Sean, look at the 4th verse, SINCE THE FATHERS FELL ASLEEP. Sean that is speaking of the patriarchs who were looking for the first coming of Messiah.
Also how many day of the Lord are found in the Bible? Day of the Lord to Judeans and Israelis meant judgement, and they all believed that is why Messiah would come in the first place. They weren't expecting a carpenter on a donkey, but a conqueror to destroy the Gentiles.
