Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sound an alarm in my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble for the day of Jehovah comes. It is near! It is a day of darkness and gloom! It is a day of clouds and thick darkness! The dawn spreads upon the mountains. This great and mighty people have never seen anything like this. Nor will it be like this again even to the years of many generations. A fire devours before them and behind them a flame burns! The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness. Yes, none have escaped them. read more.
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses. They run like horsemen into war. Like the noise of chariots they leap on the tops of the mountains. It is like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble. They are a strong people set in battle array. At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale. They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war. They march every one on his way and do not break their ranks. They do not crowd each other. They march every one in his path. They burst through the weapons and do not break ranks. They rush to the city. They run on the wall. They climb into the houses. They enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble! The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars cease to shine. Jehovah speaks before his army. His camp is very great! He is strong that executes his word. The Day of Jehovah is great and very terrible! Who can endure it?
