What must one do to prepare for the coming “awesome day of the LORD”?
The “awesome day of the LORD” (Joel 2:31-32) will come accompanied with angels of death, as was with the original Passover. To prepare for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the angel of death passed over, one must throw out the leaven, which would be the hypocrisy of the Pharisees. As the observing sheep will have a weeks worth of unleavened bread for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, they will have nourishment for their “escape” (Joel 2:32). As their leaders are the Shepherds of Ezekiel 34:3-4 and Zechariah 11:16, who do not feed the sheep, nor heal the sick, they will resist being thrown out. With respect to the Jews, they will have to throw out their Talmud built on the back of their Pharisees and lying scribes (Jeremiah 8:8), and with respect to the “Christians”, they will have to throw out their Pharisee of Pharisees, the false prophet Paul. Will this happen, probably not for the “many” (Mt 7:13), but they need to be warned regardless. The refining fires of Zechariah 13:7-9 may change at least 1/3 of the minds of the “little ones”, since apparently, they survive. How have you prepared?
New American Standard Bible Jeremiah 8:8
"How can you say, 'We are wise, And the law of the LORD is with us'? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie.
