Old Testament Scriptures:
And Jehovah GOD saw that the evil, wretchedness and wickedness of
mankind was great in the earth, and that every imagination and everything
framed in his mind, of the purpose and thoughts of his feelings, and heart was
only evil, and his desires were wrong continually, every day. And it
repented the LORD Jehovah that He had made man on the earth and it displeased,
and grieved Him at His inner feelings and heart. And the LORD Jehovah said, I
will destroy, erase, strike and rub out man whom I have created and prepared
from the face of the earth; both man and beast, and the creeping thing, and the
fowls of the air; for it causes me to repent and reconsider that I have made
them. For yet in seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty
days and forty nights; and every living substance and thing that I have made,
will I destroy, erase, strike and rub out from off the face of the earth.
The earth also was corrupt and marred before the exceeding great and mighty God,
the Judge; and the land of the earth was full of injustice and unrighteous
violence. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; directed His view,
to view and think upon the land of the earth; and all flesh of mankind had
corrupted and spoiled His course of life and the way to walk upon the land of
the earth. And the exceeding great and mighty God, the Judge; said unto Noah;
the process of the end of all flesh of mankind is come before my face, for the
land of the earth is filled with false injustice and violence through them and
behold, I will destroy, cast off, cause to perish and utterly waste them with
the land of the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains,
springs and wells of the great abyss of surging water in the deep broken up,
and the windows and holes of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the
earth forty days and forty nights. And I will establish my covenant with you;
neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a deluge and
flood; neither shall there anymore be a deluge and flood to destroy the earth. Genesis 6:5-7, 11-13; 7:4, 11-12; & 9:11.
Then the LORD caused it to rain upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah an
inflammable sulfurous brimstone and a burning, hot flaming fire from the LORD
Jehovah out of the sky of heaven; And He overthrew those cities and all the
plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the
ground. And Abraham got up early in the morning to the place where he stood
before the LORD Jehovah: And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward
all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, a cloud of ashes, smoke and
vapor of the land went up as the fume and smoke of a smelting furnace. Genesis 19:24-25; & 19:27-28.
For the day of the LORD Jehovah of hosts shall be upon every one that
is arrogant, proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and
he shall be abased, humiliated and brought low: And upon all the cedars of Lebanon,
that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan, And upon all the
high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up, And upon every high
tower, and upon every fenced wall, And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon
all pleasant pictures. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and
the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted
in that day. And the idols He shall utterly abolish. And they shall go into the
holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and
for the glory of His majesty, when He rises to shake terribly the earth. In
that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which
they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go
into the caverns and clefts of the rocks as a refuge, and onto the tops of the
ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of His majesty, when He
rises to shake mightily and terribly the earth. Isaiah
2:12-21.
In that day, they shall growl, mourn and roar against them like the
roaring of the sea and if one look and consider attentively unto the land,
behold, darkness, death, destruction, misery and sorrow of anguish; trouble and
tribulation; and the illumination of the bright, clear day light is caused to
be darkness, made dim and black, as to hide in the sky of the heaven, as
dropping at the horizon. Isaiah 5:30.
Make a boisterous and wailing howl; for the day of the LORD Jehovah is
near at hand; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty. Therefore shall
all hands be faint, and every man's heart shall melt: And they shall be
afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a
woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall
be as flames. Lo and behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah is coming, a
burning and cruel anger; both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the country,
the field, the wilderness and the land of the earth desolate: and He
shall destroy the one accounted guilty as sinners thereof out of it. For the
stars of heaven and the constellations, even of Orion, thereof shall not give
their light: the sun rays from the east to the west will be dark and hidden
from view and the bright moon will not glitter, illuminate or shine. And I will
punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will
cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of
the terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than
the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, I will shake with a violent tremble, the
air of heaven and the land of the earth shall move in a smooth wavelike motion,
it will increase and decrease, out of her local and general place in the
outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath of the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One of Armies and in the day of His burning fierce
rapid breathing passionate anger. Isaiah 13:6-13.
Behold, the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One makes the
land of the earth empty, and depopulates it, and annihilates it, and makes it
waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters by dashing in pieces and abroad
the ones who dwell and settle down on the land of the earth, the inhabitants
thereof. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the
servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with
the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as
with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. The land of the
earth shall be utterly emptied, and depopulated, and utterly plundered and
spoiled: for the LORD God Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One hath spoken
and properly arranged this word. The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes
and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth do languish. The earth also
is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the
laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath
the curse devoured and consumed the land of the earth, and they that dwell
therein are desolate and guilty to be punished and to perish: therefore the
inhabitants of the land of the earth are burned, and few men remain. Fear, and
the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth. And it
shall come to pass, that he who flees and escapes from the noise and sound of
the fear, alarm and terror shall fall into the pit and snare as a catching for
prey; and he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the
spring trap and snare: for the windows from on high are open wide, and the
foundations of the ground and land of the earth do shake. The land and
field of the earth is utterly broken down into pieces, the ground and the land
of the earth is clean dissolved, it is moved and wavered, the earth is shaken
off course, it is moved exceedingly, falling down and shaken violently. The
earth shall reel and waver, to and fro, as in wavering as being intoxicated and
like a drunkard, and shall flee, waver and be tossing like a hammock, be
removed like a cottage; and the transgression and rebellion and sin,
thereof shall be heavy and a severe burden upon it; and it shall
fall, and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the
LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, shall visit to punish the mass of
those organized for war and the host of the high and haughty ones that
are in a lofty and elevated place, and the kings of the earth upon the land of
the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in
the pit, a dungeon and prison, and shall be shut up and fastened in the prison,
and after many days shall they be visited for punishment. Then the moon
shall be confounded and brought to confusion and the heat of the sun ashamed,
pale and delayed, when the LORD Jehovah, the Self-Existent, Eternal One, of the
Hosts of Armies shall take council to ascend to the throne and begin His royal
reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients in splendor,
glory and honor. Isaiah 24:1-6 & 17-23.
Thou shall be visited by the Lord Jehovah of Hosts with a peal of
thunder, with earthquake and vibration, with fierceness, shaking and vapor; and
great noise, with whirlwind, storm and tempest and the flash of bright, flaming,
devouring, burning fire. Isaiah 29:6.
For lo, I begin to bring evil and spoil on the guarded city which
is called by name and should ye be completely unpunished; ye shall be
unpunished, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants, those who
settle down to dwell on the land of the earth and of the world, saith the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One of the Hosts of Armies. Therefore,
speak an inspiration of prophesy as a matter of cause and against them all
these words and say, the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One will
mightily roar from on high and call aloud with His voice from His sacred and
holy abode and habitation; He shall give an acclamation and shout as they that
tread and walk though to ambush the inhabitants and dwellers upon the land of
the earth. A noise and an uproar shall come even to the ends of the land of the
earth, for the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One has a
controversy and a strife with the nations of the Gentile people, the foreign
heathen; He will judge and pass sentence, vibrate and punish all flesh of
mankind, He will give them that are morally wrong, wicked and ungodly, to the
cutting instrument of a sword, declares by affirmation, the Lord Jehovah, the
Self-Existent and Eternal One. Thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent
and Eternal One of the Host of Armies, Behold evil and wretchedness shall go
forth from the nations of the Gentiles, to the nations of the Gentiles, a great
tempest of a whirlwind, and shall be raised up, and stirred up, and
awaken from the coasts, and boarders of the earth of the world. And the slain
of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One shall be at that day,
from one end of the land of the earth, even unto the other end of the land of
the earth, they shall not be lamented or mourn, nor in any wise be buried, they
shall be dung upon the surface of the soil and ground of the earth. Jeremiah 25:29-33.
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying: son of a human being,
speak by inspiration in a prediction and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD, Jehovah;
Howl ye with a boisterous wailing tone, Woe and grief worth the day, For the
day is near, even the day of the LORD Jehovah: is near, a day of clouds
that cover the sky; a time of the nations of the Gentiles; the heathen. Ezekiel 30:1-3.
Therefore, son of a human being: speak an inspired prophesy and say
unto Gog, the northern nation, Thus says, the Lord, the Only God; In that day,
when my people of Israel dwell in a quiet, secure and feeling of safety, Will
you not know and be ascertain by seeing it? And thou shall come from the
northern border, you and many people as a unit of troops, with all of them
riding and being dispatched upon horses, a great assembly and multitude, an
abundant and a mighty army of fierce and strength. And thou shall come up and
ascend as a trap against my people of Israel, as a thunder cloud covering the
sky to cover and overwhelm the land. It shall be in the latter and future days
and I will bring thee against my land, that the foreign heathen, Gentile people
may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee O’ Gog, the northern nation,
before their eyes. Thus says the Lord, the Only God, Art thou he of whom I have
spoken in ancient time by my servants, the inspired men and prophets of Israel
which spoke by inspiration in those days, many years that I would bring thee
against them? And it shall come to pass at the same time, when Gog, the
northern nation, will come against the land of Israel saith the Lord, the Only
God, that my anger and hot displeasure, fury and rage will come up into my
face. For in my jealousy and zeal, in the burning, hot flaming fire of my
outburst of passionate anger, rage and wrath, have I spoken: For certain, in
that day, there shall be a great and insolent shaking and uproar, a vibration
and quaking in the land of Israel. So that the fishes of the sea and the birds
of the air of heaven and the living creatures of the field and all reptiles,
and any other rapid moving animals that creep by moving upon the soil of the earth
and all human beings, that are upon the face of the soil of the earth, will
shake at my presence, and the mountains and range of hills shall be broken into
pieces, and the wall of protection will fall to the ground. And I will call out
for a cutting instrument of a sword against all and throughout all my mountain
range of hills and country, Says the Lord, the Only God: every man’s cutting
instrument of a sword will be against his brother and kinsman. And I will judge
for a sentence to vindicate and punish against him, with a plague and
pestilence, with a substance like blood; and I will rain upon him and upon his
army and crowd of troops, upon many people as a collective unit, that are with
him, an over flowing gush, and conquering overflowing rain, and a great weight
of a peal of hail stones, of a hot, burning, fiery, flaming fire and an
inflammable, sulfur resin of brimstone. Thus will I magnify myself, and
sanctify myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many a foreign, heathen,
Gentile people and you will know by ascertain by seeing, that I am the Lord
Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal One. Ezekiel
38:14-23.
Sanctify ye a fast, to call out a solemn assembly to a meeting, to
gather the elders and all the inhabitants, who settle and dwell on the land of
the earth, into the house of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and Eternal
One, your great and mighty God, the Judge; cry and shriek unto the Lord
Jehovah; Oh, oh, Alas, for the day of the Lord Jehovah, the Self-Existent and
Eternal One is near at hand: as a destruction of violence and ravage of
wasting, from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 1:14-15.
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble with violent emotion and stand in
awe: for the day of the LORD Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of
darkness and misery, of gloominess and misfortune, a day of clouds and lowering
of the dark thick sky, as the day dawns upon the mountains: a great people,
numerous and strong; there hath not been anything like this, neither shall be
any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A hot, fiery, flame
devours and consumes them; and behind them a spearing flame is set on a flaming
blaze: the land is as the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate, devastation and wasted wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape it.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so
shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they
leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong
people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained:
all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall
climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and
they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall
walk everyone in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall,
they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a
thief. The earth shall quake and quiver with a violent rage, shake and tremble
before them; the air of the heavens shall tremble and move: the sun rays in the
arch of the sky, from the east, to the west and the moon shall be an ashy dark
color; and the stars shall withdraw and remove their clear brilliant shining:
And the LORD shall thunder forth His voice before His army: for His encampment
is very exceeding great: for He is mighty and strong to execute His word: for
the day of the LORD Jehovah is very great and very terrible, to be feared; and
who can endure and bear it? Joel 2:1-11.
And I will show a token, a sign and wonders in the air of the heavens,
in the visible arch of the sky, where the clouds move; and in the field, in the
ground, in the wilderness and throughout all the land of the earth; it will
have the appearance of blood along with a burning, hot, flaming fire; and columns
and pillars of clouds, of angry dust, smoke and vapor. The brilliant sunrays in
the arch of the sky, from the rising of the sun in the east, to the setting of
the sun westward will be changed and turned over to the darkness of night and
the moon will take on the appearance of blood, before the great and notable,
the fearful, the terrible and dreadful day of the LORD Jehovah, the
self-Existing, the Eternal One comes. Joel 2:30-31
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty
men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Beat your plowshares
into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together
round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the
heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I
sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest
is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for
their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:
for the day of the LORD Jehovah is near at hand, in the valley of decision and
destruction. The arch of the sunrays from the rising in the east, to the
setting in the west and the moon shall be ashy dark and the gazing of the stars
shall withdraw their bright shining. The LORD Jehovah also shall mightily roar
and rumble out of Zion; and give forth His voice from Jerusalem; and the air of
the heavens and the field, the country, the wilderness and the land of the
earth shall shake and tremble: but the LORD Jehovah will be the shelter of hope
of His people and the strength and fortress of the children of Israel. So shall
ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then
shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any
more. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down
new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall
flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and
shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be desolation, and Edom shall be
a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because
they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall dwell forever and
Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will cleanse their blood that I
have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. Joel 3:9-21.
Alas, O’ Woe unto you that desire and wish to know the day of the LORD!
To what purpose and to what end is it for you? The day of the LORD Jehovah is
darkness and obscurity and not bright nor light. As if a man did flee from a
lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the
wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD Jehovah be
darkness and not one of illumination, bright and clear? Even very dark and
dusky; with no brightness or clear shinning in it? Amos 5:18-20.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I
will cause the sun rays in the arch of the sky, from the rising of the sun in
the east to the setting in the west, to go down at noon, midday and become a
dual, double light and I will withhold the light and cause darkness on the
earth in the clear, bright, illumination of the day. Amos 8:9.
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD
is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. And
it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice that I will punish the
princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange
apparel. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the
threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit. And it
shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise
of a cry from the fish gate, and a howling from the second, and a great
crashing from the hills. Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant
people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off. And it shall come
to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the
men that are settled on their preserved things: that say in their heart, The
LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. Therefore their goods shall
become booty and their houses desolation: they shall also build houses, but not
inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
The great day of the LORD Jehovah is near, it is near, and is coming exceeding
quickly and swiftly, even the voice of the day of the LORD Jehovah: the mighty
man shall cry in a shrill of tone, there with discontent and great bitterness.
That day, is a day of anger, rage and wrath, a day of adversity, affliction,
anguish, distress, tribulation and trouble; a day of wastefulness, devastation
and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick
black darkness covering the sky; A day of the trumpet and giving a clear sound,
an alarm against the fenced and fortified cities, and against the high towers
and battlements. And I will bring distress upon human beings that they shall
walk like a blind person, because they have sinned against the LORD Jehovah:
and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and the flesh of their bodies as
the dung. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in
the day of the LORD Jehovah’s outburst of anger, rage and wrath; but the
whole land shall be burned, devoured and consumed by the hot fiery flame of His
jealousy: for He shall make a speedy and complete destruction and riddance of
all the inhabitants of the land. Zephaniah
1:7-18.
Thus said the Lord Jehovah of the Hosts of Armies; Yet once in a little
while, very soon, I will shake the air of the heavens and the country, the
ground, the wilderness, the field and the land of the earth and the sea, the
dry and the desert land. Haggai 2:6.
Behold, the day of the LORD Jehovah comes, and thy spoil shall be
divided in the midst of thee. For I will gather all heathen, Gentile nations
against Jerusalem to battle and war; and the city shall be captured, occupied
and taken, and the houses rifled, plundered and spoiled; and the women will be
defiled and ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and
exile, and the residue and remainder of the people shall not be cut off or
consumed, nor destroyed from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and
fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His
feet shall stand in that day, upon the mount of Olives, which is before
Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be divided, cleave and
split in the middle, into two parts, toward the east and toward the west, and
there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove
toward the north and half of it toward the south. And ye shall flee to the
valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:
yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of
Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with
thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the illumination of the day
light, shall not be clear with brightness, nor settled dark: But it shall be
one unique day, which shall be known to the LORD Jehovah, not day, nor night:
but it shall come to pass, that at dusk of the evening time, there will be
illumination of light. And it shall be in that day, that living, running spring
water, shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and
half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. And
the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD,
and His name one. All the land shall be turned as a plain, as the Arabah desert
from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and
inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate,
unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's
winepresses, where the grapes are crushed. And men shall dwell in it, and there
shall be no more curse or physical destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely
inhabited. And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite and slay
all the people, that have assembled and fought against Jerusalem; Their
flesh shall consume away and melt, while they stand upon their feet, and their
eyes shall consume away and melt in their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away and melt in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a
great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold
everyone on the hand of his neighbor and his hand shall rise up against the
hand of his neighbor. And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth
of all the heathen round about, shall be gathered together, gold, and silver,
and apparel, in great abundance. And so shall be the plague of the horse, of
the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in
these tents, as this plague. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is
left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year
to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles. And it shall be that whoso will not come up of all the families of
the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them
shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have
no rain; that shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment
of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast
of tabernacles. In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses,
HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the
bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be
holiness unto the LORD of Hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and
take of them, and see therein: and in that day there shall be no more the
Canaanite in the house of the LORD of Hosts. Zechariah
14:1-21.
For, behold, the day shall come, it will burn as a furnace, a fire pot
and an oven; and all the arrogant and proud, yes all that do wickedly, will be
as stubble: and the day that comes, shall burn and set them ablaze with a
flaming fire, saith the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither
root or branch. Malachi 4:1.
