Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
The day of the Lord is destruction and severe famine, in which food is cut off before the people's eyes and joy and gladness are cut off from the house of God. The devastation is so complete that ruined crops and empty stores leave people and animals without food, while joy withers from among the people. Its loss is pictured through withered crops, plants, trees and grain, with joy withering among the people alongside the failing harvest. Seed rots, barns lie empty and desolate, and stores and storehouses are laid desolate and ruined. Livestock are left without pasture, so that both people and animals are left without food.
The prophecy to which the verse belongs describes the condition of the world just before the second coming of the Lord. The day of wrath it describes is the seven last plagues, placed before Christ's second coming.
