8 October 2011 “The LORD thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number,
and mighty is the army that obeys his command. The day of the LORD is great; it is dreadful.
What kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
Since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 2 Peter 3:10-14
Who can endure it?.... return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.
Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity Joel 2:11-13
The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; … there will be deliverance, as the LORD... Joel:30-31
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
