Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

 Joel 1: 14 – 15

14        Consecrate a fast,

Proclaim a solemn assembly;

Gather the elders

And all the inhabitants of the land

To the house of the Lord your God,

And cry out to the Lord.

            15        Alas for the day!

For the day of the Lord is near,

And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

 

When “the” Day comes, mankind will need all the help it can get. Natural destruction or destruction by man can be devastating, but destruction from the Lord is unimaginable.

 

10.       If we could hear God speak, He would probably say: “I cannot say how bad it will be because you cannot conceive of it. Your mind and heart would not be able to handle it. Suffice it to say the worst disaster you’ve seen is but a tiny reflection of what is coming.”
