Apocalyptic Terror

Blow the trumpet in Zion
Sound an alarm on my holy mount
Let all the earth tremble
For the day of the Lord is close at hand

A day of darkness and gloom
A day of clouds and of thick mist
A day of horrors and great tremble
A day of wrath and of punishment
Who can endure

Like the morning dawn spread upon the mountains
So there comes a people numerous and mighty
A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns
No one has escaped the ravages of the devouring hordes

A day of darkness and gloom
A day of clouds and of thick mist
A day of horrors and great tremble
A day of wrath and of punishment
Who can endure

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap
Like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array

Before their face the people shall be much pained: All faces shall gather blackness
They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war
And they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks
Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path
And when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded

They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall
They shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief

The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble
The Sun and the Moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining

And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army: For his camp is very great
For he is strong that executeth his word
For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

A day of darkness and gloom
A day of clouds and of thick mist
A day of horrors and great tremble
A day of wrath and of punishment
Who can endure
Who can endure

Joel 2
