We are to have a sense of urgency for the day of Jehovah which is described as “near.” Perhaps to God, who views one day as a thousand years, the day of Jehovah is near.

This day is detailed in the Scriptures as a time of battle, a great and fear-inspiring day of darkness and burning anger, a day of fury, distress, anguish, desolation, and alarm.And, it is often described as “near.”A sense of urgency is attached to the day of Jehovah by the prophets, who repeatedly warned of its nearness. “The great day of J…[Read more]
