His Day is Nearly Here

His Day is Nearly Here!

2 Peter 3:3-18 (KJV)

3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless

Matthew 24:36–42 (KJV)

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Psalm 83:1–8 (KJV)

1       Keep not thou silence, O God: Hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2       For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: And they that hate thee have lifted up the head.  They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, And consulted against thy hidden ones.  4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

     5 For they have consulted together with one consent: They are confederate against thee:  6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; Of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 8 Assur also is joined with them: They have holpen the children of Lot.

Zechariah 14:1–8 (KJV)

          Behold, the day of the Lord cometh,         And thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2          For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;         And the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; And half of the city shall go forth into captivity,    And the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3    Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations,   As when he fought in the day of battle. 4           And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives,        Which is before Jerusalem on the east,    And the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west,        And there shall be a very great valley;        And half of the mountain shall remove toward the north,   And half of it toward the south. 5     And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;   For the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:           Yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah:     And the Lord my God shall come,   And all the saints with thee. 6  And it shall come to pass in that day,        That the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 7         But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord,         Not day, nor night:        But it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. 8         And it shall be in that day,      That living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; Half of them toward the former sea,           And half of them toward the hinder sea:    In summer and in winter shall it be.
