DAY OF THE LORD

(This is the wrath of God upon the Earth foreseen by old and new Testament prophets)

Jeremiah 30:5-7 ⁵For thus says the LORD, I have heard a sound of terror, Of dread, there is no peace. ⁶Ask and see: If a male can give birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins as a woman in childbirth, why have all faces turned pale? ⁷Alas! for that day is great, There is none like it; and it is the time of Jacob's distress, But he will be saved from it.

Joel 2:11 And the Lord utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?

Zephaniah 1:15-18 ¹⁵A day of wrath is that day, A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness, ¹⁶A day of trumpet and battle cry, Against the fortified cities And the high corner towers. ¹⁷And I will bring distress on men, So that they will walk like the blind, Because they have sinned against the Lord; And their blood will be poured out like dust, And their flesh like dung. ¹⁸Neither their silver nor their gold Will be able to deliver them On the day of the Lord's wrath; And all the earth will be devoured In the fire of His jealousy, For He will make a complete end, Indeed a terrifying one, Of all the inhabitants of the earth.

Isaiah 2:19 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.

Sixth Seal - Cosmic Terrors (Great Earthquake, Bloody Moon, Darkened Sun, Meteors falling, Mountains and Islands moving, Sky splits apart)

• The signs in the earth and heavens signal the beginning of the Day of the Lord.

Revelation 6:12-14 ¹²I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood; ¹³and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind. ¹⁴The sky was split apart like a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Joel 2:10, 30-31 ¹⁰Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark, And the stars lose their brightness. ³⁰And I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire, and columns of smoke. ³¹The sun will be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

Joel 3:14-15 ¹⁴Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.¹⁵The sun and moon grow dark, And the stars lose their brightness.

Revelation 6:17 For the great day of their wrath has come; and who is able to stand?

Isaiah 13:9-10,13 ⁹Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it. ¹⁰For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises, And the moon will not shed its light. ¹³Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.

Sealing (Ownership) of the 144,000 of Israel

Revelation 7:2-4 ²And I saw another angel; ascending from the rising of the sun having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, ³saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the bond-servents of our God on their foreheads." ⁴And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel.

Martyrs of the Great Tribulation Stand Before God

Revelation 7:14-15 ¹⁴And I said to him, "Sir, you know." So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb^{. 15}Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

Day of the Lord Begins

Seventh Seal - Consists of Seven trumpet judgments on mankind

Revelation 8:1,6 ¹When the Lamb broke the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. ⁶And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound them.

Isaiah 26:21 For behold, the Lord is about to come out from His place To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; And the earth will reveal her bloodshed, And will no longer cover her slain.

First Trumpet - Hail and Fire Destruction of all the grass and 1/3 of trees

Revelation 8:7 ⁷The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

• May represent an after effect of nuclear weapons as fire and hail occur in atmosphere following an atomic explosion as in Japan at the end of World War II.

Second Trumpet - Meteor falls into the Ocean destroying 1/3 of ships and sea life

Revelation 8:8-9 ⁸The second angel sounded, and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood, ⁹and a third of the creatures which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

Third Trumpet - Wormwood falls from the Heavens causing fresh water to become bitter

Revelation 8:10-11 ¹⁰The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters. ¹¹The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

• Wormwood is a bitter plant that can paralyze or kill.

Fourth Trumpet - Darkening of a third of the sun, moon, and stars

Revelation 8:12 The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way.

• After many nuclear explosions the atmosphere fills with dust and debris blocking the light from filtering through. (Nuclear winter hypothesis)

Fifth Trumpet - (Woe #1) Locusts from the Bottomless Pit

Revelation 9:1-10 ¹Then the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from heaven which had fallen to the earth; and the key of the bottomless pit was given to him. ²He opened the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the pit, like the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. ³Then out of the smoke came locusts upon the earth, and power was given them, as the scorpions of the earth have power. ⁴They were told not to hurt the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. ⁵And they were not permitted to kill anyone, but to torment for five months; and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings a man. ⁶And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death flees from them. ⁷The appearance of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle; and on their heads appeared to be crowns like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men. ⁸They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. ⁹They had breastplates like breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, of many horses rushing to battle. ¹⁰They have tails like scorpions, and stings; and in their tails is their power to hurt men for five months.

• Theory #1- This may be an actual plague of tormenting locusts.
• Theory #2- The locusts may be a first century description of helicopters. The wings sounding like chariots could be the sound of helicopter blades spinning.

Sixth Trumpet - (Woe #2) Eastern army of 200,000,000 men kill 1/3 of mankind

Revelation 9:13-19 ¹³Then the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, ¹⁴one saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates." ¹⁵And the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour and day and month and year, were released, so that they would kill a third of mankind. ¹⁶The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them. ¹⁷And this is how I saw in the vision the horses and those who sat on them: the riders had breastplates the color of fire and of hyacinth and of brimstone; and the heads of the horses are like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and brimstone. ¹⁸A third of mankind was killed by these three plagues, by the fire and the smoke and the brimstone which proceeded out of their mouths. ¹⁹For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails are like serpents and have heads, and with them they do harm.

• Reported number of men in the Chinese armed forces and militia in 1964 was 200 million. The population of China has increased significantly since then.

Death of the Two Witnesses

Revelation 11:7-12 ⁷When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. ⁸And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. ⁹Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. ¹⁰And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. ¹¹But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them. ¹²And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.

• God's 2 witnesses are killed, resurrected from the dead, and then taken up to heaven in front of the eyes of the whole world (Television).

Seventh Trumpet - Consist of seven bowls of the Final Judgment of God

First Bowl of the Wrath of God - Sores on men with the Mark of the Beast

Revelation 16:2 So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

Second Bowl of the Wrath of God - All creatures in the sea die

Revelation 16:3 The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.

Third Bowl of the Wrath of God - Rivers and Springs become blood

Revelation 16:4 Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

• The wicked must drink the blood of the martyrs.

Fourth Bowl of the Wrath of God - Sun scorches the earth

Revelation 16:8-9 ⁸The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire. ⁹Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.

• The earth may move out of its orbit closer to the sun.

Fifth Bowl of the Wrath of God - Kingdom of the Antichrist/Beast becomes darkened

Revelation 16:10-11 ¹⁰Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, ¹¹and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.

Sixth Bowl of the Wrath of God - Euphrates river dries up allowing the Chinese army to move to Armageddon

Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.

Seventh Bowl of the Wrath of God - Greatest earthquake ever, Babylon/Rome is destroyed

Revelation 16:17-19 ¹⁷Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, "It is done." ¹⁸And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. ¹⁹The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.

• Babylon can refer to:
• 1)The actual city of Babylon which is being restored in Iraq 50 miles south of Bagdad
• 2)The false worldwide religion of the antichrist which began with the mystery religions of Babylon thousands of years ago
• 3) or Rome, city of seven hills, which may be the headquarters of the false worldwide religion. Revelation 17:9 "Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
• 4) Some Christians feel that Babylon is America -See Link America the Babylon

Isaiah 13:1,4,6 ¹The oracle concerning Babylon which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw. ⁴A sound of tumult on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of the uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of hosts is mustering the army for battle. ⁶Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Jeremiah 51:24,26 ²⁴But I will repay Babylon and all the inhabitants of Chaldea for all their evil that they have done in Zion before your eyes," declares the Lord. ²⁶"and they will not take from you even a stone for a corner Nor a stone for foundations, but you will be desolate forever.

• Babylon will be destroyed forever.
