Preparing for the Day of The Lord (1984?)

1 Thess. 5:1,2 - The brethren have no need to be further instructed as to the presence of Christ because we know perfectly of the Times and Seasons. We know because we have been instructed by the Lord through the agency of His choosing. - Rev. 1:1,10

2 Pet. 3:10
Rev. 1:10 - On the Lord's day (1874 onward.) John heard a voice behind him - The Lord's voice, "as of a trumpet," so the Lord identified His Voice with the sounding of a trumpet -- The Jubilee Trumpet.
Matt. 24:3 - Sign of presence and consumation of age
Matt. 24:6 - Wars, etc.
Matt. 24:21 - Great Tribulation which shall never be again. - Jesus identified himself with Michael because he quoted his words (Dan. 12:1,2)

2 Pet. 1:16-19 - Referring to vision on mount of Kingdom - Moses, Elijah, Jesus. -- Prefaced by vs 12
Matt. 17:1 - And after six days -- i.e., after six one-thousand year days.

Phil. 1:3-11 -- Note especially vs. 1:9 in Wymouth this reads: "And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ." -- Note: "Clear knowledge" "keen perception" and "testing things that differ."
