One of the things that I need to be reminding people of is the fact that there’s a lot of these end time events coming up on us are going to happen suddenly, quickly, fast. They’re not long events, okay? Gog and Magog, which happens down the road quite a bit after other events, like the destruction of the Daughter with Babylon, Zechariah 12, the Second Exodus, and the next temple. Then, and only then, are you going to see Gog and Magog.
Now, Gog and Magog is one of the favorite preaching of churchianity, but they put it out of time perspective. I’ve been screaming for years now that, when that happens, Israel is rich with cattle and goods and gold and silver, living in peace and safety, without bars and windows. None of these things are applicable today. So, they still keep harping it, you know. But, you know, they’re so bad about it, they don’t even give the other scriptures with it. They don’t give Zechariah 14, and they don’t do Ezekiel 8-11, which is extremely important. All they do is 38 and 39 of Ezekiel. And the Book of Joel seems to depict the same things. Maybe we should go through the Book of Joel. That probably will be a good idea. So, I should change this to the Book of Joel. So, here we go.
Joel 1:1 The word of the LORD [Yehovah] that came to Joel …
His name is not Joel. It’s “Yoel.” There’s no “J” in Hebrew. It’s “Yoel.”
Joel 1:1 … the son of Pethuel.
So, this is the word of the LORD. So, the word of the LORD is without error. So, you can’t say, like the church people, that it’s a misinterpretation of a dream or a vision. It’s not. It’s the word of the LORD. It’s without error. And the prophets interpret dreams and visions very correctly. Does YHVZh know the difference between a missile or a jet and an arrow? Of course he does. Same aks he knows the difference between a horse and a tank.
Joel 1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. …
That’s “ha eretz” That would be Israel.
Joel 1:2 … Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
So, he’s showing that it’s a latter day event, an end time event. It’s not something that already would have happened to them.
Joel 1:3 Tell ye your children of it, …
We think we gotta read this thing in the King James, because it sounds like Bible. It’s silly. It says, “Tell ye your children” which would really be “tell your children of it.”
Joel 1:3 … and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
Joel 1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
Joel 1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Joel 1:6 For a nation …
It doesn’t say nation. The word is “goyim.” Heathens or heathen nation. I suppose that’s what they mean.
Joel 1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, …
The word land is “ha eretz” It doesn’t really say my. It says on. Upon is on. So, it just says “is come up upon the land.” It doesn’t really have the word my in there. I don’t know why they put that in.
Joel 1:6 … strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
So, when he’s saying the nation here, as you’ll soon see, what he’s referencing is the palmerworm, the locust, the caterpillars, and the cankerworms. And you’ll see this. I’ll bring it out to you. And the church relies on stupid people that don’t read all the scriptures. And they fool them with this. And I’ll show you where they fool them. Plain as day.
Joel 1:7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
Joel 1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Joel 1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD [Yehovah]; the priests [“kohanim”], the LORD’S [Yehovah’s] ministers, mourn.
Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
Joel 1:11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
This is because of their sins. And if you want to read the sins, read Ezekiel 8-11. Read them!
Joel 1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, …
That would probably be the date palm.
Joel 1:12 … also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy
is withered away from the sons of men.
Joel 1:13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests [you “kohanim”]: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God [Elohim]: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God [Elohim].
Joel 1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim], and cry unto the LORD [Yehovah],
Joel 1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] is at hand, …
The Day of Yehovah. The Day of the LORD. The Day of the LORD is Ezekiel 38 and 39. It’s Zechariah 14. It’s Ezekiel 8-11. It’s not just Ezekiel 38 and 39, okay? And, it’s the Book of Joel. And when they trick you to reading just Ezekiel 38 and 39, it tricks you. You don’t see all of everything. You see about 30 or 40% of it all, is all you see.
Joel 1:15 … for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
You’ll never read anywhere in scripture about people being taken up off the earth to heaven on the Great Day of the LORD or before the Great Day of the LORD or in the middle of the Great Day of the LORD or at the end of the Great Day of the LORD. Never. It’s not in there.
Joel 1:16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Joel 1:17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
Joel 1:18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
That means the animals are dying off. They got nothing to eat. The word perplexed is Strong’s 943. It means perplexed, confused. They don’t know where the grass went. The bugs ate it. Previous to the day of the Lord Israel was living under the blessings of the law They had the temple and the priesthood. So they had a bunch of food peace calm rest riches and then all of a sudden due to the sins taking place in the temple and in Jerusalem this was all done away with. But if you take the trouble to read Ezekiel chapters 8 to 11 you will realize that in chapter 9 those that are upset at the injustices being done in Jerusalem and at the temple get a mark place in their forehead and nothing bad happens to them. I have never heard of any church ever discussing this at all. They just want to put all the bad things in the Bible on Israel and all the good things on the church and they never talk about the intrinsic deep-seated errors of the church that appear in Galatians five verses 19 to 21.
Joel 1:19 O LORD [Yehovah], to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured …
Oh, it’s fire. Okay. Sorry about that. It’s the bugs, and I think, the fire. The word for fire means fire. The word for devoured … it should be burned up. Yep. Burned up. The word for devoured is “akal.” It means burned up. “Esh akal.” Fire burned up.
Joel 1:19 … for the fire hath devoured [burned up] the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
This could actually just be fire.
Joel 1:20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: …
The mountain is Mt. Zion.
Joel 2:1 … let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel 2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; …
The word for people here is “am” which could mean a nation. The English translators are confusing you on purpose. They have no knowledge of Hebrew to speak of, so they’re not calling it nation.
Joel 2:2 … and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel 2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, …
Now, this is the Israel that has been restored. It’s after Zechariah 12. We get all the land back. It’s after Malachi 3 – one of the two witnesses that’s referred to as Elijah, but he’s not literally Elijah.
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
The two witnesses die, so the other witness can’t literally be David either, okay? David already died.
Revelation 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The one that they refer to as Elijah restored the Levites to make the offerings pleasing to the LORD (see Mal.3}, so now, the blessings of the law are coming on Israel. The blessings of the law coming on the people as a result of what Yeshua did is never stated in the scriptures anywhere – not in a single place – so don’t go there. It’s unfounded.
Joel 2:3 … the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
So, they’re doing the law, and it’s blessed them. They’re getting blessed, and that’s why the land is as the Garden of Eden before the bugs get to whatever is behind them – a desolate wilderness.
Joel 2:3 … yea, and nothing shall escape them.
It could be that it’s referring to the land as a flame, because when all these bugs go through it and eat it, it looks like it was burned up, or it could be a flame. But there’s inconsistency, because if it burned up, the bugs would starve to death. They would have nothing to eat. So it appears to me, is it possible that they make fire and burn it up? Unlikely. They’d be burning themselves up and their own food. So, the most likely explanation is this was an analogy to fire, because that’s what the land looks like after these bugs, you know, locusts, cankerworm, caterpillars, when they go through it, it looks like it’s burnt. There’s nothing left. My best interpretation.
Joel 2:3 … behind them a desolate wilderness; …
You see, that’s not exactly burned up. It’s desolate of any vegetation or crops.
Joel 2:3 … yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Joel 2:4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Speaking of these various bugs.
Joel 2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, …
Well, when you got, you know, 85 million of these bugs running around, they’re gonna make a noise that’s gonna sound loud.
Joel 2:5 … on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire …
You see, that could be another reason why he’s calling it a flame – because they’re making a noise like a flame of fire. But I’m not being able to really get a literal thing on this being a fire, because it’s burned them up.
Joel 2:5 … like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
So, it’s an analogy to strong people set in battle array. It also references the noise.
Joel 2:6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Let’s check blackness. It doesn’t mean that. The word is “parur” which means glow or heat. The meaning is dubious. It says – like in a flush from anxiety or something like that. It could be your faces are red, because it’s so adrenaline surged, excited, and scared, and so forth.
Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; …
It doesn’t say they ARE like mighty men. The word is Strong’s 1368 which is “gibbor.” It doesn’t say really men. It could mean men, but it says strong and mighty. But it could mean strong and mighty men but you shall see it is the bugs being mentioned.
Joel 2:7 … they shall climb the wall like men …
It says “like men” which is a reasonable translation for sure.
Joel 2:7 … like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Now, the word for sword is “shelach.” It can mean a weapon, a missile, a sprout, a shoot, like, you know, vegetation. It could mean a spear. It could mean a shoot of growth, so forth. They took very bad liberties with the translation to confuse you, okay? They’re making you think that these are men, and they’re falling down and landing on their sword and nothing happens. \The word for fall is “naphal” which means to fall. It’s probably a decent translation, okay? But I’m not so sure the word sword means sword. I don’t think so. Unless somebody’s trying to take a sword upon them, but it says, “Thou shalt fall upon the sword.” It doesn’t really compute very well. It means they’re gonna fall down on something, and they’re not going to be wounded. Okay.
Joel 2:9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Now, the church wants you to think that these are James Bond guys repelling up the walls, going in the house, you know.
Joel 2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
This is the sign that you are in the Day of the Lord
Joel 2:11 And the LORD [Yehovah] shall utter his voice before his army: …
Now, this is a little bit unusual. It could mean army. It is the Hebrew word “chayill” which can mean life, strength, and stuff like that.
Joel 2:11 … for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] is great and very terrible; …
The word for great is “gadol.” The word for very is “meod” which is much or something like that. I would say much. The word for terrible is “yare” which is much fear. I wouldn’t say terrible. The word leads itself more to fear.
Joel 2:11 … and who can abide it?
Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD [Yehovah], turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, …
That means to tear your heart, but I wouldn’t suggest you do it literally. It means grievous,
you know.
Joel 2:13 … rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim]: for he is gracious and merciful, …
See, we gotta keep remembering this. God was not pleased when they went through the outer Motions of ripping their clothes and throwing ashes on themselves. He wants them to rend their hearts so to speak to really grieve and to really repent not just rip closing or sacrifice an animal.
Joel 2:13 … for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2:14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim]?
Joel 2:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Joel 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Joel 2:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD[Yehovah], …
That’s the “Cohanim or Kohanim.” They are called Priests in KJV.
Joel 2:17 … weep between the porch and the altar, …
That would be in the inner courtyard near the eastern gate into the temple, the eastern door or entrance into the temple, and the eastern gate as well for the inner court.
Joel 2:17 … and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD [Yehovah], and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Joel 2:18 Then will the LORD [Yehovah] be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Joel 2:19 Yea, the LORD [Yehovah] will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied …
Let’s check this satisfied word. “Saba.” More than satisfied. Like filled, satiated. Satisfied? Yeah. It’s very satisfied, maybe, or something, but it’s, you know, it deemphasizes it a little bit. This means more than just satisfied. Like abundantly.
Joel 2:19 … therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Joel 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, …
They add the word army. It’s not in the text.
Joel 2:20 … the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come
up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
These are your locust, your cankerworms, your caterpillars, the palmerworm. These are the bugs.
Joel 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD [Yehovah] will do great things.
He says he’s going to do great things.
Joel 2:22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim]: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
That’s the month they call “abib.” You’re gonna get heavy-duty rain. So, he’s going to supernaturally build up the crops and the land to restore it – very quickly, too. And when the Great Day of the LORD is over, which it clearly is here, I would believe, that’s when the new heaven and new earth shift or changes comes. By then, the bulk of the evil ones are killed. They get killed off in Zechariah 12, and then they get killed off in Gog and Magog. So, they’ve taken a good decimation. Not very many of them are going to be around to see the new heaven and the new earth. We can only imagine how truly beautiful it will be and how productive the land will be.
Joel 2:24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, …
Supernaturally blessing the crops. The falling away is going to take some time there, because the locusts are eating it for years. The word for years is “shaneh” which means – generally, it means years. You might say to somebody, “How many years have you been alive?”
Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
That’s the army. That’s the bugs. Get off of this 200-million-man army from China already. That’s church lies. They lie. That’s all that is. It’s a lie.
Joel 2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim], that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
When you see “never be ashamed,” you know the tribulation hasn’t occurred yet, because the Great Day of the LORD is not the tribulation. Tribulation doesn’t hit Israel. But most of you won’t go for that. Some of you will because you know the truth.
Joel 2:27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your
God [Yehovah Elohim], and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Yeah!! This speaks of the glory of God of Israel also called the Kabod.. This is not father God Jehovah. This is the angel that God put his name Jehovah and inside out.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; …
The word for all is “kall” which means all. Not the old laundry detergent ALL if they still make that. It means the word all.
Joel 2:28 … upon all flesh; …
This is everybody. It’s not just limited to Israel, okay?
Joel 2:28 … and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel 2:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel 2:30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD [Yehovah] come.
Okay, the word for comes is “bo” which means come. Like you might call a dog. “Come here.” Something like that. Or somebody knocks at the door, and you say, “Mezeh” “Who is it?” And they say, “It’s Albert Einstein” or whatever they got to say. And then you say, “Borrega” which means, “I’ll come in a second” or something sort of like that.
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD [Yehovah] shall be delivered: …
The word for delivered is “malat” which means escaped, slipped away. Delivered is a very bad translation. It’s escape from the invaders that are coming in. It’s Gog and Magog.
Joel 2:32 … shall be delivered [escaped]: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] shall be deliverance, …
And the word for deliverance is a different word. It’s “peleytah.” That also can mean escape or deliverance.
Joel 2:32 … shall be delivered [escaped]: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] shall be deliverance [escape], as the LORD [Yehovah] hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD [Yehovah] shall call.
It’s probably speaking of the glory of God of Israel putting his feet on the mount of Olives, and it
splits open, and the people run through it for a rescue, and the heathen that are after him don’t spend a lot of time above the surface of the earth anymore.
Joel 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of
Judah and Jerusalem,
That’s only in part who’s here now. It’s part of Judah or it could mean geography of Judah, all of which we do not have. Have. Jerusalem is not a people. It’s a city. So, you gotta understand that.
Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, …
All goyim. All the heathen.
Joel 3:2 … and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage [my inheritance] Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations [goyim], and parted my land.
Joel 3:3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Joel 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Joel 3:5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
This could be a throwback to all the evil they did the whole time against Israel for many, many, many, centuries.
Joel 3:6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Now, this happens reversed in Zechariah 14, of them taking half of Jerusalem into captivity. So, it can be talked about when that happens also.
Joel 3:7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
Joel 3:8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, …
And this is likely going to happen before the Second Exodus.
Joel 3:8 … and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, …
That would be in Africa.
Joel 3:8 … to a people far off: for the LORD [Yehovah] hath spoken it.
Joel 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles [the goyim, the heathen]; Prepare war, wake up
the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, …
Now, stop and be a Bible lawyer, a Torah lawyer. They’re being told to beat their plowshares into swords. So, previous to the Great Day of the LORD, they beat their swords into plowshares. This is inescapable. Stop listening to people of the buildings that they call churches.
Joel 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: …
A pruninghook could be a bladed hook at the end of a staff, a pole, so they could reach it up in the tree and cut fruit down. So, what they would do is take it to a blacksmith with a fire and a hammer and an anvil, and heat the pruninghook up, and straighten it out. It’s already attached to the staff so it becomes a spear again.
Joel 3:10 … and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Well, it doesn’t mean they ARE strong. It means they’re going to delude themselves.
Joel 3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD [Yehovah].
Joel 3:12 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.
Joel 3:13 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.
Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: …
They’re deciding whether or not they want eternal death or they want eternal life.
Joel 3:14 … for the day of the LORD [Yehovah] is near in the valley of decision.
Now, listen to this …
Joel 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
This is at onset or on the Great Day of the LORD. The moon doesn’t turn to blood. It goes dark as does the sun. And the stars withdraw their light. They’re not shining in the night, and the stars are also falling, okay?
Joel 3:16 The LORD [Yehovah] also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem [Yerushalayim]; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [Yehovah] will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Joel 3:17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God [Yehovah Elohim] dwelling in Zion,
my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers …
What strangers? The word strangers is “zur,” and it means strangers.
Joel 3:17 … pass through her any more.
Joel 3:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, …
In that day, they are going to drop down new wine. He’s supernaturally fixing the agriculture. And this is the new heaven and the new earth.
Joel 3:18 … And it shall come to pass in that day, …
In that day!
Joel 3:18 … that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD [Yehovah], …
That’s the next temple.
Joel 3:18 … and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Joel 3:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, …
So, they got wiped out. Edom is Jordan. Edom and Moab is middle and southern Jordan. Ammon is northern Jordan and it submits to Israel and survives.
Joel 3:19 … for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Joel 3:20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem [Yerushalayim] from generation to generation.
Joel 3:21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: …
So, some have been cleansed and some haven’t.
Joel 3:21 … for the LORD [Yehovah] dwelleth in Zion.
Now, you gotta remember when he says Yehovah dwelling in Zion, he’s speaking of the glory of
God of Israel which, if you read Exodus 23, it explains that this is the angel that was with the
children of Israel in the desert with Moses that God put his name in. And that name is Yehovah. So, he was able to receive the offerings for Yehovah which was happening with Moses and Aaron, and also, in the next temple. So, when you read this, you get again a very better and more illuminated perspective of what’s going to happen with the Great Day of the LORD, okay?
