Woe to
you who long
for
the day of the Lord!
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?
That day will be darkness, not light.
It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.
Will not the day of the Lord be darkness, not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness? Amos 5:18-20

On Judgment
day, there will be no more chance of repentance or people accepting Christ as
their savior. That is a dark day of joy
for many but misery for many more.
The good news
will be that God establishes his throne and takes his rightful place, every
knee bowing and tongue confessing that Jesus is Lord. The bad news is many will be escorted to hell
to suffer for eternity.
Long for
it? Maybe not. Ready for it?
Absolutely. Make sure you are
ready for it and bring others with you too.
