The Unveiled Light of YHWH: It is the “Day” of the Day of the LORD

Why does it not strike everyone that the day in the Day of YHWH refers to light, as in daylight? And God said, “Let there be light,” and light became . . . the first DAY. Not a day as in twenty-four hours, but day as in the light of day. Shining. Brightness. Makes it so that you can see.

The Day of YHWH is the brightness of HIM WITH WHOM WE HAVE TO DO. Seeing that day, the beauty expected of us, makes us feel terribly disappointed in ourselves. Apocalyptic language takes this to its extreme—war, gloom, fear, remorse. This day may appear at any time to a—let me repeat—a person. It is not a day of time as in calendar; it is day—light—for VISION, the glorious magnificence we are from and are supposed to be.

If you are waiting for some twenty-four hour period to arrive, you are missing the whole point.
