On that day the LORD Almighty will humble everyone who is powerful, everyone who is proud and conceited.

The day of the LORD is near, the day when the Almighty brings destruction. What terror that day will bring!

Blow the trumpet; sound the alarm on Zion, God's sacred hill. Tremble, people of Judah! The day of the LORD is coming soon.

The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn red as blood before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.

Thousands and thousands are in the Valley of Judgment. It is there that the day of the LORD will soon come.

"But before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes, I will send you the prophet Elijah.

you are to hand this man over to Satan for his body to be destroyed, so that his spirit may be saved in the Day of the Lord.

(SEE 1:13)

Remember the angels who did not stay within the limits of their proper authority, but abandoned their own dwelling place: they are bound with eternal chains in the darkness below, where God is keeping them for that great Day on which they will be condemned.

Watch out, then, because you do not know what day your Lord will come.

If the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, you can be sure that he would stay awake and not let the thief break into his house.

And you can be sure that if the owner of a house knew the time when the thief would come, he would not let the thief break into his house.

For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief comes at night.

Remember, then, what you were taught and what you heard; obey it and turn from your sins. If you do not wake up, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not even know the time when I will come.

"Listen! I am coming like a thief ! Happy is he who stays awake and guards his clothes, so that he will not walk around naked and be ashamed in public!"

They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes. You will discard them like clothes, and they will vanish.

Look up at the heavens; look at the earth! The heavens will disappear like smoke; the earth will wear out like old clothing, and all its people will die like flies. But the deliverance I bring will last forever; my victory will be final.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope

They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes.

You will fold them up like a coat, and they will be changed like clothes. But you are always the same, and your life never ends."

Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sits on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence and were seen no more.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth disappeared, and the sea vanished.

as you wait for the Day of God and do your best to make it come soon---the Day when the heavens will burn up and be destroyed, and the heavenly bodies will be melted by the heat.

Nations are terrified, kingdoms are shaken; God thunders, and the earth dissolves.

The hills melt like wax before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.

The Sovereign LORD Almighty touches the earth, and it quakes; all who live there mourn. The whole world rises and falls like the Nile River.

"The days are coming," says the LORD, "when grain will grow faster than it can be harvested, and grapes will grow faster than the wine can be made. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with it.

Mountains quake in the presence of the LORD; hills melt before him. The earth shakes when the LORD appears; the world and all its people tremble.

But the heavens and the earth that now exist are being preserved by the same command of God, in order to be destroyed by fire. They are being kept for the day when godless people will be judged and destroyed.
