306     The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)





                                              Be on guard! Be alert! You do not
                                              know when that time will come.
                                              (Mark 13:33)
                                              Be careful, or your hearts will be
                                              weighed down with dissipation,
                                              drunkenness, and the anxieties of life,
                                              and that Day will close on you unex-
                                              pectedly, like a trap. For it will come
                                              upon all those who live on the face of
                                              the whole Earth. (Luke 21:34-35)
                                              ... The heavens will disappear with a
                                              roar; the elements will be destroyed
                                              by fire, and Earth and everything in
                                              it will be laid bare. Since everything
                                              will be destroyed in this way, what
                                              kind of people ought you to be? You
                                              ought to live holy and godly lives as
                                              you look forward to the Day of God
                                              and speed its coming. That Day will
                                              bring about the destruction of the
                                              heavens by fire, and the elements will
                                              melt in the heat. (2 Peter 3:10-12)


                                              Torah

                                              ... For the Day of the Lord is near in
                                              the valley of decision. The sun and
                                              moon will be darkened, and the stars
                                              no longer shine. (Joel 3:14-15)
                                              … The Day of the Lord is near; it will
