Here is Today's Message
Joel 1:1-2 GNT
Joel 1:1-2 This is the Lord's message to Joel son of Pethuel.
The People Mourn the Destruction of the Crops
Pay attention, you older people; everyone in Judah, listen. Has anything like this ever happened in your time or the time of you ancestors?
The Locust as a Warning of the Day of the LORD
Joel 2:1-14 Blow the trumpet, sound the alarm, on Zion, God's sacred hill. Tremble, people of Judah! The day of the LORD is coming soon.
It will be a dark and gloomy day, a black and cloudy day. The great army of locusts advances like darkness spreading over the mountains. There has never been anything like it, and there never will be again.
Like fire they eat up plants. In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them it is a barren desert. Nothing escapes them.
They look like horses; they run like war-horses.
As they leap on the tops of the mountains, they rattle like chariots. they crackle like dry grass on fire. They are lined up like a great army ready for battle.
As they approach, everyone is terrified; every face turns pale.
They attack like warriors, they climb the walls like soldiers. They keep marching straight ahead and do not change direction
or get in each other's way. They swarm through defenses, and nothing can stop them.
They rush against the city; they run over the walls; they climb up the houses and go in through the windows like thieves.
The earth shakes as they advance; the sky trembles. The sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars no longer shine.
The LORD thunders commands to his army. The troops that obey him are many and mighty. How terrible is the day of the LORD! Who will survive it?
A Call to Repentance
"But even now," says the LORD. "repent sincerely and return to me with fasting and weeping and mourning.
Let your broken heart show your sorrow; tearing your clothes is not enough." Come back to the LORD your God. He is kind and full of mercy; he is patient and keeps his promise; he is always ready to forgive and not punish.
Perhaps the LORD your God will change his mind and bless you with abundant crops. Then you can offer him grain and wine.
Judah Is Threatened with Invasion
Jeremiah 4:5-9 Blow the trumpet throughout the land! Shout loud and clear! Tell the people of Judah and Jerusalem to run to the fortified cities.
Point the way to Zion! Run for safety! Don't delay! The LORD is bringing disaster and great destruction from the north.
Like a lion coming from its hiding place, a destroyer of nations has set out. He is coming to destroy Judah. The cities of Judah will be left in ruins, and no one will live in them.
So put on sackcloth. and weep and wail, because the fierce anger of the LORD has not turned away from Judah.
The Lord said, "On that day kings and officials will lose their courage; priests will be shocked and prophets will be astonished."
The Silver Trumpets
Numbers 10:1-6 The Lord said to Moses.
"Make two trumpets of hammered silver to use for calling the people together and for breaking camp.
When long blasts are sounded on both trumpets; the whole community is to gather around you at the entrance to the Tent of my presence.
But when only one trumpet is sounded, then only the leaders of the clans are to gather around you.
When short blasts are sounded the tribes camped on the east will move out.
When short blasts are sounded a second time, the tribes on the south will move out. So short blasts are to be sounded to break camp.
