有學者注意到在以賽亞書,兩次將末世的戰爭與以色列的聖戰連起來(賽九4=士七;賽二十八21=撒下五20、25)。參Gerhard von Rad, "The Origin of the Concept of the Day of Yahweh," Journal of Semitic Studies IV (April, 1959): 97-108.
比較以賽亞書及以西結書,耶和華的日子各出現一次。另外,那日子等字眼,在舊約的出現不下幾百次,但大部分均在小先知書中出現。參J.D. Nogalski, "The Day(s) of YHWH in the Book of the Twelve," Society of Biblical Literature 1999 Seminar Papers. SBLSP 38 (Atlanta, GA: SBL, 1999).
