The day of the Lord comes

“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.” - Zechariah 14v1

“The day of the Lord comes” is such a short little statement that we might overlook it if are not careful. Another danger is that we might be so accustomed to hearing a certain phrase that we forget the import of it. Yet, the fact that the Lord is coming should thrill our souls and we should always look forward to His return.

The fact that this theme preached by the prophets, expanded upon in the New Testament and concluded the Bible should remind us that it is a vital truth that we must never lose sight of. All through the years Christians have believed. Patrick, the evangelist to Ireland in the fifth century was looking forward to the :soon advent” of our Lord.

How can we be expected to keep looking and being excited about it? Because the Lord says the day of the Lord is coming. The fact that it doesn’t fit our timeframe doesn’t mean that it is not true.

The day of the Lord IS coming. What a day that will be!
