Analysis of The Day of the LORD
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Behold, the day is coming,
That shall burn like a furnace;
The mountains will be crumbling,
Consuming the vulgarness.
The arrogant will be stubble,
As well as wicked evil;
When the earth will be rubble,
Setting ablaze the devil.
Neither leaving branch nor root,
But for those who fear the Lord;
Shall be harvested like fruit,
And ripened in one accord.
You shall leap up like a deer,
Hooves trod down on the wicked;
Causing them their souls to smear,
Those who crushed the afflicted.
Remember all of the rules,
Statutes that He commanded;
Judgment will await the fools,
Who are misled and stranded.
God will send before that day,
A seer before He arrives;
Warning those who do not stray,
And will be saving their lives.
He will be turning their hearts,
And will decree destruction;
Immorality departs,
The Lord starts reconstruction.
