The day of the Lord (Second Coming)
Howl ye; for the day of the LORD is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty. Isaiah 13:6–13
First about ancient Babylon's fall, this prophecy also describes the signs of the Second Coming: darkened heavens and a shaken earth. Jesus and latter-day revelation use the same signs for His return.
