The Day of the Lord

30 I will [a](A)display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.
31 The (B)sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the (C)great and awesome day of the Lord comes.
32 And it will come about that (D)everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
Will [b]be saved;
For (E)on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who (F)escape,
Just as the Lord has said,
Even among the (G)survivors whom the Lord calls.
