The Day of the LORD Is Near!

Zeph. 1:7
Be silent before the Lord God!
For the day of the Lord is near;
the Lord has prepared a sacrifice (Jesus!)
and consecrated his guests. (Us!)

James 5:7 Be patient, therefore, brothers,1 until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives kthe early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. lEstablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord mis at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, nso that you may not be judged; behold, othe Judge is standing pat the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take qthe prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of rthe steadfastness of Job, and you have seen sthe purpose of the Lord, how tthe Lord is compassionate and merciful.[1]

Rev.22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely sI am coming soon.” Amen. tCome, Lord Jesus![3]
