1. When one hears the phase “Day of the Lord” there are usually a few things that run through their head. For the believers, the righteous, it is a day of hope, but for the unbeliever, the unrighteous it is a day of destruction. “The Day of the Lord”, according to J. Ed Komoszewski in his article, “A Basic Introduction to The Day of the Lord in the Old Testament Writings Prophets” is two sided in nature. It will produce both destruction and blessing to everyone on the Earth. The wicked, the ones who will face destruction, are the people who practice idolatry, meaningless rituals, slavery, and exploitation. God warns the wicked, through prophets, to turn from their dreadful ways or they will face Gods wrath. Isaiah 13:9 lays this out pretty well, “See, the day of the Lord is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.” God will judge all nations, including Israel (Amos 1:3-2:16). For the people who remained pure, through God, will have a different outcome on The Day of the Lord—restoration. The people that continued to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly (Micah 6:8) will not face terror, but they will be blessed and restored (Joel 2:12-17). God will repair the broken places and restore the ruins, everything will go back to the way that it God intended it to be (Amos 9:11). God does this so that every nation will bear the great name of God and seek Yahweh first and foremost (Amos 9:12). 2. Jeffery E Miller…

The debate surrounding Israel has been ongoing since its creation following World War II.
