That day [is] a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

See Joe 2:1-3 cf. Amos 5:18,20, See Trapp on " Amo 5:18 " See Trapp on " Amo 5:19 " See Trapp on " Amo 5:20 " and consider what the terror of the Lord's last day will be.
