Apocalyptic Terror

Blow the trumpet in Zion

Sound an alarm on my holy mount

Let all the earth tremble

For the day of the Lord is close at hand

A day of darkness and gloom

A day of clouds and of thick mist

A day of horrors and great tremble

A day of wrath and of punishment

Who can endure

Like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains

So there comes a people numerous and mighty

A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns

No one has escaped the ravages of the devouring hordes

A day of darkness and gloom

A day of clouds and of thick mist

A day of horrors and great tremble

A day of wrath and of punishment

Who can endure

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap

Like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array

Before their face the people shall be much pained: All faces shall gather blackness

They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war

And they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks

Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path

And when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded

They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall

They shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief

The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble

The Sun and the Moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining

And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: For his camp is very great

For he is strong that executeth his word

For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

A day of darkness and gloom

A day of clouds and of thick mist

A day of horrors and great tremble

A day of wrath and of punishment

Who can endure

Who can endure

Joel 2
