The “great day of the Lord” is not imagery, but it is a common Old Testament phrase meaning something akin to “the day of God’s reckoning.” A day of reckoning can have positive or negative consequences, depending on the actions of the individual in question. That fits perfectly with use of the image of the bowls in this passage.
