Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand;
//Well, we all survived Camping’s prediction that the world was coming to an end. How many doomsday dates have come and gone, now? I have no idea, but entire religions have been founded on this promise, that the time has arrived for the Lord’s appearing. And it will be frightening indeed.
We’ve all read Revelation’s promise that the time is ripe. Revelation promises over and over that it’s just around the corner, and it will be bloody.
Paul, too, believed the world teetered on the edge. The day would come while some who heard his words yet lived, and it would be awesome.
John the Baptist taught this. Jesus taught this.
Matthew 4:17, From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
It seems to be a long-standing tradition, dating back to the earliest prophets.
Zephaniah 1:7, Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand
Joel 1:15, Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand
Any day now, guys.
