Part 3 ~ Conclusion
Joel 3:11-13 Assemble yourselves, and come, all
ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither
cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the
valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for
their wickedness [is] great.
- Jehoshaphat ~ Yahveh has judged. The valley of the shadow of death. This is the harvest of the wicked and the "mighty ones" have "come down." The sickle they, the fallen angels, put in is deception...great deception. This harvest time is the last five months of this age...when the locusts, fallen angels and their king are here pretending to be of the Lord. A time of great tribulation...great deception. Are we being prepared for this by our leaders... religious and political? Perhaps preparing us to be deceived but certainly not preparing us for the truth. But, He has foretold us all things. There are no excuses.
3:14-16 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD
is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also
shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of His People, and the strength of the children of Israel.
- So many souls being misled as His day nears...so many wrong decisions being reached as they follow the wrong Christ. All the while the Lord roars out of Zion....His words being taught by His witnesses but will they listen?
3:17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God
dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
- Our Lord dwells in Zion His holy mountain. So....His holy mountain, His Zion is...."My people."
- Isaiah 51:16 And I have put My words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of Mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art My people.
Zion isn't a geographical location but represents His saints, His holy mountain (nation) and in them He dwells and through them He roars.
