THE LORDS DAY OF VENGEANCE

There will be a great Day of vengeance against the enemies of the Lord and it seems that it may be the next dramatic happening that we will experience here on earth.

Isaiah 63:1-6 Who is this coming from Edom?.... in power and victory....I trod on the nations in My anger, their blood stained My garments. I resolved on a Day of vengeance, the year for redeeming My own had come.
Rev 14:14-16 ...there appeared a Man wearing a gold crown and with a sickle in His hand. He swept over the earth with His sickle and the earth was reaped.
These two passages describe the Lord Jesus carrying out God’s judgement on His enemies. This must take place before His glorious Return, as He is described as coming robed in a garment dyed in blood. Rev 19:13

Isaiah 66:15-16 See, the Lord is coming in fire, [not clouds] His sword will test mankind. Many will be slain. Those who do magic and eat unclean things will all meet their end.
Micah 5:15 In anger and fury, I shall wreak vengeance on the nations who disobey Me.
Psalm 50:3 Our God is coming, a consuming fire and a raging storm.
Habakkuk 3:12 Furiously You traverse the earth, in anger You trample down the nations.
Isaiah 59:15-18 The Lord was displeased...outraged... so He put on garments of vengeance. According to their wicked deeds, He will repay.
Malachi 4:1 The Day comes, burning like a furnace, all evildoers will be stubble.
Hebrews 10:27 A terrifying judgement of fire that will consume Gods enemies.
So, the Lords vengeance is to be as ‘a consuming fire, burning like a furnace’. This can be paralleled by Eze 20:46-47...I am about to kindle a fire in the Negev, its fiery flame will scorch everyone to the North. This passage and others, clearly describe a nuclear attack on Israel, which Iran will do, as God ordains. Isaiah 21:2... Advance Elam, up Media to the siege! Do not hesitate! [Elam & Media = Iran]
Many prophecies tell of the destruction of Israel’s attackers, in retaliation.

But, for those righteous believers, who trust the Lord;
1 Peter 4:17-18 For it is time for the judgement to begin – it is beginning with Gods own
household. [ In the Land]
Isaiah 35:4 Say to the anxious; be strong! God will save you, with His vengeance.

Jeremiah 12:14-17 These are the words of the Lord; all those evil peoples who have encroached onto the Land, which I allotted to My people, Israel as their holding, I shall uproot them. Also I shall uproot Judah, but I shall have pity on them and bring them back, IF they learn the ways [faith] of My People. The nation that will not change its ways, I shall destroy.
This passage clearly tells about the clearance of the Land of Israel, which will happen as a result of this Mid East nuclear war. Then it says that some Jews may return, provided they believe in the Lord Jesus. This infers that by then, His people, righteous Israel, will have returned and settled in the Land.
