Isaiah 2:11; Zechariah 14:9). • Scripture treats future prophetic “days” as certain events God will fulfill literally, just as earlier prophecies of Christ’s first coming were fulfilled (Luke 24:44). • Revelation 11:15 describes a similar climactic moment: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ.” God’s timetable is always sure.
