It runs from 2022Adar16, when the 3rd Holy Spirit is appointed over Zoar, to 2023Shebat14, the absolute end of Adam. The skies go dark due to being filled with volcanic ash on 2023Elul24, the first of the 40 nights of the lava flood for 40+40 days+nights from 2023Ab14 to 2023Heshvan3/4. The darkness lasts for 4 months of the sentence count of Joel 2:2 to 2022Tebbeth, the last month of Zoar. It is the period of God shielding Abraham and constructive Abraham (the sons of the 1AC) from the machinations of the Dragon who is let off his 1,000 day chain from 2019Iyyar20, on 2021Shebat30.
The sad/great/epiphanaic day of Jehovah is a day of gloominess, darkness, thick cloud etc. This must result from a huge volcanic eruption which puts a worldwide ash cloud into the atmosphere. Here is the Mount Etna eruption of 2021February16/17 (2020Shebat29).
1 And during that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape [into the ark or out of Adam into Zoar or indeed out of Adam into Hades for resurrection on the 3rd day], every one who is found written down in the book [of Kingdom starter salvation]. (Daniel 12 NWT)
5 who are being safeguarded by God's power through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last appointed time [kairoj] [Peter's version of the Time of the End]. (1 Peter 1 NWT).
2 I shall without fail finish everything off the
surface of the ground, is the utterance of Jehovah.
3 I shall finish off earthling man and beast. I shall
finish off the flying creature of the heavens and the fishes of the sea, and the
stumbling blocks with the wicked ones; and I will cut off mankind from the
surface of the ground, is the utterance of Jehovah
|
14 The great day of Jehovah is near [1x], and
it is hurrying near(er) greatly [1x]. The sound of the sad day of Jehovah is
powerful crying out loud there [1x].
15 That day is a day of fury/outburst [1x], a day of distress
and [a day of] anguish [ 2x], a day of storm
and [a day of] desolation [ 2x], a day of darkness
and [a day of] gloominess [ 2x], a day of
cloud and [a day of] thick
gloom [ 2x],
16 a day of shofar/trumpet and alarm/terror signal [ 2x], upon the
inaccessible cities [] and [a day
of trumpet and alarm] upon the high corner
towers [a day of trumpet upon things and a day
of alarm upon things is 1x+1x =2x].
17 And I will cause distress to mankind, and they will certainly walk like blind
men; because it is against Jehovah that they have sinned. And their blood will actually be poured out like dust, and their bowels like the dung.
18 Neither
their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's
fury [which is the day of Jehovah, since
according to Joel that day is a day of fury]; but by the fire of his zeal the whole earth will be devoured, because he
will make an extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of
the earth [Yes, by the 'fire' of his
zeal. By Passover execution and by non 1AC Adam lava flood execution and by the
final failed 1AC execution on 2023Chislev14] (Zephaniah 1).
Israel = 12x. House of Israel = 1x.
Verse14: 1x+1x+1x = 3x
Verse15: 1x+2x+2x+2x+2x = 9x
Verse16: 1x + 1x = 2x
Verse 15-16: 9x+2x = 11x from 2022Adar16, 10th Zoar first fruits, when
the 3rd Holy Spirit is appointed over Zoar, to 2023shebat14, the absolute end of Adam.
The Day of Jehovah begins when Jehovah empowers the 2NCs, by joining them, after having clothed them with the gifts of the spirit, to enable them to respond to the provocations from the Dragon on 2022Shebat21, the late end of the LW 2NC Alienation Times. It runs until the end of the final extermination of Adam on 2023Shebat14., the 1st death Passover, the end of entry into the 1st death, the end of non kingdom citizens being alive upon the planet. Everyone on the planet cops it during these 11 months or enters into Zoar in which case they cop it by death to Adam and sleeping resurrection to non adamic Abraham. So one way or another we all die or pass away into the ark. Whereas the FRCs die by standing non adamic resurrection.
The LWs suspect that Jesus has already responded himself to Covid19 by creating Omicron - which even Bill Gates admits was a better vaccination than man could make..
First God adds the JWs to the LWs. Then he adds the 2NCs, then Laodicea, then the priests, then the 3rd Holy Spirit.
1 Blow ye a trumpet/shofar in Zion [3x:
for Rosh Hashana]
And shout ye in hill of holiness of me [3x:
for Rosh Hashana]
Let them tremble, all of ones sitting of the land [3x:
for
Rosh Hashana, the festival of trumpets, shouting and alarm, terror]
Because he comes, day of Jehovah [1x]
Because close (he is) [1x]
2 Day of darkness and gloom (he is) [2x]
Day of cloud and blackness (he is) [2x] (Joel 2
GLT)
Verse1: (3x+3x+3x).1x.(1x+2x+2x) = 45x From Isaaic Kingdom Rosh Hashana on
2022Shebat1 to 2022Adar16, the start of the day of Jehovah.
Like dawn spreading upon the mountains [is] a great and strong people. One like it
has not been made to exist from the indefinite past, and after it there will be
none again to the years of generation after generation (Joel 2:1-2)
Verse 2 has a count of 4x for darkness and gloominess and cloudiness as does Zephaniah 1:15. So these run as 4 months from start of the 40 nights of the lava flood on 2023Ab24 to 2022Tebbeth. Darkness and gloom and cloud and blackness - this is the volcanic and nuclear winter from the Great Tribulation and the lava flood.
2 a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and
thick darkness
as the dawn spread out on the mountains, a great and a strong
people. There has never been the like, nor shall there ever be again to the
years of many generations; (Joel 2 GLT)
11 The haughty eyes of earthling man must become low [2x], and
the loftiness of men must bow down [1x, bow
down is singular]; and Jehovah to separation of him, must be lifted
up in
that day [1x+1x=2x].
12 Because day to Jehovah armies [1x] upon everyone
self-exalted and lofty and upon everyone lifted up and low [3x.(1x+1x+1x+1x)=12x];
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon the lofty and the
lifted up and upon all the massive trees/oaks of Bashan [3x.3x=9x]
14 and upon all the lofty mountains and upon all the hills
the lifted up [3x.2x=6x]
15 and upon every high tower and upon every fortified wall
[3x.2x=6x];
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish and upon all boats
the desirable [3x.2x=6x]
17 And the haughtiness of the earthling man [1x]
must bow down, and the loftiness of men [1x]
[it] must become
low []; and Jehovah to/for part of
him must
be put on high in that day [1x]
18 And the valueless gods themselves will pass away
completely.
19 And people will enter into the caves of the rocks and
into the holes of the dust because of the dreadfulness of Jehovah and from his
splendid superiority, when he rises up for the earth to suffer shocks.
20 In that day the earthling man will throw his worthless
gods of silver and his valueless gods of gold that they had made for him to
bow before to the shrewmice/moles/burrowers and to the bats, (Isaiah 2 NWT adapted from the Hebrew).
Verse 11-17: 5x.1x+1x+12x+9x+6x+6x+6x+1x+1x+1x = 48x. From the start of the Day of Jehovah on 2022Adar16, to 2023Iyyar4. BUT the count continues.
Verse 20 Those who take the Covid-19 vaccine as a cure for a man made virus (a double CGG codon in a furin cleavage site does not occur in any natural virus) are seeking salvation from the genes of mice and bats whence it was made and whence the vaccine spikes are copied. Jehovah of Armies is put on high by the rapture of the FRCs, half of mankind. And ALL the meaningless status of man so beloved by women will be destroyed.
So putting Joel2 and Zephaniah1 and Isaiah2 together, the Day of Jehovah runs from 2022Adar16 to 2023shebat14, the absolute end of Adam. And it involves the collecting of the great and strong people, the Zoarites. Whereas the Day of the Dragon lasts for 42 months of Revelation13 from 2019Iyyar20 to 2022Heshvan14...
3 To face of it/Ahead of it [this
people] a fire has devoured, and behind it a flame consumes. Like the
garden of Eden the land is ahead of it; but behind it is a desolate wilderness,
and there has also proved to be nothing thereof escaping.
4 Its appearance is like the appearance of horses, and
like steeds is the way they keep running.
5 As with the sound of chariots on the tops of the
mountains they keep skipping about, as with the sound of a flaming fire that is
devouring stubble. It is like a mighty people, drawn up in battle order.
6 Because of it, peoples will be in severe pains. As for
all faces, they will certainly collect a glow [of excitement].
7 Like powerful men they run. Like men of war they go up a
wall. And they go each one in his own ways, and they do not alter their paths.
8 And one another they do not shove. As an able-bodied man
in his course, they keep going; and should some fall even among the missiles,
the [others] do not break off course.
9 Into the city they rush. On the wall they run. On the
houses they go up. Through the windows they go in like the thief. (Joel 2 NWT)
10 To face of it/at the start of it/before it [this
people] [the] land has become agitated
[by the plague of gnats, Black Lives Matter,
Antifa, Cancellers, COVID19, a fraudulent US election, a vote fraud protecting capitol
protest set up, unjustified lockdowns in order to force vaccination violating the
Nuremberg code], [the] heavens have rocked.
11 And Jehovah himself will certainly give forth his voice
before his military force, for his camp is very numerous. For he who is carrying
out his word is mighty; for the day of Jehovah is great and very fear-
inspiring, and who can hold up under it? (Joel 2 NWT)
30 And I [God
himself] will give portents in the heavens and on the
earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke [Lethal
volcanic eruptions].
31 The sun itself will be turned into darkness, and the
moon into blood, to face of/AT coming of day of Jehovah, the great and the fear-inspiring.
32 And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name
of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will
prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and in among the
survivors, whom Jehovah is calling (Joel 2 NWT).
19 And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below, blood and fire and smoke
mist,
20 the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood
BEFORE the great and
epiphanaic day of the Lord arrives (Acts 2 NWT)
So we get a darkened atmosphere full of volcanic ash (not from total solar or lunar eclipses) TO THE FACES OF the Great and Fearful day of Jehovah, which could be before or could be during it, and which in code terms is two days. And BEFORE the great and epiphanaic Day of the Lord (which presumably begins when Jesus becomes present by being baptised into 2NC Zoar on 2022Adar16). He takes over Zoar on 2023Iyyar5, the 10th Zoar Pentecost. The Day of the Lord ends on 2024Nisan5 = 2023Adar30, when he hands over the Kingdom of his God and father having brought to nothing the last enemy death, by resurrecting on 2023Shebat16, those last chance salooners Passover executed on 2023Shebat14, the 1st death Passover..
OR actually we could hand over Zoar on 2023Nisan5, Palm Monday, and then the Day of the Lord could run to 2024Nisan5? NO Elijah comes down with the chief of the 3rd 50, which chief is 2023Iyyar5.
22 'And you people must keep all my statutes and all my judicial decisions and do them, that the land to which I am bringing you to dwell in it may not vomit you out [the land vomits lava]. (Leviticus 20 NWT)
6 Howl, you people, for the day of Jehovah
is near! As a despoiling from the Almighty it will come.
7 That is why all hands themselves will drop down, and the
whole heart itself of mortal man will melt.
8 And people have become disturbed. Convulsions and birth
pains themselves grab hold; like a woman that is giving birth they have labor
pains. They look at each other in amazement. Their faces are inflamed faces.
9 Look! The day of Jehovah itself is coming, cruel both
with fury and with burning anger, in order to make the land an object of
astonishment, and that it may annihilate [the land's] sinners out of it.
10 For the very stars of the heavens and their
constellations of Kesil will not flash forth their light; the sun will actually
grow dark at its going forth, and the moon itself will not cause its light to
shine.
11 And I shall certainly bring home [its own] badness upon
the productive land, and their own error upon the wicked themselves. And I shall
actually cause the pride of the presumptuous ones to cease, and the haughtiness
of the tyrants I shall abase.
12 I shall make mortal man rarer than refined gold, and
earthling man [rarer] than the gold of Ophir.
13 That is why I shall cause heaven itself to become
agitated, and the earth will rock out of its place at the fury of Jehovah of
armies and at the day of his burning anger. (Isaiah 13 NWT)
25
Also, there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth anguish
of nations, not knowing the way out because of the roaring of the sea and
[its] agitation,
26 while men become faint out of fear and
expectation of the things coming upon the inhabited earth; for the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the Son of man
coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 But as these things start to occur, raise
yourselves erect and lift your heads up, because your deliverance is getting
near.
29 With that he spoke an illustration to
them: Note the fig tree and all the other trees:
30 When they are already in the bud [in
Adar/Nisan], by observing it you know for yourselves
that now the summer is near [6 month
Hebrew summer starts on Nisan16, 3 month Greek summer starts in Tammuz] (Luke 21).
21 for then there will
be great tribulation [within the time of distress]
such as has not occurred since the world's beginning until now, no, nor will
occur again.
22 In fact, unless those days were cut short [],
not all [chosen] flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short (Matthew
24).
For the full flavour of that day please read the chapters below.
1
The thing that Isaiah the son of Amoz visioned concerning Judah and Jerusalem:
2 And
it must occur in the final part of the days [that] the mountain of the house of
Jehovah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, and it
will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must
stream.
3 And many peoples will certainly go and
say: Come, you people, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house
of the God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in
his paths. For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of
Jerusalem.
4 And he will certainly render judgment
among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they
will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning
shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn
war anymore.
5 Oh men of the house of Jacob, come and
let us walk in the light of Jehovah.
6 For you have forsaken your people, the
house of Jacob. For they have become full of what is from the East, and they are
practicers of magic like the Philistines, and with the children of foreigners
they abound.
7 And their land is filled with silver and
gold, and there is no limit to their treasures. And their land is filled with
horses, and there is no limit to their chariots.
8 And their land is filled with valueless
gods. To the work of one's hands they bow down, to that which one's fingers have
made.
9 And earthling man bows down, and man
becomes low, and you cannot possibly pardon them.
10 Enter into the rock and hide yourself
in the dust because of the dreadfulness of Jehovah, and from his splendid
superiority.
11 The haughty eyes of earthling man must
become low, and the loftiness of men must bow down; and Jehovah alone must be
put on high in that day.
12 For it is the day belonging to
Jehovah of armies. It is upon everyone self-exalted and lofty and upon
everyone lifted up and low;
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon that
are lofty and lifted up and upon all the massive trees of Bashan;
14 and upon all the lofty mountains and
upon all the hills that are lifted up;
15 and upon every high tower and upon
every fortified wall;
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish and
upon all desirable boats.
17 And the haughtiness of the earthling
man must bow down, and the loftiness of men must become low; and Jehovah alone
must be put on high in that day.
18 And the valueless gods themselves will
pass away completely.
19 And people will enter into the caves of
the rocks and into the holes of the dust because of the dreadfulness of Jehovah
and from his splendid superiority, when he rises up for the earth to suffer
shocks.
20 In that day the earthling man will
throw his worthless gods of silver and his valueless gods of gold that they had
made for him to bow before to the shrewmice and to the bats,
21 in order to enter into the holes in the
rocks and into the clefts of the crags, because of the dreadfulness of Jehovah
and from his splendid superiority, when he rises up for the earth to suffer
shocks.
22 For your own sakes, hold off from the
earthling man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for on what basis is he himself
to be taken into account? (Isaiah 2).
1
The pronouncement against Babylon that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw in vision:
2 Upon a mountain of bare rocks raise up a
signal, you men. Lift up the voice to them, wave the hand, that they may come
into the entrances of the nobles.
3 I myself have issued the command to my
sanctified ones. I have also called my mighty ones for [expressing] my anger, my
eminently exultant ones.
4 Listen! A crowd in the mountains,
something like a numerous people! Listen! The uproar of kingdoms, of nations
gathered together! Jehovah of armies is mustering the army of war.
5 They are coming from the land far away,
from the extremity of the heavens, Jehovah and the weapons of his denunciation,
to wreck all the earth.
6 Howl, you people, for the day of
Jehovah is near! As a despoiling from the Almighty it will come.
7 That is why all hands themselves will
drop down, and the whole heart itself of mortal man will melt.
8 And people have become disturbed.
Convulsions and birth pains themselves grab hold; like a woman that is giving
birth they have labour pains. They look at each other in amazement. Their faces
are inflamed faces.
9 Look! The day of Jehovah itself
is coming, cruel both with fury and with burning anger, in order to make the
land an object of astonishment, and that it may annihilate [the land's] sinners
out of it.
10 For the very stars of the heavens and
their constellations of Kesil will not flash forth their light; the sun will
actually grow dark at its going forth, and the moon itself will not cause its
light to shine.
11 And I shall certainly bring home [its
own] badness upon the productive land, and their own error upon the wicked
themselves. And I shall actually cause the pride of the presumptuous ones to
cease, and the haughtiness of the tyrants I shall abase.
12 I shall make mortal man rarer than
refined gold, and earthling man [rarer] than the gold of Ophir.
13 That is why I shall cause heaven itself
to become agitated, and the earth will rock out of its place at the fury of
Jehovah of armies and at the day of his burning anger.
14 And it must occur that, like a gazelle
chased away and like a flock without anyone to collect them together, they will
turn, each one to his own people; and they will flee, each one to his own land.
15 Every one that is found will be pierced
through, and every one that is caught in the sweep will fall by the sword;
16 and their very children will be dashed
to pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be pillaged, and their own wives
will be raped.
17 Here I am arousing against them the
Medes, who account silver itself as nothing and who, as respects gold, take no
delight in it.
18 And [their] bows will dash even young
men to pieces. And the fruitage of the belly they will not pity; for sons their
eye will not feel sorry.
19 And Babylon, the decoration of
kingdoms, the beauty of the pride of the Chaldeans, must become as when God
overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 She will never be inhabited, nor will
she reside for generation after generation. And there the Arab will not pitch
his tent, and no shepherds will let [their flocks] lie down there.
21 And there the haunters of waterless
regions will certainly lie down, and their houses must be filled with eagle
owls. And there the ostriches must reside, and goat-shaped demons themselves
will go skipping about there.
22 And jackals must howl in her dwelling
towers, and the big snake will be in the palaces of exquisite delight. And the
season for her is near to come, and her days themselves will not be postponed
(Isaiah 13).
1
And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying:
2 And as for you, Oh son of man, this is
what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said to the soil of Israel, 'An end, the
end, has come upon the 4 wings/extremities of the land.
3 Now the end is upon you, and I must send
my anger against you, and I will judge you according to your ways and bring upon
you all your detestable things.
4 And my eye will not feel sorry for you,
neither will I feel compassion, for upon you I shall bring your own ways, and in
the midst of you your own detestable things will come to be; and you people will
have to know that I am Jehovah.'
5 This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
has said, 'A calamity, a unique calamity, look! it is coming.
6 An end itself must come. The end must
come; it must awaken for you. Look! It is coming.
7 The garland must come to you, Oh
inhabiter of the land, the time must come, the day is near. There is confusion,
and not the shouting of the mountains.
8 'Now shortly I shall pour out my rage
upon you, and I will bring my anger against you to its finish, and I will judge
you according to your ways and bring upon you all your detestable things.
9 Neither will my eye feel sorry nor shall
I feel compassion. According to your ways shall I do the bringing upon you
yourself, and your own detestable things will come to be right in the midst of
you; and you people will have to know that I am Jehovah doing the smiting.
10 'Look! The day! Look! It is coming. The
garland has gone forth. The rod has blossomed. Presumptuousness has sprouted.
11 Violence itself has risen up into a rod
of wickedness. It is not from them, nor is it from their wealth; and it is not
from their own selves, nor is there any eminency in them.
12 The time must come, the day must
arrive. As regards the buyer, let him not rejoice; and as regards the seller,
let him not go into mourning, for there is hot feeling against all its crowd.
13 For to what was sold the seller himself
will not return, while their life is yet among the living ones; for the vision
is for all its crowd. No one will return, and they will not possess themselves
each one of his own life by his own error.
14 'They have blown the trumpet and there
has been a preparing of everybody, but there is no one going to the battle,
because my hot feeling is against all its crowd.
15 The sword is outside, and the
pestilence and the famine are inside. Whoever is in the field, by the sword he
will die, and whoever are in the city, famine and pestilence themselves will
devour them.
16 And their escapees will certainly make
their escape and become on the mountains like the doves of the valleys, all of
which are moaning, each one in his own error.
17 As for all the hands, they keep
dropping down; and as for all knees, they keep dripping with water.
18 And they have girded on sackcloth, and
shuddering has covered them; and on all faces there is shame and on all their
heads there is baldness.
19 'Into the streets they will throw their
very silver, and an abhorrent thing their own gold will become. Neither their
silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's
fury. Their souls they will not satisfy, and their intestines they will not
fill, for it has become a stumbling block causing their error.
20 And the decoration of one's ornament --
one has set it as reason for pride; and their detestable images, their
disgusting things, they have made with it. That is why I will make it to them an
abhorrent thing.
21 And I will give it into the hand of the
strangers for plunder and to the wicked ones of the earth for spoil, and they
will certainly profane it.
22 'And I shall have to turn away my face
from them, and they will actually profane my concealed place, and into it
robbers will really come and profane it.
23 'Make the chain, for the land itself
has become full of bloodstained judgment and the city itself has become full of
violence.
24 And I will bring in the worst ones of
the nations, and they will certainly take possession of their houses, and I will
cause the pride of the strong ones to cease, and their sanctuaries must be
profaned.
25 There will come anguish, and they will
certainly seek peace but there will be none.
26 There will come adversity upon
adversity, and there will occur report upon report, and people will actually
seek a vision from a prophet, and the law itself will perish from a priest and
counsel from elderly men.
27 The king himself will go into mourning;
even a chieftain will clothe himself with desolation, and the very hands of the
people of the land will get disturbed. According to their way I shall act toward
them, and with their judgments I shall judge them; and they will have to know
that I am Jehovah (Ezekiel 7).
1
And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying:
2 Son of man, prophesy concerning the
prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you must say to those prophesying
out of their own heart, 'Hear the word of Jehovah.
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah
has said: Woe to the stupid prophets, who are walking after their own spirit,
when there is nothing that they have seen!
4 Like foxes in the devastated places are
what your own prophets have become, Oh Israel.
5 you men will certainly not go up into
the gaps, neither will you build up a stone wall in behalf of the house of
Israel, in order to stand in the battle in the day of Jehovah.
6 They have visioned what is untrue and a
lying divination, those who are saying, 'The utterance of Jehovah is,' when
Jehovah himself has not sent them, and they have waited to have a word come
true.
7 Is
it not an untrue vision that you men have visioned, and a lying divination that
you have said, when saying, 'The utterance of Jehovah is,' when I myself have
spoken nothing?'
8 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah has said: 'For the reason that you men have spoken untruth and you
have visioned a lie, therefore here I am against you,' is the utterance of the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
9 And my hand has come to be against the
prophets that are visioning untruth and that are divining a lie. In the intimate
group of my people they will not continue on, and in the register of the house
of Israel they will not be written, and to the soil of Israel they will not
come; and you people will have to know that I am the Sovereign Lord Jehovah,
10 for the reason, yes, for the reason
that they have led my people astray, saying, There is peace! when there is no
peace, and there is one that is building a partition wall, but in vain there are
those plastering it with whitewash.'
11 Say to those plastering with whitewash
that it will fall. A flooding downpour will certainly occur, and you, Oh
hailstones, will fall, and a blast of windstorms itself will cause a splitting.
12 And, look! the wall must fall. Will it
not be said to you men, 'Where is the coating with which you did the
plastering?'
13 Therefore this is what the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah has said, 'I will also cause a blast of windstorms to burst forth
in my rage, and in my anger there will occur a flooding downpour, and in rage
there will be hailstones for an extermination.
14 And I will tear down the wall that you
men have plastered with whitewash and bring it into contact with the earth, and
its foundation must be exposed. And she will certainly fall, and you must come
to an end in the midst of her; and you will have to know that I am Jehovah.'
15 'And I will bring my rage to its finish
upon the wall and upon those plastering it with whitewash, and I shall say to
you men: The wall is no more, and those plastering it are no more,
16 the prophets of Israel that are
prophesying to Jerusalem and that are visioning for her a vision of peace, when
there is no peace,' is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.
17 And as for you, Oh son of man, set your
face against the daughters of your people who are acting as prophetesses out of
their own heart, and prophesy against them.
18 And you must say, 'This is what the
Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: Woe to the women sewing bands together upon all
elbows and making veils upon the head of every size in order to hunt souls! Are
the souls that you women hunt down the ones belonging to my people, and the
souls belonging to you the ones that you preserve alive?
19 And will you profane me toward my
people for the handfuls of barley and for the morsels of bread, in order to put
to death the souls that ought not to die and in order to preserve alive the
souls that ought not to live by your lie to my people, the hearers of a lie?'
20 Therefore this is what the Sovereign
Lord Jehovah has said, 'Here I am against the bands of you women, with which you
are hunting down the souls as though they were flying things, and I will rip
them from off your arms and let go the souls that you are hunting down, souls as
though they were flying things.
21 And I will rip away your veils and
deliver my people out of your hand, and they will no more prove to be in your
hand something caught in the hunt; and you will have to know that I am Jehovah.
22 By reason of dejecting the heart of a
righteous one with falsehood, when I myself had not caused him pain, and for
making the hands of a wicked one strong so that he would not turn back from his
bad way in order to preserve him alive,
23 therefore untruth you women will not
keep on visioning, and divination you will divine no longer; and I will deliver
my people out of your hand, and you will have to know that I am Jehovah (Ezekiel
13).

Blow a horn in Zion, Oh men, and shout a war cry in my holy mountain. Let all
the inhabitants of the land get agitated; for the day of Jehovah is
coming, for it is near!
2 It is a day of darkness and gloominess,
a day of clouds and thick gloom, like light of dawn spread out upon the
mountains. There is a people numerous and mighty; one like it has not been made
to exist from the indefinite past, and after it there will be none again to the
years of generation after generation.
3 Ahead of it a fire has devoured, and
behind it a flame consumes. Like the garden of Eden the land is ahead of it; but
behind it is a desolate wilderness, and there has also proved to be nothing
thereof escaping.
4 Its appearance is like the appearance of
horses, and like steeds is the way they keep running.
5 As with the sound of chariots on the
tops of the mountains they keep skipping about, as with the sound of a flaming
fire that is devouring stubble. It is like a mighty people, drawn up in battle
order.
6 Because of it, peoples will be in severe
pains. As for all faces, they will certainly collect a glow [of excitement].
7 Like powerful men they run. Like men of
war they go up a wall. And they go each one in his own ways, and they do not
alter their paths.
8 And one another they do not shove. As an
able-bodied man in his course, they keep going; and should some fall even among
the missiles, the [others] do not break off course.
9 Into the city they rush. On the wall
they run. On the houses they go up. Through the windows they go in like the
thief.
10 Before it [the] land has become
agitated, [the] heavens have rocked. Sun and moon themselves have become dark,
and the very stars have withdrawn their brightness.
11 And Jehovah himself will certainly give
forth his voice before his military force, for his camp is very numerous. For he
who is carrying out his word is mighty; for the day of Jehovah is great
and very fear-inspiring, and who can hold up under it?
12 And now also, the utterance of Jehovah
is, come back to me with all your hearts, and with fasting and with weeping and
with wailing.
13 And rip apart your hearts, and not your
garments; and come back to Jehovah your God, for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness, and he will certainly feel regret
on account of the calamity.
14 Who is there knowing whether he will
turn back and actually feel regret and let remain after it a blessing, a grain
offering and a drink offering for Jehovah your God?
15 Blow a horn in Zion, Oh men. Sanctify a
time of fasting. Call together a solemn assembly.
16 Gather [the] people together. Sanctify
a congregation. Collect [the] old men together. Gather children and those
sucking the breasts together. Let [the] bridegroom go forth from his interior
room, and [the] bride from her nuptial chamber.
17 Between the porch and the altar let the
priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep and say, 'Do feel sorry, Oh Jehovah, for
your people, and do not make your inheritance a reproach, for nations to rule
over them. Why should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?'
18 And Jehovah will be zealous for his
land and will show compassion upon his people.
19 And Jehovah will answer and say to his
people, 'Here I am sending to you the grain and the new wine and the oil, and
you people will certainly be satisfied with it; and I shall not make you anymore
a reproach among the nations.
20 And the northerner I shall put far away
from upon you, and I shall actually disperse him to a waterless land and
desolated waste, with his face to the eastern sea and his rear section to the
western sea. And the stink from him will certainly ascend, and the stench from
him will keep ascending; for He will actually do a great thing in what He does.'
21 Do not be fearful, Oh ground. Be joyful
and rejoice; for Jehovah will actually do a great thing in what He does.
22 Do not be fearful, you beasts of the
open field, for the pasture grounds of [the] wilderness will certainly grow
green. For the tree will actually give its fruitage. The fig tree and the vine
must give their vital energy.
23 And, you sons of Zion, be joyful and
rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he will be bound to give you the autumn rain in
right measure, and he will bring down upon you people a downpour, autumn rain
and spring rain, as at the first.
24 And the threshing floors must be full
of [cleansed] grain, and the press vats must overflow with new wine and oil.
25 And I will make compensation to you for
the years that the locust, the creeping, unwinged locust, and the cockroach and
the caterpillar have eaten, my great military force that I have sent among you.
26 And you will certainly eat, eating and
becoming satisfied, and you will be bound to praise the name of Jehovah your
God, who has done with you so wonderfully; and my people will not be ashamed to
time indefinite.
27 And you people will have to know that I
am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God and there is no other.
And my people will not be ashamed to time indefinite.
28 And after that it must occur that I
shall pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your
daughters will certainly prophesy. As for your old men, dreams they will dream.
As for your young men, visions they will see.
29 And even on the menservants and on the
maidservants in those days I shall pour out my spirit.
30 And I will give portents in the heavens
and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
31 The sun itself will be turned into
darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and
fear-inspiring day of Jehovah.
32 And it must occur that everyone who
calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe; for in Mount Zion and in
Jerusalem there will prove to be the escaped ones, just as Jehovah has said, and
in among the survivors, whom Jehovah is calling (Joel 2).
1
Hear this word that I am taking up over you people as a dirge, Oh house of
Israel:
2 The virgin, Israel, has fallen; She
cannot get up again. She has been forsaken upon her own ground; There is no one
raising her up.
3 For this is what the Sovereign Lord
Jehovah has said, 'The very city that was going forth with 1,000 will have 100
left; and the one going forth with 100 will have 10 left, for the house of
Israel.'
4 For this is what Jehovah has said to the
house of Israel, 'Search for me, and keep living.
5 And do not search for Bethel, and to
Gilgal you must not come, and to Beer-sheba you must not pass over; because
Gilgal itself will without fail go into exile; and as regards Bethel, it will
become something uncanny.
6 Search for Jehovah, and keep living,
that he may not become operative just like fire, Oh house of Joseph, and it may
not actually devour, and Bethel may not be with no one to extinguish [it],
7 Oh you who are turning justice into mere
wormwood, and the ones who have cast righteousness itself to the earth.
8 The Maker of the Kimah constellation and
the Kesil constellation, and the One turning deep shadow into the morning
itself, and the One who has made day itself dark as night, the One calling for
the waters of the sea, that he may pour them out upon the surface of the earth
-- Jehovah is his name;
9 he who is causing a despoiling to flash
forth upon someone strong, that despoiling itself may come upon even a fortified
place.
10 'In the gate they have hated a reprover,
and a speaker of perfect things they detest.
11 Therefore, for the reason that you are
extracting farm rent from someone lowly, and the tribute of grain you keep
taking from him; houses of hewn stone you have built, but you will not keep
dwelling in them; and desirable vineyards you have planted, but you will not
keep drinking the wine of them.
12 For I have known how many your revolts
are and how mighty your sins are, Oh you who are showing hostility toward
someone righteous, you who are taking hush money, and the ones who have turned
aside poor people even in the gate.
13 Therefore the very one having insight
will in that time keep silent, for it will be a calamitous time.
14 'Search for what is good, and not what
is bad, to the end that you people may keep living; and that thus Jehovah the
God of armies may come to be with you, just as you have said.
15 Hate what is bad, and love what is
good, and give justice a place in the gate. It may be that Jehovah the God of
armies will show favor to the remaining ones of Joseph.'
16 Therefore this is what Jehovah the God
of armies, Jehovah, has said, 'In all the public squares there will be wailing,
and in all the streets people will be saying: Ah! Ah! And they will have to call
a farmer to mourning, and to wailing those experienced in lamentation.'
17 'And in all vineyards there will be
wailing; for I shall pass through the midst of you,' Jehovah has said.
18 'Woe to those who are craving the day
of Jehovah! What, then, will the day of Jehovah mean to you people?
It will be darkness, and no light,
19 just as when a man flees because of the
lion, and the bear actually meets him; and [as when] he went into the house and
supported his hand against the wall, and the serpent bit him.
20 Will not the day of Jehovah be
darkness, and not light; and will it not have gloom, and not brightness?
21 I have hated, I have rejected your
festivals, and I shall not enjoy the smell of your solemn assemblies.
22 But if you people offer up to me whole
burnt offerings, even in your gift offerings I shall find no pleasure, and on
your communion sacrifices of fatlings I shall not look.
23 Remove from me the turmoil of your
songs; and the melodious sound of your stringed instruments may I not hear.
24 And let justice roll forth just like
waters, and righteousness like a constantly flowing torrent.
25 Was it sacrifices and gift offerings
that you people brought near to me in the wilderness for 40 years, Oh house of
Israel?
26 And you will certainly carry Sakkuth
your king and Kaiwan, your images, the star of your god, whom you made for
yourselves.
27 And I will cause you to go into exile
beyond Damascus,' he whose name is Jehovah the God of armies has said (Amos 5).
1
The word of Jehovah that occurred to Zephaniah the son of Cushi the son of
Gedaliah the son of Amariah the son of Hezekiah in the days of Josiah the son of
Amon the king of Judah:
2 I shall without fail finish everything
off the surface of the ground, is the utterance of Jehovah.
3 I shall finish off earthling man and
beast. I shall finish off the flying creature of the heavens and the fishes of
the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked ones; and I will cut off
mankind from the surface of the ground, is the utterance of Jehovah.
4 And I will stretch out my hand against
Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and I will cut off from this
place the remaining ones of the Baal, the name of the foreign-god priests along
with the priests,
5 and those who are bowing down upon the
roofs to the army of the heavens, and those who are bowing down, making sworn
oaths to Jehovah and making sworn oaths by Malcam;
6 and those who are drawing back from
following Jehovah and who have not sought Jehovah and have not inquired of him.
7 Keep silence before the Sovereign Lord
Jehovah; for the day of Jehovah is near, for Jehovah has prepared a
sacrifice; he has sanctified his invited ones.
8 And it must occur on the day of
Jehovah's sacrifice that I will give attention to the princes, and to the
sons of the king, and to all those wearing foreign attire.
9 And I will give attention to everyone
that is climbing upon the platform in that day, those who are filling the house
of their masters with violence and deception.
10 And there must occur on that day, is
the utterance of Jehovah, the sound of an outcry from the Fish Gate, and a
howling from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.
11 Howl, you inhabitants of Maktesh, for
all the people who are tradesmen have been silenced; all those weighing out
silver have been cut off.
12 And it must occur at that time that I
shall carefully search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will give attention to the
men who are congealing upon their dregs [and] who are saying in their heart,
'Jehovah will not do good, and he will not do bad.'
13 And their wealth must come to be for
pillage and their houses for a desolate waste. And they will build houses, but
they will not have occupancy; and they will plant vineyards, but they will not
drink the wine of them.
14 The great day of Jehovah is
near. It is near, and there is a hurrying [of it] very much. The sound of the day
of Jehovah is bitter. There a mighty man is letting out a cry.
15 That day is a day of fury, a day of
distress and of anguish, a day of storm and of desolation, a day of darkness and
of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick gloom,
16 a day of horn and of alarm signal,
against the fortified cities and against the high corner towers.
17 And I will cause distress to mankind,
and they will certainly walk like blind men; because it is against Jehovah that
they have sinned. And their blood will actually be poured out like dust, and
their bowels like the dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to deliver them in the day of Jehovah's fury; but by the
fire of his zeal the whole earth will be devoured, because he will make an
extermination, indeed a terrible one, of all the inhabitants of the earth
(Zephaniah 1).
1
Look! There is a day coming, belonging to Jehovah, and the spoil of you will
certainly be apportioned out in the midst of you.
2 And I shall certainly gather all the
nations against Jerusalem for the war; and the city will actually be captured
and the houses be pillaged, and the women themselves will be raped. And half of
the city must go forth into the exile; but as for the remaining ones of the
people, they will not be cut off from the city.
3 And Jehovah will certainly go forth and
war against those nations as in the day of his warring, in the day of fight.
4 And his feet will actually stand in that
day upon the mountain of the olive trees, which is in front of Jerusalem, on the
east; and the mountain of the olive trees must be split at its middle, from the
sunrising and to the west. There will be a very great valley; and half of the
mountain will actually be moved to the north, and half of it to the south.
5 And you people will certainly flee to
the valley of my mountains; because the valley of [the] mountains will reach all
the way to Azel. And you will have to flee, just as you fled because of the [earth]quake
in the days of Uzziah the king of Judah. And Jehovah my God will certainly come,
all the holy ones being with him.
6 And it must occur in that day [that]
there will prove to be no precious light -- things will be congealed [bad
translation].
7 And it must become one day that is known
as belonging to Jehovah. It will not be day, neither will it be night; and it
must occur [that] at evening time it will become light.
8 And it must occur in that day [that]
living waters will go forth from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and
half of them to the western sea. In summer and in winter it will occur.
9 And Jehovah must become king over all
the earth. In that day Jehovah will prove to be one, and his name one.
10 The whole land will be changed like the
Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon to the south of Jerusalem; and she must rise and
become inhabited in her place, from the Gate of Benjamin all the way to the
place of the First Gate, all the way to the Corner Gate, and [from] the Tower of
Hananel all the way to the press vats of the king.
11 And people will certainly inhabit her;
and there will occur no more any banning [to destruction], and Jerusalem must be
inhabited in security.
12 And this is what will prove to be the
scourge with which Jehovah will scourge all the peoples that will actually do
military service against Jerusalem: There will be a rotting away of one's flesh,
while one is standing upon one's feet; and one's very eyes will rot away in
their sockets, and one's very tongue will rot away in one's mouth.
13 And it must occur in that day [that]
confusion from Jehovah will become widespread among them; and they will actually
grab hold, each one of the hand of his companion, and his hand will actually
come up against the hand of his companion.
14 And Judah itself also will be warring
at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about will certainly be
gathered, gold and silver and garments in excessive abundance.
15 And this is how the scourge of the
horse, the mule, the camel, and the male ass, and every sort of domestic animal
that happens to be in those camps, will prove to be, like this scourge.
16 And it must occur [that], as regards
everyone who is left remaining out of all the nations that are coming against
Jerusalem, they must also go up from year to year to bow down to the King,
Jehovah of armies, and to celebrate the festival of the booths.
17 And it must occur that, as regards
anyone that does not come up out of the families of the earth to Jerusalem to
bow down to the King, Jehovah of armies, even upon them no pouring rain will
occur.
18 And if the family of Egypt itself does
not come up and does not actually enter, upon them also there shall be none. The
scourge will occur with which Jehovah scourges the nations that do not come up
to celebrate the festival of the booths.
19 This itself will prove to be the
[punishment for the] sin of Egypt and the sin of all the nations that do not
come up to celebrate the festival of the booths.
20 In that day there will prove to be upon
the bells of the horse 'Holiness belongs to Jehovah!' And the widemouthed
cooking pots in the house of Jehovah must become like the bowls before the
altar.
21 And
every widemouthed cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah must become something
holy belonging to Jehovah of armies, and all those who are sacrificing must come
in and take from them and must do boiling in them. And there will no more prove
to be a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah of armies in that day (Zechariah 14).
1
For, look! the day is coming that is burning like the furnace, and all the
presumptuous ones and all those doing wickedness must become as stubble. And the
day that is coming will certainly devour them, Jehovah of armies has said, so
that it will not leave to them either root or bough.
2 And to you who are in fear of my name
the sun of righteousness will certainly shine forth, with healing in its wings;
and you will actually go forth and paw the ground like fattened calves.
3 And you people will certainly tread down
[the] wicked ones, for they will become as powder under the soles of your feet
in the day on which I am acting, Jehovah of armies has said.
4 Remember, you people, the law of Moses
my servant with which I commanded him in Horeb concerning all Israel, even
regulations and judicial decisions.
5 Look! I am sending to you people Elijah
the prophet before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah.
6 And he must turn the heart of fathers
back toward sons, and the heart of sons back toward fathers; in order that I may
not come and actually strike the earth with a devoting [of it] to destruction
(Malachi 4).
