The Day of the Lord
Day of the Lord refers to a bigger theme arch throughout the whole Bible about how God is at work in history to confront human evil. It's always associated with some act of liberation for the people who suffer under that evil society or empire. And then Jesus and the apostles use it to describe moments in their history. The phrase occurs all over different sections of the Bible, mostly in the prophets, Old Testament prophets,. But the origins of the idea and where it's rooted in the biblical storyline actually starts way, way on in the first dozen or so pages of Genesis.
