75. Four. In that day I will visit, and make an end of the kingdom of Israel (Hos. 1:4, 5). The days of visitation will come, the days of retribution will come, He will visit their sins (Hos. 9:7, 9). They shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us (Hos. 10:8). They shall be laid waste as in the day of battle (Hos. 10:14). The controversy of Jehovah with Judah, to visit upon Jacob, according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him (Hos. 12:3). The day of Jehovah is great and very terrible, who then shall sustain it (Joel 2:11; 3:4). A day of battle and a day of tempest (Amos 1:14). Then the powerful one shall not deliver his soul, and the strong of heart among the heroes shall flee away naked in that day (Amos 2:14, 16). He will visit upon them all their iniquities, in that day (Amos 3:2, 14). If they dig into hell, if they ascend to the heavens or in the depth of the sea, etc., thence will I draw them out (Amos 9:2-6). Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah; to what end is the day of Jehovah for you? it is a day of darkness and not of light. Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness and not light? and thick darkness and no brightness in it? (Amos 5:18, 20.) The end is come upon my people Israel. Wherefore the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day: there shall be many a dead body (Amos 8:2, 3). It is called the day of destruction, the day of straitness (Obad. 12-14, 18). The day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations; as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy retribution shall return upon thy head. But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness (Obad. 14, 15, 17).
