Appendix 4 Footnotes
[1] Ezekiel 13:5, 30:3
[2] Amos 5:18, 5:20; Obadiah 1:15
[3] Isaiah 13:6, 13:9; Joel 1:15, 2:1, 2:11, 2:31, 3:14; Zephaniah 1:7, 1:14; Zechariah 14:1; Malachi 4:5; Acts 2:20; 1 Corinthians 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:14; 1Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Thessalonians 2:2; 2 Peter 3:10
[4] Joel 1:15, 2:1, 2:11, 2:31, and 3:14. The five references are placed througout the book, showing the book to be a single prophecy of the events surrounding the Day of the Lord.
[5] Acts 2:20. The Septuagint form of Joel 2:31 and the Textus Receptus form of Acts 2:20 are essentially identical.
[6] “manifest” in Greek.
[7] Matthew 24:21
[8] Isaiah 13:6-13
[9] See for example Isaiah 4:2, 11:11, 24:21, and Ezekiel 38:10 where “that day” prophecies are probably (or certainly) messianic, and Isaiah 22:25, Jeremiah 4:9, 49:26, and Haggai 2:23 where they are not. Likewise, the Day of the Lord does not always refer to the end times. Ezekiel 13:5, for example, seems to refer to events of the prophet’s lifetime, as does Ezekiel 30:3 (see 30:10).
[10] 1 Thessalonians 5:9
[11] Haggai 2:6-7 provides further evidence that refers to events surrounding the return of Christ. That passage says that God will “shake the heavens and the earth, the sea, and the dry land” and that then “the desired of all nations” will come. The “desired of all nations” is generally taken to refer to the Messiah.
[12] Both Hadad and Rimmon are mentioned several times in the Bible, but only here together. Since the final invasion of Israel starts at Armageddon and ends before the gates of Jerusalem, it is perhaps appropriate that the mourning of Israel be mentioned in both areas.
[13] Acts 1:11
[14] Zechariah 14:4
[15] Isaiah 13:9-10
[16] Revelation 14:15-20
[17] Revelation 8:12
[18] Revelation 9:2
[19] Revelation 16:10 “the darkness to be felt”.
[20] Revelation 6:12
[21] Revelation 8
