What does the Bible say about the day of the Lord?
Answered in 3 sources
The day of the Lord is described as a time of darkness and judgment, not light and salvation, especially for those relying on their own works.
The Bible portrays the day of the Lord as a day of darkness and judgment, as seen in Amos 5:18-20. Many religious individuals anticipate this day, believing they will be rewarded for their deeds. However, they are warned that this day will not be a day of salvation for them but rather a time of lamentation and woe, as they realize their hope has been misplaced. God expresses disdain for those who offer Him worship and sacrifices without genuine faith, highlighting that mere religious activity cannot satisfy His justice. True salvation can only be found through faith in Christ's completed work on the cross, which atoned for the sins of His people.
