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 18:8-20
8
Smoke went out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
9
He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
10
He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he soared on the wings of the wind.
11
He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion around him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13
Yahweh also thundered in the sky. The Most High uttered his voice: hailstones and coals of fire.
14
He sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yes, great lightning bolts, and routed them.
15
Then the channels of waters appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare at your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16
He sent from on high. He took me. He drew me out of many waters.
17
He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18
They came on me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support.
19
He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
20
Yahweh has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
