WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

The great day of the Lord is near,
it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the Lord: the
mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
That day is day of wrath, day of
trouble and distress, day Of dark
ness and gloominess, a day of clouds
and thick darkness.
And will bring distress upon men,
that they shall walk like blind men,
because they have sinned against the
Lord: and their blood shall be poured
out as dust, and their flesh as the
dung.
Neither their silver nor their gold
shall be able to deliver them in the
day of the Lords wrath; but the whole
land shall be devoured by the fire of
his jealousy: for he shall make even
a speedy radiance of all them that
dwell in the land.--Zeph. TIA, Is, II
