The People’s Reaction

How do the people react to “the day of the Lord”?BR-ASI9 238.2

“For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:17.BR-ASI9 238.3

“For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?” Joel 2:11.BR-ASI9 238.4

Note.—One class of people—the unprepared—cry out “to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.” Revelation 6:15, 16. (See also Zephaniah 1:14.)BR-ASI9 238.5

Another class of people—the prepared—in that day will say, “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.” Isaiah 25:9.BR-ASI9 238.6
