Day of the LORD

Mo. 7/21/14: Joel 2:1                  Why was an alarm sounded?

      Blow the trumpet in Zion,

      And sound an alarm in My holy mountain!

      Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble;

      For the day of the LORD is coming,

      For it is at hand:

Why was an alarm sounded? The day of the LORD is coming.

Tu. 7/22/14: Joel 2:10b – 11    What happens on that day?

      The sun and moon grow dark,

      And the stars diminish their brightness.

      The LORD gives voice before His army,

      For His camp is very great;

      For strong is the One who executes His word.

      For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible;

      Who can endure it?

What happens on that day? The sun and moon shall be darkened.

We. 7/23/14: Joel 2:31 – 32a                  Who shall be saved?

      The sun shall be turned into darkness,

      And the moon into blood,

      Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

      And it shall come to pass

      That whoever calls on the name of the LORD

      Shall be saved.

Who shall be saved? Whoever calls on Yahweh shall be saved.

Th. 7/24/14: Joel 3:14b – 16a                  Who shall be heard?

      For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

      The sun and moon will grow dark,

      And the stars will diminish their brightness.

      The LORD also will roar from Zion,

      And utter His voice from Jerusalem;

      The heavens and earth will shake

Who shall be heard? The LORD shall roar and be heard.

Fr. 7/25/14: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-3                   How does the day come?

But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the LORD so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.

How does the day come?  The day shall come as a thief in the night.
