“That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,”
A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness—the catalog of the Day of the LORD's characteristics emphasizes its totality and horror. The progression from wrath through anguish to devastation to cosmic darkness suggests an event that devastates human experience at every level and obscures the very heavens. The poetic accumulation underscores the comprehensiveness of the Day.
