Yom YHWH

Wow, I've sure enjoyed exploring "The Day of the Lord" with our BC2AD participants. Here's the final definition we came up with in class:

Yom YHWH: The epoch of the Lord's exaltation, when God makes visible His rule of righteousness with His saints and restores (1) His intimacy with man, (2) man's dominion, (3) the [purity] of the heavens and the earth, and (4) Israel's ministry of blessing the nations.

We discovered that Yom YHWH will be preceded by The Age of the Spirit (Joel 2.28-29), and immediately signaled by the sign of the darkening of the sun and moon (Joel 2.31).
