This book deals primarily with the last days in which we live before the great tribulation. We have mixed in some personal interest by relating the experiences of a fictional character named Vladimir, who lived in those times. The next great event for the world is the wine cup of fury that springs like a snare and reaps devastation to the far ends of the earth. This is the fifth day of the eight days of the Lord. It is also imminent, as the catching away (rapture). The catching away might precede, be at nearly the same time, or follow this day of vengeance against Israel's enemies. If the fifth day of the Lord comes first, there is no clue as to how long it would be before the "rapture." Eight days of God are distinguished in the Old and New Testaments, each in their historic and prophetic contexts. The definite article is found in the Hebrew and Greek attached to the day when it refers the Armageddon. The presence or absence of the definite articles cannot be observed in most translations. But the translations are not a primary source. This study is unique in that it deals with the primary source of meaning. Another example of using the primary source to get the meaning is in II Thes.2:6,7 where neuter and masculine words are seen to agree with the gender of the pronouns. The result places the catching away some years before the tribulation, allowing time for the building of the temple, the maturing of the world bank and other precursors to the beast's nefarious reign. The fifth day of the Lord is involved with Gog's descent on Israel. The circumstance concomitant to this campaign and the events that follow rule out any possibility that it could occur during the great tribulation. For one thing, it occurs in a time of rest and safety for Israel.

THE BIBLE IS THE AUTHORITY FOR CHRISTIAN FAITH AND PRACTICE. A wrong method used to get meaning from that Bible CAN HAVE DRASTIC CONSEQUENCES. An approach that would get meanings from pagan papyri, allow multiple meanings for its words, and used an inconsistent grammar structure -- this would make God's message ambiguous. Men would pick out the meaning to suit their idea of a context. Actually that is what has happened, and Christendom is hopelessly divided. How we approach the Bible for its meaning is of prime importance. We need to be exercised in this field of learning called hermeneutics. Let us compare two ways of interpreting the Scriptures: The Singular-meaning Hermeneutic: 1. It sees the Bible as supernatural. It is Holy Spirit Greek instead of common Koine. 2. It posits God as unambiguous in His communication. 3. It compares spiritual things with spiritual, considering that the Bible is its own best commentary. 4. It arrives at objective interpretations of Bible teachings. 5. It assumes that the Bible itself supplies the necessary historical and cultural settings to understand a passage. 6. It represents the highest view of God, accrediting his Word with the qualities of holiness, certainty and justness, so that he is blameless in his judgments. Traditional Western Church Hermeneutic: 1. It sees the Bible as reflecting more of the natural characteristics of the human author and written in common Koine Greek. 2. It teaches that God uses words with multiple meanings. 3. It compares spiritual things with pagan papyrus. 4. It allows subjective interpretations suitable to premil., postmil., Calvinistic, Reformed, even Catholic etc. 5. It depends on the understanding of extra-Biblical historical and cultural settings to understand a passage. 6. It represents God as being somewhat vague in some of his instructions; hence he cannot judge fairly.
