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 72:1-17
1
God, give the king your justice; your righteousness to the royal son.
2
He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.
3
The mountains shall bring prosperity to the people. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness.
4
He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.
5
They shall fear you while the sun endures; and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6
He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7
In his days, the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.
8
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, from the River to the ends of the earth.
9
Those who dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him. His enemies shall lick the dust.

The kings of Tarshish and of the islands will bring tribute. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.

Yes, all kings shall fall down before him. All nations shall serve him.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.
13
He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.
14
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.
15
They shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba. Men shall pray for him continually. They shall bless him all day long.
16
Abundance of grain shall be throughout the land. Its fruit sways like Lebanon. Let it flourish, thriving like the grass of the field.
17
His name endures forever. His name continues as long as the sun. Men shall be blessed by him. All nations will call him blessed.
