1. Blow the trumpet in Jerusalem.Shout a warning on my holy mountain.Let all the people who live in the land shake with fear.The Lord’s day of judging is coming.The Lord’s day of judging is near.
2. It will be a dark, gloomy day.It will be a cloudy and black day.Like the light at sunrise,the great and powerful army will spread over the mountains.There has never been anything like it before.And there will never be anything like it again.
3. The army destroys the landlike a burning fire.The land in front of them is like the garden of Eden.The land behind them is like an empty desert.Nothing will escape them.
4. They look like horses.They run like war horses.
5. Listen to them!It is like the noise of chariotsrumbling over the mountains.It is like the noise of crackling flamesburning dry stalks.They are like a powerful army lined up for battle.
6. Before this army, nations shake with fear.Their faces become pale.
7. The army charges ahead like soldiers.They climb over the walls like warriors.They all march straight ahead.They do not move off their path.
