Ezekiel chapter 30 verse 3

for the day is near the day of the Lord is near.

It will be a day of clouds, a time of doom for the nations.

So this is specifically talking about the day of judgment coming for these specific nations that God has been

speaking to in Ezekiel and specifically here he's talking about Egypt for all of Egypt's sin and idolatry and arrogance

And it's not just the Old Testament.

When we get to the New Testament, we see the day of the

Lord talked about ultimately talking about the day of judgment, the day when Jesus returns.

In 2nd Peter, chapter 3, I think about when Peter is writing about how the day of the

Lord will come, and that's the phrase he uses. And then he writes, so listen to this and think about now how all this affects the way you and I live today.

Peter writes in view of the day of the Lord, since all these things are thus to be dissolved.

In other words, when God's judgment comes and the Bible says right before this in 2nd Peter 310, the heavens will pass away with a roar,

the heavenly bodies burned up and dissolve, the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

So everything that we've put our trust trust in that we've hoped in in this world gone
