DAY (THAT).— It was near the close of His ministry that the Lord began to speak especially of the Last Things. At an early stage ■we find a reference to 'that day' (Mt 7~). The hypocrites will plead in vain, in /hat day, how they had pro- fessed Christ. The day is the Day of Judgment, the day of the sealing of citizensliip in the King- dom of heaven. There is also a reference to ' that day ' in the Commission to the Apostles. It will be more tolerable for Sodom in that day than for a city that will not receive them (Lk 10'=). Here tlie parallel denunciation in the First Gospel gives 'in the day of judgment' (Mt 10'=). Thus 'that day ' is a plirase to denote the terrible day which is ever imminent, the day of Christ's coming to judge the world and inaugurate His universal reign. But among His last words the Lord in- cluded warnings of the fate of Jerusalem as well as of the doom of the world. These messages about the end of the city and the end of the world are intertwined in the Synoptic records of the close of His ministry. Reasonable care should not fail to disentangle the threads. The expression 'in that day' is used, for insta.nce, to refer quite plainly to the fall of Jerusalem (Lk 17^' ; in Mk. and Mt. 'those days'). But then the phrase has its usual significant euphemistic use for the day of Christ's coming in judgment in all three Gospels where they recount the Lord's solemn warnings to be ready (Mt 24=«, Mk 13^"-, Lk 21**). 'That day' is in the foreknowledge of God alone ; it will come on the whole world as a snare to the unready. It may be immediate in its comiii<; (Lk 12*"), and it ^^•il\ be quick as lightning when it does come (Mt 24-''). Evidently ' that day ' is an epoch ; not an era, but the beginning of one era and the end of another. 'That day' of the revelation of the Son

St. John's refenncrs (<i -that day ' are to an era, however, rather than to an epoch (Jn 14=" 16==- ="_). ' In that day ' the disciples shall recognize their Lord's Divinity, and pray to the Father in His name. In the Fourth Gospel, therefore, the phrase describes the era which had its beginning at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was bestowed so fully upon the Church.
