Scriptural Confirmations # 73
73. 2. From the Prophets
The day of Jehovah of Hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and haughty. In that day shall a man cast away his idols; when He arises to terrify the earth (Isaiah 2:12-21). Concerning the Last Judgment.
Jehovah of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in justice (Isaiah 5:16-17). In the first part desolation is treated of (verses 3-15), afterwards the curse upon the evil (verses 18-30).
When thou shalt be visited of Jehovah God with thunder and with earthquake, and a great voice, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire (Isaiah 29:6).
It is called a day of vengeance (Isaiah 61:2).
Of the Lord's battle with the hells and of their subjugation, and thus of the redemption of the faithful (Isaiah 63:1-14).
As an east wind will I scatter them; I will regard them from the back and not from the face in the day of their calamity (Jeremiah 18:17).
They have been driven before thee; in the time of thine anger deal with them (Jeremiah 18:23).
Concerning the day of judgment, which is called the day of revenge, of vengeance, of ruin, of anger. See many places in the section on Redemption.
Isaiah 61
1
The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound;
2
to proclaim the year of Yahweh's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;
3
to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified.
4
They shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5
Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6
But you shall be named the priests of Yahweh; men will call you the ministers of our God: you will eat the wealth of the nations, and you will boast in their glory.
7
Instead of your shame [you shall have] double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them.
8
"For I, Yahweh, love justice, I hate robbery with iniquity; and I will give them their recompense in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9
Their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which Yahweh has blessed."
10
I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11
For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
