In this day every man's work.(and idle words).will be 'manifest' or as the original has it 'brought to the light':.Matthew 20:1-16 "For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace and said unto them, Go you also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they came to help too. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle and said unto them, Why stand you here all the day idle?.(they obviously were so down on themselves that they couldn't even bring themselves to go and ask if there was some work needing to be done).They say unto him, Because no man has hired us. He said unto them, Go you also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right, that shall you receive. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard said unto his steward, Call the labourers and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more and they likewise received every man a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour and you have made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do you no wrong. Did not you agree with me for a penny? Take that is yours and go your way. I will give unto this last, even as unto you. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is your eye evil, because I am good? So the last shall be first and the first last. For many be called, but few chosen." 

Matthew 21:28-31 "But what think you?.(who is the 'you' being talked about here?).A certain man had two sons. And he came to the first and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. He answered and said, I will not, but afterward he repented.(changed his mind).and went. And he came to the second and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir and went not. Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Emmanuel said to them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you."

2Timothy 4:8 "Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Most will be unaware of this day coming:.Matthew 24:38,50 "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe.(Noah).entered into the ark...The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him and in an hour that he is not aware of.".Be alert to His coming and be ready:.Matthew 25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes."

Many Christians look forward to the day of the Lord. They probably mean it as the time when the Creator sets up His Kingdom on Earth:.Zechariah 14:9 "And the Lord shall be king over all the Earth. In that day shall there be one Lord and his name one."

The real 'day of the Lord' is not a happy day:.Amos 5:18 "Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! To what end is it for you? The day of the Lord is darkness and not light." Zephaniah 1:15 "That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness."

This was a sad day, but:.Psalms 30:5 "For his anger endures but a moment. In his favour is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." Lamentations 3:22,23 "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness." Jude 1:6

Creator has a plan to turn the unrighteous to being righteous. The plan was completed with the death, burial and resurrection of Emmanuel:.John 19:30.

And, God knows how to save even the severely wicked.

Christ is the light and the fire:.Malachi 3:2,3 "But who may abide the day of his coming?.(as we are all unrighteous of and by ourselves).And who shall stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver. And he shall purify the sons of Levi.(religious leaders).and purge them as gold and silver that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness."

It is saying that He.(Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship.....").will make them righteous by His grace and mercy; that is, once they see the need for it.

Malachi 3:17 "And they shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels. And I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serves him." Revelation 15:4 "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord and glorify thy name? For you only are holy. For all nations come and worship before you.(when and because).your judgments are made manifest."

A more accurate translation would be."Who shall not fear thee, O Lord and glorify thy name?"

Also showing the Creator's thinking:.Isaiah 2:11,12 "The lofty looks of man shall be humbled and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down and the Lord alone is exalted in that day. For the day of the Lord of hosts is upon every one that is proud and lofty and upon every one that is lifted up and he is  brought low."
