Isaiah 13:13  (God says)  Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of HIS fierce anger
 
(At the end of this world when God removes this heaven and earth with fire.)
 
2 Peter 3
 
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
 
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 
 
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
 
13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
 
(God said to me:  "No matter what you do, this earth will not be righteous.") 
 
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Psalm 1
 
1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
 
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before His presence with singing.
 
3 Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
 
4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, and bless His name.
 
5 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting; and His truth endureth to all generations.

Yesterday I went to a fabric store, planning to get some fabric to make a drapery to cover my sliding-glass door. I thought I needed 9 yards of fabric, but the store did not have that much of either of the fabrics I felt would work, although they had 8-1/2 yards of one of those fabrics.  
 
I didn't think of it at the time a woman at the fabric shop was helping me, but later I thought that perhaps 8-1/2 yards would be enough. I wished I had thought of this earlier.
 
Then the Holy Spirit brought a thought that I should re-measure the door. When I did this, I found that I needed 12 yards, not 9, as I had thought!  I was so glad that I hadn't purchased the 8-1/2 yards of fabric, for there is no way that would have worked.  
 
And I was reminded of what we're told in Romans 8:28. 
 
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.  
 
My disappointment turned to gratitude toward God, for I was kept from going in a way that wouldn't have worked.

Proverbs 3:1-6
 
 1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 
 
 2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
 
3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
 
4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 
 
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Titus 2:11-14 
 
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men. Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Hymn - God will take care of you 
 
1 Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
    God will take care of you!
  Beneath His wings of love abide,
    God will take care of you!
 
 
     God will take care of you,
     Through every day o’er all the way;
     He will take care of you;
     God will take care of you!
 
 
2 Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
     God will take care of you!
   When dangers fierce your path assail,
     God will take care of you! 
 
3 All you may need He will provide,
     God will take care of you!
   Trust Him, and you will be satisfied,
     God will take care of you! 
 
4 Lonely and sad, from friends apart,
     God will take care of you!
   He will give peace to your aching heart,
     God will take care of you!
 
5 No matter what may be the test,
     God will take care of you!
   Lean, weary one, upon His breast (Word),
     God will take care of you!

πŸ’₯ The prophet Isaiah speaking to nation of Israel. We could speak the same thing to today's churches.


Isaiah 1

2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against ME.

3 The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, MY people doth not consider.

4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto ME? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.

12 When ye come to appear before ME, who hath required this at your hand, to tread MY courts?

13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto ME; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts MY soul hateth: they are a trouble unto ME; I am weary to bear them.

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before MINE eyes; cease to do evil;

17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Comments by Joan Boney:

Let us judge ourselves.

1 Thessalonians 5:21  Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Stop doing needless things that trouble you.

* First, I stopped watching evening news.  God will deal with this world.  I am not of this world now that I am born again.  I'm just waiting for the return of Jesus.  HE will take us to the "new heaven and new earth" wherein dwelleth righteousness which God has made for HIS people.  We will never be able to make this present earth righteous.  (God has persuaded me of that!)  I need to work to keep myself righteous, going in the way of God by the Word of God.  Living in specific scriptures, doing that Word.

Second, I think I have finally quit being a football fan which troubles me without real reason.  (I've watched for 64 years.  My team has won and lost, mostly lost.  A fan worries over the coaching, the players, the opponents ... and many other thing ... all for naught!  It really doesn't matter.  It is some kind of vain delusion.)  It seems to matter, but it doesn't.  I really don't want to do this any more.

When I stopped these 2 things, it was like a great weight removed from me.  I filled my time with reading the Old and New testaments of the Bible.  And by doing those scripture which the Holy Spirit calls to my attention for I need that NOW!

The iniquity of this world today indicates to me that Jesus will come soon.

The apostle Peter says:

2 Peter 3

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to HIS promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of HIM in peace, without spot, and blameless.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 1

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of MINE adversaries, and avenge ME of MINE enemies:

25 And I will turn MY hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.

28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

31And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Choose the good and depart from the evil and from those things that trouble you and cause you to be angry and to grieve needlessly.

Now is the time for us to judge ourselves and choose good ways, ways of life!

Jesus will come and set everything straight!  Trust HIM, HIS Word.

Podcast: Matthew 24: Jesus explains the events leading up to the great tribulation of the end times

 
 
 
The apostle Peter explains that time in the sight of God differs from time as we view time.  

Jesus says, Revelation 22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

But 2000+ years have passed since the crucifixion and resurrection.  So how can this be viewed as "quickly"?

Peter explains:  2 Peter 3:8  But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

By this, God views it has been a little over 2 days since Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Revelation 22:20  He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

In Matthew 24, Jesus gives us an outline of that which leads up to the end of this world and HIS coming to gather the elect of God.

Matthew 24

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and HIS disciples came to HIM for to shew HIM the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.  

(Jesus shows HIS disciples that all these things made by man will be destroyed at the end of this world.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

(Many will come saying "Jesus is Lord" and people will view them as Christian so they will be able to deceive many.  They will come as ministers.  They will also come as people in the congregations.  But they will bring doctrines not of Christ but of antichrist and they will lead people away from many scriptures in the New Testament Bible.  These are the antichrist churches of the end times leading up to the great tribulation with God will send to judge the whole world along with the antichrist churches.)
Revelation 8, 9, 16

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

(Some of those things have now already passed:  WWI;  WWII; churches departing from scripture of the Bible and setting up doctrines contrary to Christ, antichrist in the churches)

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for MY name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

(Example:  In WWII Germany. People lived in terror for if a neighbor or even their own children became offended they could denounce a person to the Gestapo and cause them to be taken and tortured and even killed.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

(Today, all over the world, there are false ministers leading individual churches, falling away from scripture of Bible and setting up doctrines opposite to Bible.  antichrist)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

(2 Timothy 3:1-6    This know also, that in the last days  perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
... 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.)

(We see iniquity growing worse and worse in both churches and world leaders and individuals day by day, year by year.  Often we are shocked by that which they say and do.  Finally we've heard so much evil from them that we expect to hear such and if we aren't careful we will become hardened to the evil and will be in danger of being swept away ourselves from truth, from God, from Bible.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

(I've heard many today in church groups say their church has become "watered down".  And politicians in USA have grown worse and worse and integrity is even worse that in decades before and many of us are shocked at that which they say and do.  All this leads up to the great tribulation where God bring HIS own judgments upon both religious and non-religious persons of this whole world.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

(This has been fulfilled through Internet:  blogs & podcasts  This is a major factor showing us we are at the threshold of the coming of Jesus, The Great Tribulation of God, and the destruction of this heaven and this earth ...  2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

(Everyone will see Jesus coming through the clouds.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

(The generation that sees the beginning will see the end.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY words shall not pass away.  (says Jesus)

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but MY Father only.

37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

πŸ’₯ Old Testament prophets are shown by God that which will come in the end times.


Comments by Joan Boney: 

I have been rereading the prophecies the Old Testament prophets spoke of "The Day of the Lord," the coming of Jesus and the Great Tribulation of God and the end of this world which comes when God removes this present heaven and earth by fire.

Here are some of the statements shown them by God centuries ago which will come to pass, perhaps even in our lifetimes.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 26

20 Come, MY people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.

21 For, behold, the LORD cometh out of HIS place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 27:13  (Jesus comes with the sound of a great trumpet)

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.  (I believe this in the new Jerusalem wherein dwelleth righteousness.  2 Peter 3:13 & Revelation 21:1-5)

1 Thessalonians 4

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

(Jesus comes through the clouds and the children of God rise to meet Jesus in the air, but I do not believe Jesus comes back to this earth.  HE comes to get HIS people and HE takes them to the new heaven and new earth which God has created for them.  Revelation 21)

After the great tribulation, God destroys this present heaven and earth with fire. 2 Peter 3:10-14

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 29:06  Thou shalt be visited (judged) of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


Isaiah 30:27   Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with HIS anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: HIS lips are full of indignation, and HIS tongue as a devouring fire:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 30:30  And the LORD shall cause HIS glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of HIS arm, with the indignation of HIS anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 31

1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt (the world) for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

2 Yet HE also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back HIS words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.

3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out HIS hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

6 Turn ye unto HIM from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

7 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 33:12  And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Isaiah 34:04  And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Joel 1:15  Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Peter also spoke of the Day of the Lord and explained the following to us concerning time as God sees time:

2 Peter 3

1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, Where is the promise of HIS coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

So this helps us to understand why something seems delayed when someone in Bible says it will come quickly.  In God's sight a day is as a thousand years.  Looking at it that way, it would only be a little over two days in the sight of God since Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

Joel 2:1-2  Blow ye 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 cometh, for it is nigh at hand;

2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Joel 2:10  The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Joel 2:30-31  And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.  31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Joel 3:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

15  The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter HIS voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Amos 1:2 And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter HIS voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

8  ...  and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.

Amos 5:14  Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

18  Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.

20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Amos 8:9  And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Amos 9:10  All the sinners of MY people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

I hear so many church goers say, "God will never let this happen to me."  I shudder in their boast for I know it is not "real" faith.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Amos 9:13  ...  and all the hills shall melt.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Obadiah 1:15  For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Micah 5

13 Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.

14 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.

15 And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Micah 7:2-3  The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Nahum 1:2  God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on HIS adversaries, and HE reserveth wrath for HIS enemies.

5 The mountains quake at HIM, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at HIS presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

6 Who can stand before HIS indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of HIS anger? HIS fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by HIM.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Matthew 24  (Jesus says)

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And HE shall send HIS angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together HIS elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
