The Day of the Lord and 10 Days of Awe

The scriptures that point to the time of Jacob's trouble beginning on the Feast of Trumpets include Joel 2:1-11: "Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of the Lord is coming, for it is at hand. A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come great and strong, the like of whom has never been, nor will ever be such a time after them, even for many generations. A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness. Surely nothing shall escape them. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like swift steeds. So they run with a noise like chariots over mountaintops. They leap like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble. Like a strong people in a battle array. Before them the people writhe in pain. All faces are drained of color. They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war. Everyone marches in formation and they do not break their ranks. They do not push one another. Everyone marches in his own column. They do not lunge between the weapons. They are not cut down. They run to and fro in the city. They run on the wall. They climb into the houses. They enter the windows like a thief. The earth quakes before them and the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon grow dark and the stars diminish their brightness. The Lord gives voice before his army, for his camp is very great. For strong is the one who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible. Who can endure it?"

This is what is coming, not the restoration right now. This is second tribulation and second coming event language. It will begin on the Feast of Trumpets and end seven years later on the Feast of Trumpets. We are about to step into a new Shmita cycle, the Feast of Trumpets 2029. We must understand the times and the seasons. The tribulation could start on the 2029 fall feast days, or 2036, 2043, or 2050. We must understand the seven-year cycle, which is Daniel's 70th week.

Zephaniah 1:14-16 states: "The great day of the Lord is near. It is near and it hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the Lord is bitter. There the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, a day of trumpet and an alarm against the fortified cities, against the high towers."

These 10 days of awe, between the Feast of Trumpets and Yom Kippur, will be very dark and gloomy. Isaiah 63 speaks of the savior coming with the sword and sickle of fire. These are the 10 days of awe, a time of pouring out His wrath on wickedness. We want to be hidden in the Day of the Lord. Christianity often cannot show you this, as it is not in their theology or eschatology. Many Christians will be stuck in the 10 days of awe because they are not observing Shabbat or other biblical commands.

The 10 days of awe will be very bad, according to Joel, Zephaniah, Daniel, and Yeshua in Matthew 24. This is not a light matter; many will be killed because of disobedience, including Jews, Christians, and Muslims. We must educate people to gain knowledge, as Ezekiel 33 states that if we see danger coming, we must pronounce it so the blood is not on our hands.
