The Day of the Lord
1 Blow Jer. 4:5; Joel 2:15; Zeph. 1:16the trumpet in Zion,
And Num. 10:5sound an alarm in My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;
For Joel 1:15; 2:11, 31; 3:14; (Obad. 15); Zeph. 1:14the day of the Lord is coming,
For it is at hand:
2 Joel 2:10, 31; Amos 5:18; Zeph. 1:15A day of darkness and gloominess,
A day of clouds and thick darkness,
Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains.
Joel 1:6; 2:11, 25A people come, great and strong,
Ex. 10:14; Lam. 1:12; Dan. 9:12; 12:1; Joel 1:2The like of whom has never been;
Nor will there ever be any such after them,
Even for many successive generations.
3 A fire devours before them,
And behind them a flame burns;
The land is like Gen. 2:8; Is. 51:3; Ezek. 36:35the Garden of Eden before them,
Ex. 10:5, 15; Ps. 105:34, 35; Zech. 7:14And behind them a desolate wilderness;
Surely nothing shall escape them.
