                       A day of clouds and thick darkness,
                16     A day of trumpet and battle cry
                       Against the fortified cities
                       And the high corner towers.
                17     I will bring distress on men
                       So that they will walk like the blind,
                       Because they have sinned against the LORD;
                       And their blood will be poured out like dust
                       And their flesh like dung.
                18     Neither their silver nor their gold
                       Will be able to deliver them
                       On the day of the LORD’S wrath;
                       And all the earth will be devoured
                       In the fire of His jealousy,
                       For He will make a complete end,
                       Indeed a terrifying one,
                       Of all the inhabitants of the earth.
                1       Gather yourselves together, yes, gather,
                       O nation without shame,
                2      Before the decree takes effect—
                       The day passes like the chaff—
                       Before the burning anger of the LORD comes upon you,
                                                                           75
                       Before the day of the LORD’S anger comes upon you.”


              The description is almost incomprehensible due to the destruction described as the great “Day of the Lord.”  It is
              like a battle of God’s Wrath, day of trouble (Jacob’s trouble: Jeremiah 30:7), a day of waste and desolation, a day
              of darkness and gloom and a day of clouds and thick darkness, which is described in this passage. Likewise, the
              “Day of the Lord” is also referred to as the Final Wrath of God.

              Justice will ultimately triumph in the End Times. This is when Christ returns with His Army of immortals, who
              are clothed in fine white linen to conquer all evil in the world which is from Revelation 19:11-14. God’s wrath is
              symbolized by the Constellation of Leo, the Lion in the heavens. Until, Leo shows up in the heavens we will see
              the Constellation of Orion, the “True Shepherd” seen.

              We shall use the timeline below as a reference to prophetic events going forward in this book. We will also revise
              the timeline when we see the Wrath of God coming and update the timeline with the Day of the Lord. The
              assumption by Bible scholars is that the Day of the Lord begins with the Abomination of Desolation of the Holy
              Temple in Jerusalem. We will show that the Day of the Lord and the Great Tribulation start after the Rapture of
              His Bride from this earth.
