The Day of the Lord Chronology
Principle verses proving the preceding rapture happens on the SAME DAY AS Godâs wrath: Luk 17:26-32 NASB âAnd just as it happened in the days of Noah, so will it also be in the days of the Son of Man: (27) people were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. (28) âIt was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building; (29) but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. (30) âIt will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. (31) âOn that day, the one who will be on the housetop, with his goods in the house, must not go down to take them out; and likewise the one in the field must not turn back. (32) âRemember Lotâs wife.
Woe for the Day of the Lord: Amo 5:18-20 NASB Woe to you who are longing for the day of the LORD, For what purpose will the day of the LORD be to you? It will be darkness and not light; (19) As when a man flees from a lion And a bear confronts him, Or he goes home, leans with his hand against the wall, And a snake bites him. (20) Will the day of the LORD not be darkness instead of light, Even gloom with no brightness in it?
RIGHT BEFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD:
- THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON FILLED WITH THE ARMIES OF THE NATIONS:Â The Lord will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of His people and His inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up His land. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. (Joe 3:2,14)
- IRAN, SUDAN, LIBYA, TURKEY, AND RUSSIA LEAD THE WAR AGAINST ISRAEL: Like a storm cloud they will surround the land and people of Israel. âPersia, Cush, and Put with them, all of them with buckler and helmet;Â Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troopsâmany peoples with you.â âYou will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding horses, a large assembly and a mighty army;Â and you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me when I show Myself holy through you before their eyes, Gog.â Â (Eze 38:5-6, 9, 15, 16)
- A SIEGE: Israel controls Jerusalem until the Day of the Lord comes. Jerusalem and Judah will then be in siege by all the nations of the world; Jerusalem will be a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will injure themselves severely. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. âFor the days will come upon you when your enemies will put up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side.â âBut when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is near. âThen those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains, and those who are inside the city must leave, and those who are in the country must not enter the city; because these are days of punishment, so that all things which have been written will be fulfilled. âWoe to those women who are pregnant, and to those who are nursing babies in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people; and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.â (Zec 12:2, 3; Luk 19:43; Luk 21:20-24)
- GREAT FAMINE HITS ISRAEL: Surrounding nations have destroyed Israelâs supply of food and the surrounding land. It has made the Lordâs vine a waste And His fig tree a stump. It has stripped them bare and hurled them away; Their branches have become white. The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, The ministers of the LORD. The field is ruined, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine has dried up, Fresh oil has failed.The seeds have dried up and the storehouses have become desolate. The grain silos are ruined because the grain has dried up. The animals have groaned! The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep have suffered. Fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned up all the trees of the field. (Joe 1:6-10, 17-20)
- A CALL TO REPENTANCE: Priests and ministers of the altar are called to spend the night in sackcloth, to consecrate a fast, and to proclaim a solemn assembly. They are summoned to gather the elders of Israel and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD God, And cry out to the LORD. (Joe 1:13,14)
_______________________________
THE DAY OF THE LORD (IS NOT AN ACTUAL SINGLE DAY BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME FOR THE 6TH TRUMPET AND FOR THE ARMIES TO COMPLETE MOVING INTO PLACE IN THE VALLEY OF MEGGIDO):
- THE DAY WILL COME UPON THE WORLD UNEXPECTEDLY: It comes just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, âPeace and safety!â then sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. (1Th 5:2, 3)
- JUDAH JOINS THE FIGHT TO PROTECT JERUSALEM: Judah also will fight at Jerusalem (Zec 14:14)
- JERUSALEM IS ATTACKED BY ALL NATIONS:Â All the nations will be gathered against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the other half of the people will not be eliminated from the city. They will level you to the ground, and throw down your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another. (Zec 14:2; Luk 19:44)
- 2/3rds OF JEWS SLAUGHTERED:Â That two parts of the Jewish people in all the land will be cut off and die; But a third of Jews will be left in it.âAnd I will bring the third part through the fire, Refine them as silver is refined, And test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, And I will answer them; I will say, âThey are My people,â And they will say, âThe LORD is my God.ââ (Zec 13:8-9)
- (LAMENTATION: Read the book of Lamentation as a prophetic parallel of what is to come on the Day of the Lord. âYou called as on the day of an appointed feast My terrors on every side; And there was no one who survived or escaped On the day of the LORDâS anger. As for those whom I brought forth healthy and whom I raised, My enemy annihilated them.â (Lam 2:22))
- A REMNANT OF ISRAEL WILL REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS CHRIST: Israel will not see Jesus until they say, âBLESSED IS THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!â (Mat 23:39) So under these circumstances Judah and Jerusalem repent for rejecting Jesus as their Messiah.
- LUMINARIES ARE DISRUPTED: On that day there will be no light; the luminaries will die out. For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at the time of evening there will be light. A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. The Lord will make the sun go down at noon, And make the earth dark in broad daylight. For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not flash their light; The sun will be dark when it rises And the moon will not shed its light. That day is a day of anger, A day of trouble and distress, A day of destruction and desolation, A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky. (Zec 14:6-7; Joe 2:2; Joe 315; Amo 8:9; Isa 13:10; Zep 1:15; Mat 24:29)
- THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN, THE LORD, COMING IN THE SKY: Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory. The Lord rides on a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From the Lordâs mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written: âKING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.â (Mat 24:30; Rev 19:11-16)
- ISRAEL THEN SEES JESUS IN THE SKY: The Spirit of grace and of pleading will fall on Judah and Jerusalem so that they will look at Jesus whom they pierced; and they will mourn for Him, like one mourning for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn. âOn that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be great, like the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the plain of Megiddo. âThe land will mourn, every family by itself; the family of the house of David by itself and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Nathan by itself and their wives by themselves; the family of the house of Levi by itself and their wives by themselves; the family of the Shimeites by itself and their wives by themselves; all the families that are left, every family by itself, and their wives by themselves. (Zec 12:10-14)
- A STORM AND CLOUDS ARE BELOW HIM: In the gale and the storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet. (Nah 1:3)
- THE SPENDOR OF THE LORD IS SEEN: God comes from Teman, And the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His splendor covers the heavens, And the earth is full of His praise. His radiance is like the sunlight; He has rays flashing from His hand, And the hiding of His might is there.(Hab 3:3-4)
- THE LORD ROARS: The LORD roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem. (Joe 3:16)
- THE LORDâS QUAKE: The heavens and the earth quake. Mountains quake because of Him, And the hills come apart; Indeed the earth is upheaved by His presence, The world and all the inhabitants in it. Who can stand before His indignation? Who can endure the burning of His anger? His wrath gushes forth like fire, And the rocks are broken up by Him. The mountains saw You and quaked; The downpour of waters swept by. The deep raised its voice, It lifted high its hands. The Lord will make the heavens tremble, And the earth will be shaken from its place At the fury of the LORD of armies In the day of His burning anger. The powers of the heavens will be shaken. (Joe 3:16; Nah 1:5,6; Hab 3:10; Isa 13:13; Mat 24:29)
- THE RESURRECTION: The Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET BLAST, and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other. (1 Thess 4:15,16; Mat 24:31)
- THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH: we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. (1 Thess 4:17) The Church is raptured because we are not appointed unto wrath which is immediately to follow (1Th 5:9)
- THOSE WHO FEAR WILL REJOICE: But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and frolic like calves from the stall. âAnd you will crush the wicked underfoot, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I am preparing,â says the LORD of armies.(Mal 4:2-3)
- THE WRATH OF THE LORD BEGINS: A jealous and avenging God is the LORD; The LORD is avenging and wrathful. The LORD takes vengeance on His adversaries, And He reserves wrath for His enemies. All the nations will drink continually. They will drink to the last drop, And become as if they had never existed. âIt will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,â declares the Lord GOD, âthat My fury will mount up in My anger. âIn My zeal and in My blazing wrath I declare that on that day there will certainly be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. âThe fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the animals of the field, all the crawling things that crawl on the earth, and all mankind who are on the face of the earth will shake at My presence; and the mountains will be thrown down, the steep pathways will collapse, and every wall will fall to the ground.  (Nah 1:2,3; Oba 1:16; Eze 38:18-20)
- 1ST BOWL – SOARS: Harmful and painful sore afflicted the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image. (Rev 16:2)
- 2ND BOWL – SEA BECOMES BLOOD: The sea became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died. (Rev 16:3)
- 3RD BOWL – RIVER BECOME BLOOD: Rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood. (Rev 16:4)
- 4TH BOWL – SUN SCORCHES: The sun was given power to scorch people with fire. And the people were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory. (Rev 16:8-9)
- 5TH BOWL – DARKNESS ON THE BEAST KINGDOM: The throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain, and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pain and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. (Rev 16:10-11)
- 6TH BOWL – THE EUPHRATES DRIES UP: The sixth angel will pour out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water will dry up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. Evil spirits will cause the kings of the whole world to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon. (Rev 16:12-16)
- THE LORD REBUKES THE SEAS: He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, The blossoms of Lebanon wither. Did the LORD rage against the rivers, Or was Your anger against the rivers, Or was Your rage against the sea, That You rode on Your horses, On Your chariots of salvation? (Nah 1:4; Hab 3:8 )
- THE LORDâS PRESENCE WILL MELT THE MOUNTAINS: The LORD is coming forth from His place. He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth. The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place. Fire goes before Him And burns up His adversaries round about. His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled. The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory. (Mic 1:3,4; Psa 97:3-6)
- JESUS TOUCHES DOWN: His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east (Zec 14:4)
- THE PLAGUE OF THE LORD: Before Him goes plague, And plague comes forth after Him. (Hab 3:5)
- THE LAND RIPPLES LIKE THE WAVES OF THE NILE RIVER: The Lord GOD of armies, the One who touches the land so that it quakes, and all those who live in it mourn, and all of it rises up like the Nile And subsides like the Nile of Egypt. He stood and caused the earth to shudder; He looked and caused the nations to jump. Yes, the everlasting mountains were shattered, The ancient hills collapsed. His paths are everlasting. (Amo 9:5;Hab 3:6)
- THE MOUNT OF OLIVES SPLITS IN TWO: the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward the north, and the other half toward the south. (Zec 14:4)
- THE LORDâS WRATH BEGINS AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS: The Lordâs sword shall descend for judgment upon Edom, And upon the people whom He has designated for destruction. The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It drips with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom. Its streams will be turned into pitch, And its loose earth into brimstone, And its land will become burning pitch. It will not be extinguished night or day; Its smoke will go up forever. From generation to generation it will be desolate; None will pass through it forever and ever. âWho is this who comes from Edom, With garments of glowing colors from Bozrah, This One who is majestic in His apparel, Marching in the greatness of His strength? âIt is I, the One who speaks in righteousness, mighty to save.â Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like one who treads in the wine press? âI have trodden the wine trough alone, And from the peoples there was no one with Me. I also trod them in My anger And trampled them in My wrath; And their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, And I stained all My clothes. âFor the day of vengeance was in My heart, And My year of redemption has come.  âI looked, but there was no one to help, And I was astonished and there was no one to uphold; So My own arm brought salvation to Me, And My wrath upheld Me. âI trampled down the peoples in My anger And made them drunk with My wrath, And I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.â  (Isa 34:5-6, 9-10; Isa 63:1-6)
- THE LORD FIGHTS AGAINST THE INVADERS: Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. In indignation You marched through the earth; In anger You trampled the nations.  You went forth for the salvation of Your people, For the salvation of Your anointed. You smashed the head of the house of evil To uncover him from foot to neck. (Zec 14:3; Hab 3:12-13)
- STRUCK WITH CONFUSION: The Lord will strike every horse, of the nations surrounding Judah first then Jerusalem, with confusion and its rider with insanity. The Lord will strike every horse of the nations with blindness. They will be struck by the Lord with confusion and blindness so that they attack one another. The Lord will protect Judah first then Jerusalem. A great panic from the LORD will fall on them; and they will seize one anotherâs hand, and the hand of one will be raised against the hand of another. (Zec 12:4,7; 14:3)Â
- THE NATIONS WILL FLEE THROUGH THE VALLEY PASS:Â When they see Jesus, they will flee by the valley of the Lordâs mountains. (Zec 14:5)
- A SWORD WILL BE SUMMONED FOR THE ANTICHRIST: Awake, sword, against [the evil] Shepherd, And against the Man, My Associate. (Zec 13:7)
- SUMMONING THE BIRDS TO FEAST ON THE DEAD: âThen I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in midheaven, âCome, assemble for the great feast of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, and small and great.â (Rev 19:17-18)
- THE ANTICHRIST WILL BE DESTROYED BY JESUS: The lawless one will be eliminated with the breath of Jesusâ mouth and brought to an end by the appearance of His coming. The false shepherd/antichrist is struck down first then his followers are destroyed next. The Lord will call for a sword against him on all His mountains, and every manâs sword will be against his brother. âYou will fall on the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops, and the peoples who are with you; I will give you as food to every kind of predatory bird and animal of the field. âYou will fall on the open field; for it is I who have spoken,â declares the Lord GOD.â âAnd I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, assembled to make war against Him who sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire, which burns with brimstone. (2Th 2:8; Zec 13:7; Eze 38:21; Eze 39:4-5; Rev 19:19-20)
- JESUS WILL PURSUE THE NATIONS WITH ALL HIS HOLY ONES: Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him. From there the Lord will command the sword and it will kill them, And the Lord will set His eyes against them for harm and not for good. There fire will consume them, The sword will cut them down; It will consume them as the creeping locust consumes a crop. “the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with HimâŠ.â The Lord commanded His consecrated ones, He has also called for His warriors Who boast in His eminence, To execute His anger.  A sound of a roar on the mountains, Like that of many people! A sound of an uproar of kingdoms, Of nations gathered together! The LORD of armies musters the army for battle. The Lordâs army comes from a distant country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and the weapons of His indignation, To destroy the whole land. âWail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.” (Zec 14:5; Nah 3:15; Mat 25:31; Isa 13:3-6)
- THE TERROR OF THE NATIONS: All hands will fall limp, And every human heart will melt. They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame. âBehold, the day of the LORD is coming, Cruel, with fury and burning anger, To make the land a desolation; And He will exterminate its sinners from it.â (Isa 13:7-9)
- NATIONS RUN TO THE SEAS: The Lord will remove the northern army far from Israel, and He will drive it into a dry and desolate land, its advance guard into the eastern sea, and its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will ascend and its odor of decay will come up. (Joe 2:20)
- BURNING LIKE A FURNACE: The Lord will rise up as a witness. Indeed, His decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them His indignation, All His burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of the Lordâs zeal. âFor behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace; and all the arrogant and every evildoer will be chaff; and the day that is coming will set them ablaze,â says the LORD of armies, âso that it will leave them neither root nor branches.â (Zep 3:8; Mal 4:1 )
- THE PLAGUE OF JERUSALEMâS ATTACKERS: Now this will be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have gone to war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongue will rot in their mouth. And just like this plague, there will be a plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, the donkey, and all the cattle that will be in those camps. (Zec 14:12, 15)
- GAZA ABANDONDED AND THE PALESTINIANS DECIMATED BY THE LORD: For Gaza will be abandoned, And Ashkelon will become a desolation; The inhabitants of Ashdod will be driven out at noon, And Ekron will be uprooted. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will eliminate you So that there will be no inhabitant. (Zep 2:4-5)
- JORDANIANS AND PALESTINIANS DESTROYED: Moab will assuredly be like Sodom, And the sons of Ammon like Gomorrahâ Ground overgrown with weeds and full of salt mines, And a permanent desolation. The remnant of the Lordâs people will plunder them, And the remainder of His nation will inherit them. This they will have in return for their arrogance, because they have taunted and boasted against the people of the LORD of armies. (Zep 2:9-10)
- SUDANESE, SYRIAN, AND IRAQI PEOPLE FALL BY THE SWORD: âYou Ethiopians, will be slain by the Lordâs sword.â And He will stretch out His hand against the north And eliminate Assyria, And He will make Nineveh a desolation, Parched like the wilderness. (Zep 2:12-13)
- THE SWORD FOR THE ENEMIES OF THE LORD: And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of the Lord who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh. (Rev 19:21)
- THEY RUN BUT CANNOT HIDE: Though they dig into Sheol, From there The Lordâs hand will take them; And though they ascend to heaven, From there the Lord will bring them down. And though they hide on the summit of Carmel, the Lord will track them down and take them from there; And though they hide themselves from the Lordâs sight on the bottom of the sea, He will command the serpent from there, and it will bite them. And though they go into captivity before their enemies. (Amo 9:2-4)
- DEAD BODIES: The sound of the whip, The sound of the roar of the wheel, Galloping horses And bounding chariots! Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many killed, a mass of corpses, And there is no end to the dead bodiesâ They stumble over the dead bodies! The slain will be thrown out, And their corpses will give off their stench, And the mountains will be drenched with their blood. (Nah 3:2-3; Isa 34:3)
- DESTRUCTION OF THE NATIONS: The Lord will destroy the nations that came against Judah and Jerusaelm (Zec 12:9)
- 7TH BOWL – PLAGUE OF HUGE HAIL STONES AND FIRE: And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since mankind came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty. The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath. And every island fled, and no mountains were found. And huge hailstones, weighing about a talent each, *came down from heaven upon people; and people blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because the hailstone plague *was extremely severe. âWith plague and with blood I will enter into judgment with him; and I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, hailstones, fire, and brimstone.  (Rev 16:18-21; Eze 38:22)
- BIRDS FEAST ON THE DEAD:  âNow as for you, son of man, this is what the Lord GOD says: âSay to every kind of bird and to every animal of the field: âAssemble and come, gather from every direction to My sacrifice, which I am going to sacrifice for you as a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel; and you will eat flesh and drink blood. âYou will eat the flesh of warriors and drink the blood of the leaders of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls, all of them fattened livestock of Bashan.  âSo you will eat fat until you are full, and drink blood until you are drunk, from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. âYou will eat your fill at My table with horses and charioteers, with warriors and all the men of war,â declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 39:17-20)
- THE BATTLEFIELD WILL HAVE NEARLY NONE LEFT ALIVE: The Lord will punish the world for its evil And the wicked for their wrongdoing; He will also put an end to the audacity of the proud And humiliate the arrogance of the tyrants. He will make mortal man scarcer than pure gold and mankind than the gold of Ophir. (Isa 13:11-12)
- THE JUDGEMENT AGAINST THE LAND OF OTHER NATIONS: The Lord will send a sword upon Egypt, And there will be trembling in Sudan; When the slain fall in Egypt, They will take away her wealth, And her foundations will be torn down. Sudan, Libya, Lud, all Arabia, Libya and the people of the land that is in league will fall with them by the sword. âThis is what the LORD says: âIndeed, those who support Egypt will fall And the pride of her power will come down; From Migdol to Syene They will fall within her by the sword,â Declares the Lord GOD.  âThey will be desolate In the midst of the desolated lands; And her cities will be In the midst of the devastated cities. âAnd they will know that I am the LORD, When I set a fire in Egypt And all her helpers are broken.â (Eze 30:4-19)
- JEWS WILL SPEAK TO JESUS:Â âAnd someone will say to him, âWhat are these wounds between your arms?â Then he will say, âThose with which I was wounded at the house of my friends.â (Zec 13:6)
- WATERS FOR CLEANSING OPENED: A fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for defilement. And on that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter. (Zec 13:1; Zec 14:8)Â
- THE LORD IS KING OVER ALL THE EARTH: The LORD will be King over all the earth; on that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one. (Zec 14:9)

(Zec 14:10)

- IDOLATRY WILL BE CUT OFF: The Lord will eliminate the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and He will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible.â (Zec 13:2; Nah 1:14 )
