What is the perfect day?
· The perfect day is a day of joy.
· A day of fulfilled expectations.
· A day when it all comes together.
· The day of glorious fulfillment.
· When your desires and Gods desires and expectations for you come together and become one.
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. (Philippians 1:6 NLT)
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. (NASB)
According to John 17:21, Jesus's desire is that we are one with Him even as He is one with the Father. 21that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
There is the perfect day on the earthly plane and the perfect day on the heavenly or spiritual plane.
On the earthly plane, it has to do with results, accomplishments, earthly struggles and desires. The perfect day in this case is the day on which the accomplishment or blessing is received or the day it is fulfilled.
For example, the day a person gets married to the perfect will of God for his or her life in marriage. You may hear things like, that is going to be the best day of my life. That was the best day of my life so far. Everything went on perfectly. It was so glorious. Everything fell in place. It could also relate to academics, business, career, health, finances etc.
On the other hand, on the spiritual or heavenly plane, the perfect day, is the day of Christ. The day of glorification. The day when earthly suffering ends and heavenly joy begins. The day of rapture when believers are taken from the filth of this earth is a perfect day (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). The day of Christ's second coming is a perfect day.
13 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.
15 We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words.
The day of judgement of unbelievers is a perfect day.
Isaiah 1:28 - The destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together, And those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
2 Thessalonians 1:7-:9 - and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in blazing fire. He will inflict vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might,
However, the perfect day is a joyful and glorious day of celebration and rejoicing for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and who abide in Him till the end. For those who have not accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior, the perfect day is a day of perfect woe for them, a day of perfect punishment, a day of overwhelming punishment, dismay, disgrace, toil, pain and anguish. The wicked - unbelievers and unrighteous - will be destroyed by the brightness of the coming of Jesus.
2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 – 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
MacLaren's exposition
We are to think of the strong Eastern sun, whose blinding light steadily increases till the noontide. ‘The perfect day’ is a somewhat unfortunate translation. What is meant is the point of time at which the day culminates, and for a moment, the sun seems to stand steady, up in those southern lands, in the very zenith, raying down ‘the arrows that fly by noonday.’
Gill's Exposition
Gill's Exposition of the bible Light into the Gospel, and the doctrines of it, increases yet more and more; whereby a soul walks pleasantly, comfortably, and safely, in right path, "until the perfect day" of glory comes, a day without clouds; when there will be nothing to interpose between God and them; when there will be no more clouds of darkness, unbelief, doubts, and fears; when the sun will always be seen, no more withdrawn, eclipsed, or set; even Christ, the sun of righteousness, whose glory will always be beheld by the righteous to all eternity: when there will be no more night of affliction, desertion, and death; when the light of knowledge will be clear and perfect, and saints shall see face to face, and know as they are known; and when not only the light of the righteous shall be so clear, distinct, and perfect, but they themselves shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of God. The words may be rendered, "the prepared day"
Then shall the righteous blaze forth in the kingdom of their father, countenance like the sun shining in his strength. Because as he is so are we in this world. Keep the heart with all diligence for out of it proceeds the issues of life
Do you want to keep shining on till the perfect day?
Hold onto God onto the end: Hebrews 3:6 - But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Also abide in Him. John 15:4-5 – 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
Study and Memorize Scripture - Joshua 1:8 - This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Make amends based on corrections from the word of God and the Holy Spirit - James 1: 22 Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. 23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, 24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so— not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer— he will be blessed in what he does.
Watch and Pray without ceasing: Luke 21: 34 But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life— and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a snare. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 So keep watch at all times, and pray that you may have the strength to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man.
Abide in righteousness onto the end because it is only the righteous that will shine. Matthew 13:43 - Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father's kingdom. Anyone who has ears should listen!
Let the light of God, represented by the Holy Spirit shine through you. Matthew 5:14 - “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
May you shine till the end in Jesus name.
Father, let your children shine both on earth till you come and in your kingdom in Jesus mighty name.
Note that there is no night there – it is always day in the kingdom of God. Revelation 22:5 - And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
May you see and be a partaker of that perfect day. A never-ending day in Jesus mighty name.
