DAY OF THE LORD

“Blow a trumpet in Zion; sound an alarm on my holy mountain!  Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of the Lord is coming; it is near,” (Joel 2:1 ESV).

“And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.  The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.  And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved….as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD calls” (Joel 2:30-32 ESV).

“…the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!  But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells” (2 Pet 3:12-13 ESV).

“…the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble.  The day that is coming shall set them ablaze…so that it will leave them neither root nor branch” (Mal 4:1 ESV).

“Behold, he [JESUS] is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him.  Even so.  Amen.  ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Rev 1:7-8 ESV, brackets mine).

“(‘Behold, I am coming like a thief!  Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!’)” (Rev 16:15 ESV).

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.  I, Jesus,…testify to you about these things…” (Rev 22:12-13, 16 ESV).
