AtDDtA1: Against the Day

[Dave Monroe]

Against the Day


   "Is not this preserved in my treasury, sealed up in my storehouse,
   Against the day of vengeance and requital, against the time they
lose their footing?" Close at hand is the day of their disaster and
their doom is rushing upon them!  (Deuteronomy 32: 34-5)

   Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen
the treasures of the hail,
   Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day
of battle and war? (Job 38: 22-3)

   If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have but a
little, be not afraid to give according to that little:
   For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of
necessity. (Tobit 4: 8-9)

   Therefore, wait for me, says the LORD, against the day when I arise
as accuser; For it is my decision to gather together the nations, to
assemble the kingdoms, In order to pour out upon them my wrath, all my
blazing anger; For in the fire of my jealousy shall all the earth be
consumed. (Zephaniah 3:8)

   Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath
she kept this.
   For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.

thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous
judgment of God; (Romans 2: 5)

kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and

We speak now against the day when our Southern people who will resist
to the last these inevitable changes in social relations, will, when
they have been forced to accept what they at one time might have
accepted with dignity and goodwill, will say, "Why didn't someone tell
us this before? Tell us this in time?" --William Faulkner (1955)
