The single verse that is often cited for support for viewing the day of the Lord as a twenty-four hour day interpretation is: “But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light” (Zech. […]

I had technical difficulties at the beginning, but fixed it at 6:38.
The Significance of the Golden Censer Within the Prewrath Framework
[Editor’s Note: This is a guest article by Caleb Hines] One of many things to appreciate about the prewrath position is that it explains the symbolism of the seven seals by viewing them as prerequisite events to the Day of the Lord.

The Message of the Seven Seals IN FIVE SENTENCES
The first four seals prove the guilty for God’s wrath (Rev 6:1–8). The fifth seal promises God’s wrath (Rev 6:9–11). The sixth seal portends God’s wrath (Rev 6:12–17). The saints are protected from God’s wrath (Rev 7). The seventh seal pronounces God’s wrath (Rev 8–9; 15–16).
