The Day of the Lord is to be feared. Jeremiah said at one point, "woe to those who say peace, peace when there is no peace" (Jeremiah 8:11), rebuking the leaders for not treating the people's wound seriously. As mentioned earlier, the people in Zephaniah's day could quite easily have been complacent. When the Day of the Lord comes there will be no half measures from God.
It will be a day of wrath. God's wrath is not an uncontrolled outburst, but God's righteous judgement on man's sin. It will be utterly controlled and reasoned, which makes it all the more terrifying. This is why it will be a day of distress and anguish. People will be brought face to face with their sin and its consequences. Man's armed forces will be no protection.
The distress will be utterly overwhelming, and it will come because of people's sin. Sin is man's biggest problem, and the thing he most needs to address.
Wealth is seen as a protection against most things, but it will be useless against God's wrath.
God's wrath will be sudden, and will be complete.
