Ha run Yah ya (Ad nan Ok tar)

The day of your watchmen has come, the day God visits you.
Now is the time of their confusion. (Micah 7:4)

The great day of the Lord is near, it is near and coming very
quickly. Listen! The cry on the day of the Lord will be bitter,
the shouting of the warrior there. That day will be a day of
wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ru-
in, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and black-
ness... and they will walk like blind men... Even their silver
and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of
the Lord's wrath.

Hell

(The references to the underworld [sheol, hell] in
the Torah are used in the sense of hell)

... Trem bling grips the god less: "Who of us can dwell with the
con sum ing fire? Who of us can dwell with ev er last ing burn -
ing?" (Isaiah, 33:14)

... Be fore I go to the place of no re turn, to the land of gloom
and deep shad ow, to the land of deep est night, of deep shad -
ow and dis or der, where even the light is like dark ness. (Job,
10:21-22)

... Some to ev er last ing life [paradise], oth ers to shame and ev -
er last ing con tempt. (Daniel, 12:3)

As heat and drought snatch away the melt ed snow, so the
grave [hell] snatch es away those who have sinned. (Job,
24:19)
