6
And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. Zechariah 14:9
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 4:3
Many
will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful
works? Matthew 7:22
But
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but
my Father only. Matthew 24:36
Watch
therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of
man cometh. Matthew 25:13
But
of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are
in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. Mark 13:32
In
that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house,
let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let
him likewise not return back. Luke 17:31
And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come
upon you unawares. Luke 21:34
And
this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up
at the last day. John 6:40
At
that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John 14:20
For
yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief
in the night. 1 Thessalonians 5:2
But
ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as
a thief. 1 Thessalonians 5:4
But
the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are
Let
no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there
come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; 2 Thessalonians 2:3
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:8
therein shall be burned up. 2 Peter 3:10
For
the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Revelation
6:17
For
they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the
kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle
of that great day of God Almighty. Revelation 16:14
When will "The Lord's Day" come?
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? Matthew 24:3 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Matthew 24:4 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:5 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.Matthew 24:6 For nation shall rise against (along side) nation, and kingdom against (along side) kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Matthew 24:7 All these are the beginning of sorrows. Matthew 24:8 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. Matthew 24:9 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. Matthew 24:10 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew 24:12 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Matthew 24:13
See Pamphlet #1149, #1057, #1173
Two things to consider when thinking about when "That Day" will arrive!
#1 Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. Hosea 6:1 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Hosea 6:2 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:3 (Hum! 6:2 - Two days after the crucifixion - 30 A.D. plus 2000 = 2030 A.D. and the third day - 2030 to 3030 = "The Millennium"?????)
#2 Jesus said, Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: Matthew 24:32 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matthew 24:33
So
you better learn it!!!! See Pamphlets #1031, 1752,
1753,

So
what about it? Are you going to wait until the Millennium to drink from
the water of life, or are you thirsty now?
Rev. 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. [2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. Rev. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
