The Four Leading Doctrines of the New Church

of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for a time appointed" (chap. xi. 35). "At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as there never was since there was a nation, even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book" (chap. xii. 1). "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end." "From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." "Thou shalt rest and stand in thy lot at the end of the days" (chap. xii. 4, 11, 13).

So in HOSEA. "Yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel." "At that day I will break the bow of Israel." "Great shall be the day of Jezreel" (chap. i. 4, 5, 11). "And it shall be at that day, saith Jehovah, that thou shalt call me Ishi." "In that day I will make a covenant for them." "In that day I will hear" (chap. ii. 16, 18, 21). "Afterwards shall the children of Israel return, and seek Jehovah their God, and David their king, and shall fear Jehovah and his goodness in the latter days" (chap. iii. 5). "Come and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; after two days will he revive us; in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight" (chap. vi. 1, 2). "The days of visitation are come; the days of recompense are come" (chap. ix. 7).

So in JOEL. "Alas, for the day, for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come" (chap. i. 15). "The day of Jehovah cometh, for it is nigh at hand; a day of darkness and of gloominess; a day of clouds and of thick darkness." "The day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?" (chap. ii. 1, 2, 11). "And it shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh:—and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit." "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come" (chap. ii. 28, 29, 31). "In those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations." "For the day of Jehovah is near." "In that day the mountains shall drop down new wine" (chap. iii. 1, 2, 14, 18).

So in OBADIAH. "Shall I not in that day, saith Jehovah, even destroy the wise men out of Edom?" "Neither shouldst thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldst thou have spoken proudly in the
