(for
part 1 see 10/14/24)
Look
for the signs of Christ’s coming in the events surrounding the nation of
Israel. It is there that the fountain will be opened for the salvation of the
house of David. Zech. 13:1, “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to
the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness.” A third part will come through the fire and be refined as
precious metal. Israel will call upon God, He will hear them and He will say,
“It is my people,” and they will say, “The Lord is my God.”
Joel
3:9-17 is a description of the campaign of Armageddon. V12, “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.” The valley of Jehoshaphat refers to the
Kidron Valley east of Jerusalem. The name means, “Yahweh judges.” The campaign
of Armageddon will be a campaign of God’s wrath and judgment. 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; there hath not
been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of
many generations.” This is the great Day of the Lord. 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. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the
valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.”
Now
is the time! Awake you mighty men! Go now and snatch precious souls from the
clutches of evil. Go in the power and might of the Lord Jesus Christ within
you. Time is running out. We are coming near to the consummation of all things.
2 Corinthians 10:4, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;”
