But persecution is not the Day of the Lord.
The Day of the Lord is the day of vengeance
from God.

People sin in today's world. They murder,
rape, and steal and all the things reported
on the news. They are not judged instantly
because of the Church. It is in the world. It
is the 'Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ.'

It is the protecter against the wrath of God.
He isn't pouring out His wrath because it
is the beloved; so the wrath of God is being
stored up.
