I believe Scripture shows that
"the Day of the Lord" ARRIVES at SEAL #1 which IS the INITIAL "birth PANG [SINGULAR]" that Jesus spoke of (i.e. Matt24:4 / Mk13:5--the VERY FIRST ONE!)... and that "the DOTL" commences with "WRATH" (that which we are promised not to be here for)... The text in 1Th1:10 just says, "[the
One delivering us out-from]
THE WRATH COMING" (it
doesn't specify
"Satan's wrath" [only] which starts at MID-trib when 3.5 yrs are yet remaining till Christ's Second Coming to the earth Rev19).
I've pointed out in the past that Ezek38 (
which I believe is a PART of the 2nd Seal "WARS"--compare the wording!) has "WRATH" words (God's),
in vv.18-19 -
18Now on [/in] that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord GOD,
My wrath will flare up.
19In My zeal
and fiery rage I proclaim that on that day there will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the field, every creature that crawls upon the ground, and all mankind on the face of the earth will tremble at My presence. The mountains will be thrown down, the cliffs will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.
21And I will summon
a sword against Gog on all My mountains, declares the Lord GOD,
and every man’s sword will be against his brother. [see Rev6:4b,c--That is EARLY ON in the trib!!]
I've also pointed out how 39:7's "So WILL *I* MAKE My holy name KNOWN in the midst of MY PEOPLE ISRAEL" is similar language to that which took place when it says in Genesis 45:1, "And there STOOD NO MAN WITH HIM, while Joseph MADE HIMSELF KNOWN unto HIS BRETHREN" (when there were YET FIVE YEARS REMAINING of the "7 year famine" - v.6)
[many more correlations could be mentioned... Not to mention, that Matt24:9 ("tribulation") also occurs IN THE FIRST HALF (prior to the AOD MID-point)]
