Day 198: The Day of the Lord (2026)

Mike Schmitz· Host0:00

[outro music] Hi, my name's Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story. Today, it is day one hundred and ninety-eight. We are reading from Isaiah chapter fourteen and fifteen. Also, we are diving into the Book of the Prophet Joel, chapters one and two, as well as praying or getting wisdom from Proverbs. I'm so used to talking about the Psalms and how we pray the Psalms, but for the next foreseeable future, we will be reading from the Proverbs chapter ten today, verses seventeen through twenty. As I said, we are diving into the Book of the Prophet Joel, and Joel is only three chapters long. In fact, he's one of the minor prophets, and as one of the minor prophets, he's gonna be just shorter. And that means Joel today, Joel tomorrow, and then Nahum, um, the next couple days, and Habakkuk the next couple days after that. Baruch, Zephaniah. You would know all of this if you downloaded your own Bible in a Year reading plan. You can do that now if you'd like by visiting ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. You might realize that the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. Um, you also can too. You also can subscribe to this podcast. You also might realize that I just mixed up the download the Bible in a Year reading plan and the Bible translation I'm reading from. And if you're someone who really likes consistency, well, you've probably really liked these introductions. [laughs] And
