Scriptural Confirmations # 78
78. 7. Behold the day of Jehovah cometh. I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle. Then shall Jehovah go forth, and fight against those nations. His feet shall stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall be cleft, part of it toward the east and toward the sea, with a very great valley, and part of the mountain shall remove toward the north and part toward the south. It shall come to pass in that day, there shall not be light, brightness, nor condensation. And there shall be one day which shall be known to Jehovah, not day nor night: for at evening time there shall be light (Zechariah 14:1-7; especially Psalms 9:5-9, 18).
A day of anger (Lamentations 1:12; 2:1). A time of anger (Psalms 21:10). For His anger shall burn up quickly: spoken of the Lord (Psalms 2:12). Of the Last Judgment (Psalms 9:5-9,18).
The earth shook, and the earth trembled, and the foundations of the mountains were shaken when He was wroth. There went up a smoke in His nostrils. He bowed the heaven, He came down: and thick darkness was under His feet (Psalms 18:7-11 seq.). By all these things the Last Judgment is described.
The judgment is described (Psalms 9:5-9, 18, also Psalms 18:8-20). Here are described the destruction of the impious, and the salvation of the faithful.
Of the judgment wrought by the Lord (Psalms 45:4-6), and then His kingdom (verse 7 seq.). See article concerning Desolation.
Out of Zion God shall shine. Our God shall come and shall not keep silence; a fire shall devour before Him, and about Him a storm shall rage vehemently. He shall call to the heaven above, and to the earth, to judge His people. Gather to Me My saints. The heavens shall declare His justice. God is judge (Psalms 50:2-6). Thou, Jehovah, God of armies, the God of Israel, awake to visit all nations (Psalms 59:5).
Concerning the judgment, and, after it, concerning the kingdom of the Lord (Psalms 72:1-17).
The day of battle (Psalms 78:9).
Jehovah cometh, He cometh to judge the earth; He shall judge the peoples in uprightness, and the world in justice (Psalms 96:10, 13; also 98:9). In this Psalm the coming of the Lord is treated of.
In the dawn Jehovah will cut off all the impious of the earth; He will cut off from the city of Jehovah all that do iniquity (Psalms 101:8).
The saying of Jehovah to my Lord, Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Jehovah shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power. The Lord at thy right hand hath struck down kings in the day of His anger. He shall judge among the nations; He hath filled with dead bodies; He hath stricken down the head over many lands (Psalms 110:1-7).
That there will be a judgment as of Sodom upon all when the Son of man shall be revealed (Luke 17:22-37).
Luke 17:22-30
22
And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23
And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24
For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
25
But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
26
And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
