Grace --> Mercy --> Peace,
No mention about 4th day, other than a
4th day still has even-ing and mourn-ing
Seems "the third day" is neither "time past" nor "last days", but "after" (beyond) two (millennial) last days, kind of like after Y2K; And such prophetic third day seems to involve an uprising, or a raising up of us, perhaps to a higher level than right on high, especially if told "be not highminded" x2, and "mind not high things" (such as the Majesty on high, old/new high priests thereof), and spiritual wickedness occurs in high places.
Eg: Hosea 6:2 talks of an uprising:
"After two days will he (?) revive us:
in the third day he will raise us up,
and we shall live in his sight".
But perhaps it is not "the last day",
Yet perhaps morphs into the last day.
Eg: Luke 13:32, when analyzed, says:
Jesus was not perfected yet,
- not when casting out devils,
- nor when doing cures 2 days;
But would be perfected the third day.
Yet when resurrected, still upbraided,
and when ascended, only to the clouds.
Eg: John 2:1 speaks of the third day,
but when counting the days mentioned,
it seems to be the seventh day
Yet perhaps there's two kinds of 7th day:
- day of the LORD is darkness, not light
- day of God is light having no darkness
So perhaps the third day is like decision time, a time for all to decide about the seventh day, whether it be a day of law (darkness having no light) or grace (light having no darkness).
For when accused of working on the Jews weekly sabbath, Jesus said: "My Father worketh hithero, and I work", as if speaking of an eternal Sabbath beyond weekly sabbaths (Grace beyond laws). For Hebrews 4:8 talks of Jesus not giving them rest, but speaking of another day; 4:9 says there remaineth a rest to the people of God; 4:10 clarifies it is a ceasing of work; 4:11 says let us labour to enter into that rest, as if a higher rest than weekly rest to refresh, as if an eternal rest, or as if a 7th day having no even-ing and mourn-ing.
For God is not the author of confusion (unrest), but of peace (rest). So perhaps all talk of decease should cease to have true peace. For grace, mercy, peace that is graceful, merciful, peaceful should have no mention of decease.
Third Day:
"And the evening and the morning were the third day." Genesis 1:13
Fourth Day:
"God said, 'There shall be lights in the heavenly sky to divide between day and night. They shall serve as omens [and define] festivals, days and years." Genesis 1:14
Fourth Day:
"God [thus] made the two large lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the smaller light to rule the night. [He also made] the stars." Genesis 1:16
Are you confused?
"It was evening and it was morning, a fourth day." Genesis 1:19
Grace to you and peace from
God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
God didn't send Sons, but only one "Son".
Two Sons Jesus doesn't qualify as "Son".
Two Sons Jesus said "Nay" to peace: Lk 12:51.
God is not author of confusion, but of peace.
You can't be reconciled to God in Jesus mode;
For Jesus mode is still "division", not peace.
Two Sons Jesus became one Son Christ,
by abolishing the law to be our peace;
For law vs grace can't co-exist in peace,
and there's no peace in law worketh wrath.
Hence "peace" is "through Jesus-->Christ";
And reconciliation to God done in "Christ",
as noted in 2Cor 3:4 & again in 2Cor 5:19.
For when reconciled, peace can't be removed.
So then, if "Christ" is removed from the end,
it's as if removing peace and reconciliation.
That's why I use KJV, doesn't remove Christ:
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen".
