Isaiah 13-17

by Paul Ice "Wail, for the day of the Lord is near; as a destruction from the Almighty, it will come" Verses 6 - 13 of chapter 13 tell of a dreadful day.  It is not a day for Christians to brag about because they will miss these punishments, but a day we should be saddened for those that will have to face it.  It is a reminder to us, of what God has done for us in delivering us from His wrath.  And it is to remember, that Christ endured the wrath of God for my sins and yours.   Wail for the day of the Lord is near- what a horrible day this shall be;  'The day of the Lord' is mentioned 23 times in Scripture.  'In that day', another phrase used, is a day when God shall pour out His wrath on men for their sin.  They shall face His anger and who can stand before it.
