That day will be a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,
Gather together, gather together, O shameful nation,... Seek the LORD, all you humble of the land, you who do what he commands. Seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD's anger.
The LORD's anger sounds like a scary thing to be in th middle of. I think the day of The LORD is the rapture don't you?
In the second chapter God talks about "Woe to Philistia!"
The land by the sea, where the Kerethites [a] dwell, will be a place for shepherds and sheep pens.
It will belong to the remnant of the house of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie down in the houses of Ashkelon. The LORD their God will care for them; he will restore their fortunes. [b]
Does anyone notice that this last verse is the remembrance of a promise? God made a promise to David that he would always have decendants on his throne. So he spared a remnant of Judah.
In the finishing of this chapter it talks of God being Against Moab and Ammon, Against Cush , and Against Assyria.
In the last chapter it talks about the remnant of the people turning back to God
From beyond the rivers of Cush [b] my worshipers, my scattered people, will bring me offerings. The remnant of Israel will do no wrong; they will speak no lies, nor will deceit be found in their mouths. They will eat and lie down and no one will make them afraid."
