Very good, thank you. 😊

Great job i m blessed

[@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 The New Jerusalem being fulfilled as a prophecy in these last days before the Great and Terrible Day of the LORD

[@sangeetatatpati5583]

I was listening to the 3 options about this passage, I was thinking about the cosmic army that you mentioned, but I feel it could be the Lord using the Babylonians or Assyrians and heading their army against Judah. Just referring to Habakkuk, where the Lord says he will use Babylon against Judah. I don’t know if it is right, but could it be that way?

[@christopherjacintha8724]

Clear explanation... Thanks

[@uchepowers]

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

[@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. "The Lord gives voice before His army, For His camp is very great; For strong is the One who executes His word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible; Who can endure it?" - Joel 2:11 This army is the Lord's army - an army as never been or seen before on the earth. Remember Ezekiel 37 and the valley of dry bones? "Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, AN EXCEEDINGLY GREAT ARMY." - Ezekiel 37:9-10 The "exceedingly great army" of Ezekiel 37:9-10 is the same army of Joel 2:2-11. The valley of dry bones prophecy is yet to be fulfilled... The return of the Israelite people to the "promised land" is a prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled... Why do you all think that the Almighty God raises up "an exceedingly great army" from the valley of dry bones? Why do you all think that the Lord's army described in Joel 2:2-11 goes up against Jerusalem? We must follow the biblical instructions in order to understand the Holy Scriptures - line upon line, precept upon precept...

[@Thatsmyname1]

Your one of a few that I agree with . This is the Lords army, it’s us when we come back with our Lord !

[@MrMac6375]

Are you sure about it yet to be fulfilled? Because 2:28 is reiterated by Peter on the day of Pentecost, and the Spirit being poured out AFTER the prior section.

[@ranapal190]

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.

[@julianmontoya428]

Revelation 16 12 describes the armies of the East

[@terrymcreath3896]

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! Notice: This describing the Lords Army, Gods last day people filled with the Glory of God. The former and latter rain of Gods Glory poured out at the end of the church age. Why? To gather in the final harvest of souls. Coming together here in 2021... ⁰

Joel 2:1-15. The Day of the Lord Approaches. FYI, Joel 2:1-2, 12-17, is usually read on Ash Wednesday.

[@NotoriousRichie]

I am certainly not very educated in this matter. However I’m currently in Joel and I’ve done some research because it’s a hard one to understand. You’re the only one so far who’s mentioned that the Assyrians and the Babylonians could have been the army in the day of the Lord. I feel the book of Joel is a timeline of time. The locusts came back in the day when they lived in rebellion. The Assyrians and Babylonians was the day of the Lord army. The outpouring of the spirit was Pentecost and chapter three is about the end times. Like I said before. I wish I knew more I’m simply a deli clerk

[@fullofgracehomestead]

NotoriousRichie Do not worry those whom are humble shall be great in His kingdom! Doubt not yourself but let Him work through you. For He can give understanding not as the pharisees and sadducees believe they have because of a piece of paper that states their indoctrination. For it is not man that gives authority but The Most High! God bless you

[@Heart_felt]

My comment is yes I understand that it was god's Army and I believe that it was the lotus reason being for he said in, Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. So yeah he explained that he was the leader of his army and what the Army was

Psalm 90 9For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; We finish our years like a sigh. 10The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11Who knows the power of Your anger? For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath. 12So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom Mark 13 17But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 19For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

The Vision of Idolatry in the Temple Our body is the temple. Ezekiel 8 1In the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me; and there the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me. 2Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber.a 3He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. Then the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and carried me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes jealousy was seated. 4And there I saw the glory of the God of Israel, like the vision I had seen in the plain. 5“Son of man,” He said to me, “now lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and in the entrance north of the Altar Gateb I saw this idol of jealousy. 6“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what they are doing-the great abominations that the house of Israel is committing-to drive Me far from My sanctuary? Yet you will see even greater abominations.” 7Then He brought me to the entrance to the court, and I looked and saw a hole in the wall. 8“Son of man,” He told me, “dig through the wall.” So I dug through the wall and discovered a doorway. 9Then He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked abominations they are committing here.” 10So I went in and looked, and engraved all around the wall was every kind of crawling creature and detestable beast, along with all the idols of the house of Israel. 11Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising. 12“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.’ ” 13Again, He told me, “You will see them committing even greater abominations.” 14Then He brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and I saw women sitting there, weeping for Tammuz.c 15“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Yet you will see even greater abominations than these.” 16So He brought me to the inner court of the house of the LORD, and there at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the portico and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were bowing to the east in worship of the sun. 17“Son of man,” He said to me, “do you see this? Is it not enough for the house of Judah to commit the abominations they are practicing here, that they must also fill the land with violence and continually provoke Me to anger? Look, they are even putting the branch to their nose! 18Therefore I will respond with wrath. I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. Although they shout loudly in My ears, I will not listen to them

[@bryanr4088]

Execution of the Idolaters Ezekiel 9 1Then I heard Him call out in a loud voice, saying, “Draw near, O executioners of the city, each with a weapon of destruction in hand.” 2And I saw six men coming from the direction of the Upper Gate, which faces north, each with a weapon of slaughter in his hand. With them was another man clothed in linen who had a writing kit at his side. And they came in and stood beside the bronze altar. 3Then the glory of the God of Israel rose from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen who had the writing kit at his side. 4“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.” 5And as I listened, He said to the others, “Follow him through the city and start killing; do not show pity or spare anyone! 6Slaughter the old men, the young men and maidens, the women and children; but do not go near anyone who has the mark. Now begin at My sanctuary.” So they began with the elders who were before the temple. 7Then He told them, “Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go forth!” So they went out and began killing throughout the city. 8While they were killing, I was left alone. And I fell facedown and cried out, “Oh, Lord GOD, when You pour out Your wrath on Jerusalem, will You destroy the entire remnant of Israel?” 9He replied, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of bloodshed, and the city is full of perversity. For they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land; the LORD does not see.’ 10But as for Me, I will not look on them with pity, nor will I spare them. I will bring their deeds down upon their own heads.” 11Then the man clothed in linen with the writing kit at his side reported back, “I have done as You commanded.”

[@bryanr4088]

Matthew 24 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

[@familystones]

Consider that Isaiah 13, as well as Isaiah 10 associates “the LORD” Himself with the use of the nations against His own people Israel in light of the covenant parameters and the covenant curses of Deut. 28. I believe Joel 2 is speaking ultimately of the antichrist army in the last days. The locusts plague would have sounded the alarm of the covenant curses of Deut 28 that culminates with the nations making war with the nation of Israel and and a scattering from the land. Surely the prophet would have understood the circumstances in light of the covenant parameters of the Torah. They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The Lord and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land. - Isaiah 13:5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger And the staff in whose hands is My indignation, - Isaiah 10:5 “You shall bring out much seed to the field but you will gather in little, for the locust will consume it. - Deuteronomy 28:38 Your teaching is very clear, thank you for your labor!

Rabbi tovia singer , truly knows the scriptures! While the Hebrew/ Jewish ✡️ nation has been given the holy bible in their language, Greeks wrote the new testament! Many races and cultures are first generation believers, and it's always a good thing to seek truth from God, think of those who have worshiped God for thousands of years through generation after generation! Jerusalem and Isreal! We are speaking of history of the relationship of God with his holy children and the holy children with God! ...why tell them their culture or understanding is not true? Think seriously and research rabbi tovia singer! This man and Many others have sincere hearts, but we are not to add or take away from truth from God! Often a man can read the holy bible to his family and they are more concerned with others things like cooking, school, work, things in life they do to make the next day easier for them! But when those who truly fear And love God, they listen from their heart and mind! They know the words and will of God is truth!...I was once in a coma, and in las vegas veteran hospital, I experienced many spiritual things while in a coma! For days and nights my body was in a coma, but me heart and mind was being shown thing from God! I myself don't believe in those things, yet I have to admit I 100% experienced spiritual things when in a coma! What's the best thing that could happen? I could speak to a church leader willing to help me understand why I am living through these experiences! The va hospital has chaplains! But let's be real, chaplains have work and their daily life on their mind, they collect their paycheck and have their house of work! They are lukewarm! Each chaplain has their denomination and has their opinions! But I don't want a human opinion, I want someone who has a relationship with God! We assume in society places of honor and positions of honor are chaplains and church leaders! But are they serving God? Or are they serving themselves? I should be able to find someone here in the usa who will help me understand how to repent if its warnings? How to describe what is saw if it's truth from God! Who can a veteran trust to speak to a out things from God? ...I know 100% God knows the truth of what I experienced! ...so what should I do? I try to repent, and I have tried to speak to someone for my sanity, but my heart grows with sorrow and grief! And my health gets worse daily! While church leaders speak of money and tithes ...?

Romans 1 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.

5Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you? 6And you KNOW WHAT IS NOW RESTRAINING HIM, so that he may be REVEALED at the proper time. 7For the mystery of lawlessness Is Already At Work, but the one who now restrains it will continue until he is taken out of the way (The abomination that makes desolate.) 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

[@imageofministries]

This is the army of the LORD at the second coming of Jesus Christ. It's the saints and angels coming with Christ at the second coming. We are going to rule and reign with Christ the bible says and even Enoch prophesied about The Lord coming with the saints in the end of days. If you look after verse 11 Israel is repenting and calling on the name of the Lord. This is when the Jewish people will see Jesus on the mount of olives that Zachariah prophesied about. It's the end of the time of Jacob's trouble that we call the 7 year tribulation time and it's the day of the Lord (second coming). The land before them as the garden of Eden is symbolic that God is coming to restore the earth and set up His kingdom but He will first burn up all the wickedness and purify the earth. Even Israel will be subject to God's judgment for rejecting Christ but they will repent and God will forgive and save the entire nation of Israel at one time when He appears to judge the nation's of the world.

[@worldtraveler8613]

Verse 11 doesn't necessarily mean an angelic army. God has called human armies His armies before, when He sends them forth to destroy a land. In Ezekiel, in daniel... it is God who sends armies forth to conquer, in His judgment of another land. So when it says the armies of the Lord it could still mean a human army. God even called pagan king cyrus His servant, because he delivered the known world into Cyrus hands and sent him about to conquer. Same with nebuchadnezzar

[@yvonneatunek]

You are right. This is talking about a human army and not angelic army. They are a group of people that God will clothe with His glory and they will go about executing judgement to those that offend and it will definitely start in the church.

God's kingdom is not going to come until after this heaven and Earth passes away on judgment day and he creates the new heaven and earth! That is the kingdom that we pray for. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, is the fact that we agree that his Judgment is Righteous and Just here on Earth as it is in Heaven. We pray for his will to be done not ours. We are to serve God not have God serve us! They are going to do a false kingdom come and a false outpouring of the holy Spirit, this is the great deception / the great falling away. It's the false church that is going to deceive the world. By ALL all power signs and FALSE wonders. speaking in gibberish! God is not the author of confusion! With stammering/mocking lips and of another tongue/language I will speak unto these (people)! Therefore the gift of tongues is to communicate/witness and for sign unto unbelievers and to mock the ones that just crucified Christ. and is NOT for believers to edify/worship themselves! (Are we really going to send prayers to God with stammering/mocking lips?) This is blasphemy the holy Spirit. Make no mistake God will not be mocked! For they will worship me with their lips but their hearts are far from me! The image is the image of a Man look at Nebuchadnezzar. They will worship themselves and serve themselves They are the image! And life/breath/spirit was given unto the image that the image should both (speak), (and cause) that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (The image is the people worshiping themselves) (And they will worship the creature more than the creator) We were created to worship and serve God! Not make ourselves like god's. Don't believe Satan's lie. You surely won't die you'll be like gods And this gospel shall be preached to the ends of the earth. September 26th 2020 (10-day event) called The RETURN, along with Bless Every House (Their Harvesting Tool) will be Marking houses with status of belief for 6 months. October 31st bottomless pit is opened. Locusts=many/swarms that devour Breastplates = body armor / military Crown's. = Authority Hair as a woman. = Not having God as their authority but man. We are not supposed to have our head covered. Had faces of men = The swarms of locusts are men Sun and air= God's light and God's spirit Power / control over a quarter to kill with the sword This is going to make Hitler look like nothing. Remember what Jesus said. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT. 25Behold, I have told you before. 26Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; GO NOT FORTH: behold, he is in the SECRET CHAMBERS; BELIEVE IT NOT. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles/vultures be gathered together. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat/doctrine and drink/believe with the drunken/deceived; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 9If any man have an ear, let him hear. 10He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. 23But woe unto them/false church that are with child/congregation, and to them/pastor that give suck/nourish, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people/false church. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword/false doctrine, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem/Gods people shall be trodden down of the Gentiles/not God's people, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. The abomination that makes desolate Is done in the temple which is our bodies. Mixing clay and iron example transhumanism, intermingling the seeds, nanobots this is Not just technology, it is demonic. It is a religious system that is deceived into taking the mark and causes all that doesn't worship to be killed. The image is men/new humanism/transhumanism.
