Apocalypse Anxiety – Bêyn Betwixt – Part 4 We’re all sure doomsday’s coming; Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the יהוה cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness. Rev: 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? There is such a thing as ‘apocalypse anxiety’ and I don’t want you to get it… Joel 2:31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of יהוה come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the יהוה shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as  hath said יהוה, and in the remnant whom יהוה shall call. Men were predicting the end of all things all the way back when John penned the apocalyptic Book of Revelation. With information overload at our fingertips we’re sure we’re doomed and human civilization is going to end any day now and ‘the day of the Lord’ is nigh! Hag 2:5 According to the word thatI covenantedwith you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.BoC reality.6  For thus saith יהוהof hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;7  And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith יהוה Tzeva.8  The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Tzeva. Plundering the heathen as they succumb to apocalypse anxiety! 9  The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith יהוה Tzeva: and in this place will I give peace, saith יהוה Tzeva. The expression ‘the day of the Lord’ is an inclusive term which can encompass the entire period that will end this age and inaugurate the age to come.  It’s a day of judgment for the wicked but I’ve come to realize it’s a day of redemption for me and for you!  Ps. 37:1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. The word apocalypse didn’t always mean ‘the end of the world’, it’s just the Greek for ‘revelation’ and was used to describe the visions of biblical doomsday prophets like John.  The wicked know: Job 20:5  That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment? Job 21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. …fearful about the end of the world in a more diverse range of ways than ever before. The Psalmist tells us that, Ps. 10:2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. Ecc 8:13 it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; Isa 3:11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. Isa 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked. How will the millennials’s manage to avoid annihilation in the coming decades, they’ve fallen for global warming and believe our planet’s oceans will be boiled off… Ps. 92.7 when the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: The university brainwashed pseudo-scientific doom-mongers who warn of the apocalyptic potential of clima
