A careful study of Bible prophecies, especially, the prophets, Daniel and Ezekiel regarding the last days reveal that "the Lord's day" began in 1914. That was when Jesus returned invisibly, without fanfare. In that year Jehovah gave Jesus the command to "go subduing in the midst of his enemies" -Ps 110:1, 2.
Jesus begins his Kingdom rule first by throwing Satan and his demons out of heaven. "Be glad you heavens and you who reside in them"-Rev 12:12a
The heavens rejoice! They no longer have to put up with the tauntings of Satan and his supporters.
Why? "because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time." -Rev 12:12b
In veiw of this scripture, it is important to remember this fact:
The start of the rule of God's Kingdom government does not mean immediate peace and security on earth. Abundant peace on earth will come later, when God's Kingdom by Christ Jesus, takes full control of the earth at the end of the "short period of time"
Jesus, himself gave a visible composite sign, so his followers could discern his invisible presence in kingdom power. Please read: Matt 24:3-14 and Luke 21:7-11.
Compare: 2Tim 3:1-3
When we look at the world around us, can we see with our eyes of understanding, the fulfillment of Jesus prophetic words regarding the "last days?" Can you feel Satan's influence in regard to the crime, corruption, injustice, and starvation so prevalent in our world? Yes, Satan is angry, because his "time is short." Satan knows that by Jesus' faithful death and his glorious resurrection, that all his works are broken. Please read 1 John 3:8 in your own Bible.
