Isa 65:12-16, Dan 9:26-27, Zec 11:1-3, 14:1-2, Mal 4:1, Mar 13:19-20 | ESV | STEP | I will destine you to the sword , and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter , because , when I called , you did not answer ; when I spoke , you did not listen , but you did what was evil in my eyes and chose what I did not delight in .

12 I will destine you to the sword,
and all of you shall bow down to the slaughter,
^abecause, when I called, you did not answer;
when I spoke, you did not listen,
^bbut you did what was evil in my eyes
and chose what I did not delight in.”
13 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, ^cmy servants shall eat,
but you shall be hungry;
behold, my servants shall drink,
but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, ^dmy servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.
15 You shall leave your name to ^emy chosen ^ffor a curse,
and the Lord God will put you to death,
but his servants ^ghe will call by another name,
16 so that he who ^hblesses himself in the land
shall bless himself by ⁱthe God of truth,
and he who takes an oath in the land
shall swear by ^jthe God of truth;
^kbecause the former troubles are forgotten
and are hidden from my eyes.

Daniel 9:26-27

26 And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall ^lbe cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come ^mshall destroy the city and the sanctuary. ⁿIts ^{▼▼Or His} end shall come with a flood, ^pand to the end there shall be war. ^qDesolations are decreed. 27 And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, ^{▼▼Or seven; twice in this verse} and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. ^sAnd on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until ^tthe decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

Zechariah 11:1-3

The Flock Doomed to Slaughter

1 Open your doors, ^uO Lebanon,
that the fire may devour your cedars!
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
for the glorious trees are ruined!
Wail, ^voaks of Bashan,
for the thick forest has been felled!
3 The sound of ^wthe wail of ^xthe shepherds,
for their glory is ruined!
The sound of the roar of ^ythe lions,
^zfor the thicket of the Jordan is ruined!

Zechariah 14:1-2

The Coming Day of the Lord

1 Behold, ^aaa day is coming for the Lord, when the spoil taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2 For ^abI will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and ^acthe city shall be taken ^adand the houses plundered ^aeand the women raped. ^afHalf of the city shall go out into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Malachi 4:1

The Great Day of the Lord

1 ^{▼▼Ch 4:1–6 is ch 3:19–24 in Hebrew} “For behold, ^ahthe day is coming, ^aiburning like an oven, when ^ajall the arrogant and ^akall evildoers ^alwill be stubble. The day that is coming ^amshall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.

Mark 13:19-20

19 For in those days there will be ^ansuch ^aotribulation as has not been ^apfrom the beginning of the creation that ^aqGod created until now, and never will be. 20 And if the Lord had not cut short the days, no human being would be saved. But for ^arthe sake of the elect, whom ^ashe chose, he shortened the days.
