Joel 2:1-11 | The Prophet Joel Explained | The Day of the Lord

In Joel 2:1-11, the prophet Joel describes a fearsome, unstoppable army on the attack, headed straight for the city of Jerusalem. What's most interesting about this army is who is at the head of it leading the attack against Jerusalem. Who is leading the attack? That's part of what we'll discuss in this teaching on Joel 2:1-11.
Also, in Joel 2:1-11, the prophet Joel again mentions the Day of the Lord. He describes the day of the Lord as a day of darkness, dense clouds and overall gloom and doom. The day of the Lord will be so bad that at the end of Joel 2:1-11, the prophet says "Who can endure it?" The answer, of course, is nobody.

Repent! Cry to God! Take time out from your normal day and repent! When this days arrives will you go to work ?

[@myronl.509]

This is very well explained. The interpretation of this passage is very well detailed on your terms. I also agree that this city of Jerusalem are indeed God’s people made in His image but are still being attacked for a reason, and that this is His army. God bless you brother

[@uchepowers]

I agree with this interpretation, but I found out that people find it hard that the Lord will attack his people.

[@neilnolte2587]

This is a very good example of obtaining a presupposition from the New Testament and applying it to the Old Testament. Instead, we should understand the OT first, and apply that knowledge to our interpretation of the NT. For the NT came out of the OT.

I had an nde as a child and I saw this army coming up out of a hole 🕳 in the earth long before I read Joel and what I read was exactly how I saw it.

God’s Army is on the move. Joel 2 describes a great people coming, a great and mighty army, spiritual army. A great & powerful army will spread over the mountains. There has never been anything like it before and there will never be anything like it again. In front of them a fire destroys. In back of them a flame burns. (This is a spiritual view) The land in front of them is like the garden of Eden; the land behind them is like an empty desert. Nothing will escape from them. They look like horses. (This is Joel describing powerful people the best way he knows how, using horses as an illustration)and they run like war horses. It is like the noise of chariots, rumbling over the tops of the mountains, like the noise of a roaring fire burning dry stalks. They are like a powerful army lined up for battle. When they see them, nations shake with fear, and everyone’s face becomes pale. They charge like soldiers; they climb over the wall like warriors. they all march straight ahead and do not move off their path. They do not run into each other because each walks in line. They break through all efforts to stop them and keep coming. They run into the city. They run at the wall and climb into the houses, entering through windows like thieves. Before them, earth & sky shake. The sun & the moon become dark, and the stars stop shining. The Lord shouts out orders to his army. The army is very large! Those who obey him are very strong! The Lord’s day of judging is an overwhelming and terrible day. No one can stand up against it!

Revelation 16 12 describes the armies of the East

[@kimmanning2913]

Vs. 15-17

[@dahlia1845]

You all are missing a key element in it all. DO NOT STOP AT VERSE 10... You MUST read verse 11 to understand whose army it is.
