Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it
for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee
from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on
the wall, and a serpent bit him. Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and
not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? – Amos 5.18-20
There are a lot of folks who are looking forward to the
‘day of the Lord.’ For those who truly know God and have put their trust in Him
that is a good thing. We ought to look every day to the day of the Lord.
But not everyone who is looking for the day of the Lord
is going to be happy when that day comes. For many who are trusting in their
works or their goodness or their own self-righteousness the day of the Lord is
only going to be a day of judgement on their sins.
The day of the Lord, when He appears in all His glory
should be a great day of joy. It should not be like running from a lion only to
run into a bear and be destroyed. It should not be a day of darkness, but a day
of great light.
And it will be light and joy for all who have put their
faith in Him.
