The Day of the Lord

The blow of the lord's judgment would be sudden and decisive, the whole earth consumed by the fire of his jealousy. This is a fitting judgment for their sin. Their blood will be poured out like dust. They return to the dust. Another image of de creation. The same is true of comparing their flesh with dung. All the things that th had put their trust in, their silver and their gold, were prove to be of no avail on the day of the Lord's judgment. How might this account speak beyond the immediate circumstance of the destruction of jerusalem by babylon to relate to other and greater judgments yet to come?
