"How terrible it will be for you who say, "If only the day of the Lord were here! For then the Lord will rescue us from all our enemies.""



(Hoping to be raptured-rescued- but not ready)
But you have no idea what you are wishing for. That day will not bring light and prosperity, but darkness and disaster.
I hate all your show of pretense - the hypocrisy of your religious festivals and solemn assemblies. Away with your hymns of praise! They are only noise to My ears. I will not listen to your music, no matter how lovely it is.

INSTEAD... I want to see (repentance) a mighty flood of "justice", and a river of "righteous living" that will never run dry.
How terrible it will be for you who lounge in luxury and think you are secure.... you who are famous and popular - to whom people go for help.

You push away every thought of coming disaster, (Tribulation) but your actions only bring the day of judgment closer.
THEREFORE..... you will be the first to be led away as captives. Suddenly all your celebrations (partying) will end. (from book of Amos)
