The Minor Prophets Greatest Hits (Joel)

Joel 2:28-32

The Day of the Lord

 “And afterward,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your old men will dream dreams,

your young men will see visions.

Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

I will show wonders in the heavens

and on the earth,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood

before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

And everyone who calls

on the name of the Lord will be saved;

for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem

there will be deliverance,

as the Lord has said,

even among the survivors

whom the Lord calls.

Joel two is it's own little world.

Sometime in the near future I will do my own bible study and break it down verse by verse, with commentary and references.

Cause, you know Lucy? There is at least one entity, that when he tells me to do something?

I do it sweetheart :-).

Joel 3:12-13

“Let the nations be roused;

let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,

for there I will sit

to judge all the nations on every side.

Swing the sickle,

for the harvest is ripe.

Come, trample the grapes,

for the winepress is full

and the vats overflow—

so great is their wickedness!”

(It's not just people who get judged when the time comes, nations will as well.)

Joel 3:15

The sun and moon will be darkened,

and the stars no longer shine.

Some say this is not a reference to an eclispe

but rather to how dark the world will be 

due to all the smoke, from wars raging on the earth when that day comes.
