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).
Psalms 49
1
Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,
2
both low and high, rich and poor together.
3
My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.
4
I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.
5
Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?
6
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches--
7
none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
8
For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
9
That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
10
For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
12
But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.
13
This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
14
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
16
Don't be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.
17
For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.
18
Though while he lived he blessed his soul-- and men praise you when you do well for yourself--
19
he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.
20
A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish. A Psalm by Asaph.
