Ver. 2. _The Day of the Lord_--

+I. A day which will be in some unique and pre-eminent sense His

day.+

+II. It is the day of judgment.+

+III. The coming of His day is suggestive of fear.+--"As a thief in

the night."

+IV. It will come suddenly.+

+V. Cannot be prevented by any efforts of our own.+

+VI. We may prepare for the day of judgment by judging ourselves in

self-examination.+--_H. P. Liddon._
