1Lastly, the day of the Lord is a terrible day, a day of trouble and heaviness: the strong hearted man shall then cry bitterly: then the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and pass away with a noise, 2and, the elements shall melt with heat: the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of the Archangels, and with the trumpet of God: then shall all the kindreds of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory: 3And who shall be able to stand in that great and fearful day? even all such as have finished their course in the love of God and his children;4 as certainly as we now find love in our hearts, so surely shall we have boldness in the day of judgement.
