Splitting the Day of the Lord

The book explores the prophetic expectations of ancient Israel regarding a transformative act from God, which included judgment, the formation of a devoted remnant, and the arrival of a messianic age. It highlights how Jesus’ disciples linked these prophecies to his redemptive work, while also addressing the skepticism surrounding the fulfillment of these promises in light of ongoing evils and conflicts. A key distinction is made in how Jesus reinterpreted the Day of the Lord into two divine acts, setting Christianity apart from its Jewish and Islamic roots.
