for the greatdayof their wrathhas come,and whois ableto stand?"
The Lordis at Your righthand;He will shatterkingsin the dayof His wrath.
Dohomageto the Son,that He not becomeangry,and you perish[in] the way,For His wrathmay soonbe kindled.How blessedare allwho takerefugein Him!
You, even You, are to be feared;And whomay standin Your presencewhenonceYou are angry?
"For the dayof vengeancewas in My heart,And My yearof redemptionhas come.
Alas!for that dayis great,Thereis nonelikeit; And it is the timeof Jacob'sdistress,But he will be savedfrom it.
Alasfor the day!For the dayof the LORDis near,And it will comeas destructionfrom the Almighty.
Blowa trumpetin Zion,And soundan alarmon My holymountain!Let allthe inhabitantsof the landtremble,For the dayof the LORDis coming;Surelyit is near,
The LORDuttersHis voicebeforeHis army;SurelyHis campis verygreat,For strongis he who carriesout His word.The dayof the LORDis indeedgreatand veryawesome,And who can endureit?
"The sunwill be turnedinto darknessAnd the mooninto bloodBeforethe greatand awesomedayof the LORDcomes.
Whocan standbeforeHis indignation?Whocan endurethe burningof His anger?His wrathis pouredout like fireAnd the rocksare brokenup by Him.
"But whocan endurethe dayof His coming?And whocan standwhen He appears?For He is like a refiner'sfireand like fullers'soap.
"But keep on the alertat alltimes,prayingthat you may have strengthto escapeallthese thingsthat are aboutto take place,and to standbeforethe Sonof Man."
But becauseof your stubbornnessand unrepentantheartyou are storingup wrathfor yourselfin the dayof wrathand revelationof the righteous judgmentof God,
And angelswho did not keeptheir owndomain,but abandonedtheir properabode,He has keptin eternalbondsunderdarknessfor the judgmentof the greatday,
"And the nationswere enraged,and Your wrathcame,and the time[came] for the deadto be judged,and [the time] to rewardYour bond-servantsthe prophetsand the saintsand thosewho fearYour name,the smalland the great,and to destroythosewho destroythe earth."
for they are spiritsof demons,performingsigns,whichgoout to the kingsof the wholeworld,to gather them togetherfor the warof the greatdayof God,the Almighty.
The menof Beth-shemeshsaid,"Whois ableto standbeforethe LORD,thisholyGod?And to whomshall He goup from us?"
