Day of the Lord

The Day of the LORD is a prophetic expression describing decisive divine intervention in history for judgment, deliverance, kingship, and restoration.

Major passages include:
• Isaiah 13
• Joel 1–3
• Amos 5:18–20
• Obadiah 15
• Zephaniah 1
• Zechariah 14
• Malachi 4

Some Day of the LORD prophecies address historical judgments against specific nations.
Others expand toward an ultimate eschatological intervention.
This creates a common prophetic pattern:
historical judgment → future climactic judgment

The expression continues in:
• Acts 2:20
• 1 Corinthians 5:5
• 1 Thessalonians 5:2
• 2 Thessalonians 2:2
• 2 Peter 3:10

Yeshua's teaching concerning His coming draws heavily upon prophetic Day of the LORD imagery.
See:
• Matthew 24
• Mark 13
• Luke 21

The Day of the LORD includes both terror and hope.
For rebellion:
judgment
For God's faithful people:
deliverance and restoration
