The Resurrection of the Dead

12 “At that time Michael, the great prince, the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish such as has never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.^(A)

The Great Day of the Lord

4 ^[a]See, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble; the day that comes shall burn them up, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.^(A)

¹² He has confirmed his words that he spoke against us and against our rulers by bringing upon us a calamity so great that what has been done against Jerusalem has never before been done under the whole heaven.^(A)

²¹ For at that time there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.^{(A) 22} And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved, but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.^(B)

Future Warfare and Final Victory

14 See, a day is coming for the Lord, when the plunder taken from you will be divided in your midst.^{(A) 2} For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped; half the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.^(B)

²⁶ And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,

¹⁹ For in those days there will be suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now and never will be.^(A)

The Great Day of the Lord
