Joel 1:1-2 TLB
Joel 1:1-2 This message came from the Lord to Joel, son of Pethuel:
Listen, you aged men of Israel! Everyone, listen! In all your lifetime, yes in all your history, have you ever heard of such a thing as I am going to tell you?
Joel 2:1-14 Sound the alarm in Jerusalem! Let the blast of the warning trumpet be heard upon my holy mountain! Let everyone tremble in fear, for the day of the Lord's judgment approaches.
It is a day of darkness and gloom, of black clouds and thick darkness. What a mighty army! It covers the mountains like night! How great, how powerful these "people" are! The likes of them have not been seen before, and never will again throughout the generation of the world!
Fire goes before them and follows them on every side! Ahead of them the land lies fair as Eden's Garden in all its beauty, but they destroy it to the ground, not one thing escapes.
They look like tiny horses, and they run as fast.
Look at leaping along the tops of the mountain! Listen to the noise they make, like the rumbling of chariots, or the roar of fire sweeping across a field, and like a mighty army moving into battle.
Fear grips the waiting people, their faces grow pale with fright.
These "soldiers" charge like infantry; they scale the walls like picked and trained commandos. Straight forward they march, never breaking ranks.
They never crowd each other. Each is right in place. No weapon can stop them.
They swarm upon the city; they run upon the walls; they climb up into the houses, coming like thieves through the windows.
The earth quakes before them and the heavens tremble. The sun and moon are obscured and the stars are hid.
The Lord leads them with a shout. This is his mighty army, and they follow his orders. The day of judgement of the Lord is awesome, terrible thing. Who can endure it?
That is why the Lord says, "Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me all your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, mourning.
Let your remorse tear at your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful. He is not easily angered; he is full of kindness and anxious not to punish you,
Who knows? Perhaps even yet he will decide to leave you alone and give you a blessing instead of his terrible curse. Perhaps he will give you so much that you can offer your grain and wine to the Lord as before!
Jeremiah 4:5-9 Shout to Jerusalem and to all Judea, telling them to sound the alarm throughout the land. "Run for your lives! Flee to the fortified cities!"
Send a signal from Jerusalem: Flee now, don't delay!" For I the Lord am bringing vast destruction on you from the north.*
A lion--a destroyer of nations--stalks from his lair; and he is headed for your land. Your cities will lie in ruin without inhabitant.
Put on clothes of mourning and weep with broken hearts, for the fierce anger of the Lord has not stopped yet.
In that day, says the Lord, the king and princes will tremble in fear; and the priests and the prophets will be stricken with horror.
Numbers 10:1-6 Now the Lord said to Moses, "Make two trumpets of beaten silver to be used for summoning the people to assemble and for signaling the breaking of camp.
When both trumpets are blown, the people will know that they are to gather at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
But if only one is blown, then only the chiefs of the tribes of Israel shall come to you.
"Different trumpet blasts will be necessary to distinguish between the summons to assemble and the signal to break camp and move onward.
When the travel signal is blown, the tribes camped on the east side of the Tabernacle shall leave first; at the second signal, the tribes on the south shall go.
