The Beautiful day of the Lord
March 19, 2007
Joel Akin
We are in the day which precedes the day of the Lord. It is this day which is God and God related. Now if a day is God that doesn't make
any sense. But let me try to explain.
Lets say that God is like time and time is like a day. Now the day of God is like God because God holds it. And God sees it and God knows
it. God takes the day and makes it his own. And that means God owns the day.
Now if God owns the day and he does then how can the day be God? To answer that requires a moment so let me state I'm not trying to create
time nor am I trying to make life or light of the day. I am trying to share what God shares. And if it starts off with a mystery and ends with a clear answer then you know it has to be of God.
Now suppose God was life. Suppose God owned life and it was of life. Now if God owns life and it is of life how then can life grow and
multiply? The answer is God allows the seed of life. The seed of life is like the tree of life. And the tree of life is for the healing of the nations. And the nations are of the healing of life.
So if life is meant for healing and God is of life then God is life.
Now if the day which comes is life and God is life and the day is Gods. Then how can God be the day?
To answer that means we have to change our way of thinking. And that means we have to change the day. For all days and seasons are to be
changed from glory to glory and mortality to immortality. So if life is of God, and it is, then the day of the Lord is as the day of the Lord. And the day of the Lord is of God then God is of the day.
Now if I say that and you feel possessive of the day it speaks of life but it also speaks of knowledge. Possessive means that you see
yourself as life. And if you are part of life you must return to it. Or to the grave if you refuse to part with it.
Now parting with life means letting go. And letting go of life is like a building flying up and up and up and up without holding on and
that isn't easy to explain. So it is of life and it is of hope and it is of God.
Now the life of a day is of life. Life is of God and God wants us to understand. He wants us to see and he wants us to know. To know is to
understand and we are of life. And if we are of God and made in his image so can the day be made in his image. And if we looked at the day and said "It is God" and God made the day they would see the day as God.
Now that makes sense and it is the sense of this story. That the day of the Lord is the God of the day. And God is day and light and hope
and joy. And he is coming.
The coming of that day is the day of God. God is coming and bringing with him all the saints. Not just ten thousand. We think there are
only ten thousand but there are millions of billions. That is the number of those who want to come to earth and be part of what is coming.
And they are ready to help and to concur with anyone who has authority with God. And they are there to help and to encourage.
Now how does authority work? That is a good question. For if I have authority and my father has authority what if my authority is greater
then his? When do I submit to his authority? The answer is in personal matters. If I am dealing with heads of state they can state ideas but those ideas are meant to be ideas and if they are good they will be made
apparent.
However if a family is struggling with life and with trouble then those things are of the Lord to handle. And that is the equation of life.
Because if one man submits authority then that man must defend his actions to God. And God will hold him up especially if he is not used to authority.
The answer may not be apparent but authority is the key to life and the key to hope. It is the key to things seen and things not seen. In a
way authority is difficult but when one is in hands of the Lord there are those who are called to oversee. For if a man cannot accept the handle of the Lord then those who are called to be in authority must tread
with kid gloves. And that means a man must submit to those who try to take it by force. It doesn't mean one can't fight but remember God isn't God if he allows men to steal what is His.
So in this we need to see the day of God as the day of judgment for those who want it and those who take it. The day is the Lords and those
who argue are those who want it to be otherwise. They are those who want it for their sake and it isn't the Lord who steals. It is the Lord who grants. And the Lord knows those who are His. And those who belong to
Him. And it is Gods desire that life follow life.
So in the day of God the God we love will be the day. And that will be the day God strove with sin and took the name out of the picture.
For sin will no longer be of day and the night will no longer be of lie. And those who are of men will submit and they will be granted reprieve to live. And if they can follow a path to righteous living they will be
granted life.
But what of thieves and murderers? They will be judged. Some judgments are of prison. Not all deserve hell. A man who is hungry is a thief
if he takes what isn't his. So is a man who is rich by others. So is a murderer who kills for pleasure. So are those who kill for profit. So are those who rape and steal and murder. They are those who must be judged.
This day is coming and it is coming within a year of this writing. And it must come for there to be a day of grace. For the day of grace is
meant for those who are of God. They are those who are to be vindicated. And it means they are to live with things on earth. And have power over things. For men will seek out those who have power of God. Power of
God is power of men. Power of men is power for those who are of men but they will want power so they can trace it back to the father. And if a man is honored they will seek his line. And if his line happens to be of
men they will be happy. For such a man may find his line is so traced with people that no one will be unrelated. And if that seems impossible then watch. For like God He sets up a man to be traced to all people. And
all people means all people. And everyone will see him as a father. Or an uncle. Or a cousin. Or a person of measure. And those who know him as a failure will see him as a treasure. And those who fell from grace in
his books will be dealt with according to their sin. For he would point to them in a line and say they are guilty. And he must for there are some that he cannot see who are not of life. But of death.
And so if the above is really strange then remember it. God does strange things. And he opens strange doors. And he makes ways where there
is no way. He would just say stick to the program. And if the schedule changes ask God for help.
