73. Two. From the Prophets The day of Jehovah of Hosts shall be upon everyone that is proud and haughty. In that day shall a man cast away his idols; when He arises to terrify the earth (Isa. 2:12-21). Concerning the Last Judgment. Jehovah of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in justice (Isa. 5:16, 17). In the first part desolation is treated of (verses 3-15), afterwards the curse upon the evil (verses 18-30).
When thou shalt be visited of Jehovah God with thunder and with earthquake, and a great voice, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire (Isa. 29:6). It is called a day of vengeance (Isa. 61:2). Of the Lord's battle with the hells and of their subjugation, and thus of the redemption of the faithful (Isa. 63:1-14). As an east wind will I scatter them; I will regard them from the back and not from the face in the day of their calamity (Jer. 18:17). They have been driven before thee; in the time of thine anger deal with them (Jer. 18:23). Concerning the day of judgment, which is called the day of revenge, of vengeance, of ruin, of anger. See many places in the section on Redemption.
