Alas for the day! for the day of the LORDis at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
The day of the Lord is near and at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty, a day of divine wrath. That near destruction is portrayed as widespread ruin, with crops and grain failing and withering and seed rotting, storehouses lying deserted and desolate and barns broken down, trees withering, livestock hungry and distressed for lack of pasture, and joy disappearing from among people. The prophecy applies to the coming scenes of trouble before the second coming.
Its destruction is the seven last plagues, a time of severe distress and desolation before the second coming. It belongs to a prophecy describing the state of the world just before the second coming, when the end is near and iniquity abounds because people transgress the law and break the everlasting covenant. It stands as one of the prophetic warnings of the coming judgment, when the day so near brings destruction from the Almighty and the earth will be swept by divine wrath with sin and sinners destroyed.
