The expressions "Jehovah's Day" and "Day of Jehovah" are used dozens of times in the bible. While the terms are also used consistently in the Hebrew Scriptures, it seems particularly interesting to note the Christian Scripture occurrences.
(Acts 2:19-21) And I will give portents in heaven above and signs on earth below, blood and fire and smoke mist; 20 the sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and illustrious day of Jehovah arrives. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.”’
(1 Thessalonians 5:2-3) For YOU yourselves know quite well that Jehovah’s day is coming exactly as a thief in the night. 3 Whenever it is that they are saying: “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them
(2 Thessalonians 2:1,2) We request of you not to be quickly shaken from your reason nor to be excited either through an inspired expression or through a verbal message or through a letter as though from us, to the effect that the day of Jehovah is here.
(2 Peter 3:9-12) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 10 Yet Jehovah’s day will come as a thief... Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought YOU to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, 12 awaiting and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah
(2 John 11) [footnote: J7,8 add: “(Look! I have told you beforehand that you may not be ashamed in Jehovah’s day).”]
Clearly, the "Day of Jehovah" is associated with what is commonly refered to as "Armageddon".
(Revelation 16:14-16) Gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. 15 “Look! I am coming as a thief. Happy is the one that stays awake and keeps his outer garments, that he may not walk naked and people look upon his shamefulness.” 16 And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Har–Magedon.

JEHOVAH'S DAY
The special period of time, not 24 hours, when Jehovah actively manifests himself against his enemies and in behalf of his people. With divine judgement executed against the wicked, Jehovah comes off victoious over his opposers during this day. It is also a time of salvation and deliverence for the righteous, the day in which Jehovah himself is highly exalted as the Supreme One. Thus, in a double way it is uniquely and exclusively Jehovah's great day.
Ezek. 7:19 ; Zeph. 1:14-18; Amos 5:18-20; Isa. 13:9; Joel 1:15; 2:1,2; Isa. 2:11-17

Jehovah's Passover was taken on Jehovah's Day
Exodus 12:11 And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's [Jehovah's] Passover Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord [Jehovah's] your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
