The Day Of The Lord

Isa 2:10-12 "Enter into the rock, and hide in the
   dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
The *lofty (proud) looks of man shall be
   humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed
   down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted in
   that day.

For the day of the Lord of hosts
Shall come upon everything proud and
   lofty,
Upon everything lifted up -
And it shall be brought low -"
Isa. 2:17-21 "The loftiness of man shall be bowed
   down,
And the haughtiness of men shall be
   brought low;
The Lord alone will be exalted in that
   day,
But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

They shall go into the holes of the
   rocks,
And into the caves of the earth,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth
   mightily.
See (Sketch Gallery - page 19)
In that day a man will cast away his
idols of silver
And his idols of gold,
Which they made, each for himself to
   worship,
To the moles and bats,
To go into the clefts of the rocks,
And into the crags of the rugged rocks,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty,
When He arises to shake the earth
   mightily."
Isa. 13:9-13 "Behold, the day of the Lord comes,
Cruel, with both wrath and fierce anger,
To lay the land desolate;
And He will destroy its sinners from it.
For the stars of heaven and their
   constellations
Will not give their light;
The sun will be darkened in its going
   forth,
And the moon will not cause its light to
   shine.

I will punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the
   *terrible. (Or tyrants)
I will make a mortal more rare than
   fine gold,
A man more than the golden wedge of
   Ophir.
Therefore I will shake the heavens,
And the earth will move out of her
   place,
In the wrath of the Lrod of hosts
And in the day of His fierce anger."
Amos 5:18-20 Woe to you who desire the day of the
   Lord!
For what good is the day of the Lord
   to you?
It will be darkness, and not light.
It will be as though a man fled from a
   lion,
And a bear met him;
Or as though he went into the house,
Leaned his hand on the wall,
And a serpent bit him.
Is not the day of the Lord darkness
   and not light?
Is it not very dark, with not brightness
   in it?"
Zech. 14:1-9 "Behold, the day of the Lord is coming,
And your *spoil (plunder or booty) will be
   divided in your midst.
For I will gather all the nations to
   battle against Jerusalem;
The city shall be taken,
The houses *rifled, (plundered)
And the women ravished.
Half of the city shall go into captivity,
But the remnant of the people shall not
   be cut off from the city.
Then the Lord will go forth
And fight against those nations,
As He fights in the day of battle.
And in that day His feet will stand on
   the Mount of Olives,
Which faces Jerusalem on the east.
And the Mount of Olives shall be split
   in two,
From east to west,
Making a very large valley;
Half of the mountain shall move toward
   the north
And half of it toward the south.
Then you shall flee through My
   mountain valley,
For the mountain valley shall reach to
   Azal.
Yes, you shall flee
As you fled from the earthquake
In the days of Uzziah king of Judah.
Thus the Lord my God will come,
And all the saints with You.
It shall come to pass in that day
That there will be no light;
The *lights (Lit. glorious ones) will diminish.
It shall be one day
Which is known to the Lord -
Neither day nor night.
But at evening time it shall happen
That it will be light.
And in that day it shall be
That living waters shall flow from
   Jerusalem,
Half of them toward *the eastern sea (Dead Sea)
And half of them toward *the western
   sea; (Mediterranean Sea)
In both summer and winter it shall
   occur.
And the Lord shall be King over all
   the earth.
In that day it shall be -
'The Lord is one,'
And His name is one."
Matt. 7:21-27

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness!' Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Now everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, well be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall."

Luke 21:34-36

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man."

Rom. 2:5-10 "But in accordance with your hardness and your *impenitent (unrepentant) heart you are *treasuring (storing) up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who 'will render to each one according to his deeds': (Psa.62:12) eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness - indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the *Greek; (Gentile) but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."

1 Thes. 5:1-11 "But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be *sober. (self controlled) For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing."

2 Thes. 1:9-10 "These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed."
2 Pet. 3:10-14 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless."
