In short

The announcement. The prophet Isaiah, in the book of Isaiah, announces the “day of the LORD”, a day of wrath when the sun is darkened, when the moon and stars no longer shine, and when heaven and earth are violently shaken.

À positionner autour de la phase du jour du Seigneur sans imposer un verset précis comme « jour exact du 6e sceau ».

It will happen that he who flees from the noise of the fear will fall into the pit; and he who comes up out of the middle of the pit will be taken in the snare; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. The earth is utterly broken. The earth is torn apart. The earth is shaken violently. The earth will stagger like a drunken man, and will sway back and forth like a hammock. Its disobedience will be heavy on it, and it will fall and not rise again. It will happen in that day that the LORD will punish the army of the high ones on high, and the kings of the earth on the earth. They will be gathe…
