    clarifications on the paper:

    Technical and Methodological Errors


    1. Fn. 1 – The editors name should be in upper case – e.g., Mark J. Boda
    2. Fn. 8, 9, 11 and 15 should mention the publishing city and not the country.
    3. Fn. 26 - ‘in’ should be in lower case.
    4. The full journal name for OTWSA, ZAW, BIB, HUCA should be mentioned in the
    bibliography.

    also covers and gives insights on all the prophetic books which addresses the ‘Day of
    the Lord.’
    2. In the bibliography, the books referred could have been mentioned first followed by the
    articles.
    3. The contemporary relevance of the topic could have been more elaborately discussed
    in the evaluation.

    Clarifications and Questions

    1. Pg. 1, under point 1, 1st paragraph last line says that ‘it is restrictive approach because
    there are other nuances of the phrase.’ What are the other nuances?

    1
    2. Is the ‘Day of the Lord’ which is full of vengeance and judgement a past event (with
    the exiles of the nations) or a future event (the second coming)?
    3. Is the concept of ‘Messiah’ in anyway related to the ‘The Day of the Lord.’?
    4. Can the presenter briefly highlight the significance of ‘Day of the Lord’ in relation to
    New Testament?

    Supplementation

    Many Old Testament references to the Day of the Lord have eschatological meaning, pointing
    to a future period of ultimate divine action. This is frequently linked to the arrival of the
    Messiah and the building of God’s eternal kingdom. The accounts incorporate cosmic
    indications and dramatic happenings from time to time, stressing the transforming aspect of
    this future day.1 The Day of the Lord is often connected with both judgment and salvation. It
    might be a day of reckoning for the wicked, displaying God’s justice, but it can also be a
    moment of deliverance and salvation for the righteous. The dual character of judgment and
    salvation emphasizes God’s righteousness and God’s covenant faithfulness. The concept of the
    Day of the Lord is also picked up in the New Testament, where it is sometimes equated with
    the return of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, there is an expansion and fulfilment of the
    Old Testament prophecies regarding the day of the Lord. Theological understanding of the Day
    of the Lord goes beyond historical or future events. It has ramifications for believers in terms
    of being alert, virtuous, and ready for God’s intervention in their lives.2 The Day of the Lord is
    a major theological notion in the Old Testament, including themes of judgment, salvation,
    divine intervention, and the establishing of God’s ultimate dominion.
