[:en]Thoughts from Joel 3[:]

[:en]Pictures of the Day of the Lord:

1.  Nations will be judged – Those nations that have mistreated Israel will be summon to court and be judged.  (vs. 1-12)

2.  Harvest is ripe – The wickedness of the nations will be judged accordingly (vs. 10-13)

3.  Changes of constellation – the sun and moon will be darkened and the star no longer shine, a thunder will roar, the earth and the sky will tremble.  But the Lord will be a refuge and a stronghold for His people. (vs. 15-16)

4.  Blessings for God’s people – the Lord will dwell in Zion and never again will foreigner invade Jerusalem.  It will be a land drip with new wine and flow with milk.[:]
