The End

The Bible shows that man’s day will end on the same day

that the Day of the Lord begins, when He has promised to re-

store Israel. This time of restoration brings peace, and the gen-

eral times of refreshing ruled over by the King of kings (the

Prince of Peace). It is immediately after the end day (at that

day) that Israel’s restoration takes place (Amos 9:11).

God said that He would go back to His place until the Jews

admitted their guilt (Hos. 5:15). He later informed us by His

own mouth that He was leaving and that Israel’s house would

be desolate (Matt. 24:2). He will be away for two days, and the

third day will become the restoration day (Hos. 6:2). As we

saw, the restoration day (the Millennial Day, or Day of the

Lord) is going to be 1,000 years long, thus the other two days

(being in the same context of time) will be 2,000 years. There-

fore, the third day will begin 2,000 years after His leaving.

We determined the year directly from written prophecy.

We determined the day from typical prophecy. At Yom Kippur,

the High Priest in his linen garments shed blood and made

atonement for the people. He then reappeared from the Holy of

Holies (within the temple) dressed in his garments of glory and

beauty. He thus revealed himself, showing that his blood offer-

ing had been accepted, and that the people had been “saved.”

This typifies the day on which Jesus, the High Priest—Messiah

Ben Joseph—who was made in the likeness of sinful man (lin-

en garments), shed His own blood, and made atonement for all

believers. As Messiah, the King of Kings—Messiah Ben Da-

vid—He will soon come out of the Holy of Holies in Heaven,

fully dressed in all His glory and regal splendor.
