(Joel 1:1-20)
The word of the Lord
that came to Joel son of Pethuel.
Hear this, you
elders; listen, all who lie in the land.
Has anything like
this ever happened in your days
Or in the days of
your forefathers?
Tell it to your
children,
And let your
children tell it to their children,
And their children
to the next generation.
What the locust
swarm has left the great locusts have eaten;
What the great
locusts have left the young locusts have eaten;
What the young
locusts have left other locusts have eaten.
Wake up, you
drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you
drinkers of wine; wail because of the wine,
For it has been
snatched from your lips.
A nation has invaded
my land,
Powerful and without
number;
It has the teeth of
a lion, the fangs of a lioness.
It has laid waste my
vines and ruined my fig trees.
It has stripped off
their bark and thrown it away,
Leaving their
branches white.
Mourn like a virgin
in sackcloth
Grieving for the
husband of her youth.
Grain offerings and
drink offerings
Are cut off from The
House of the Lord.
The priests are in
mourning
Those who minister
before the Lord.
The fields are
ruined, the ground is dried up;
The grain is
destroyed the new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.
Despair, you
farmers, wail, you vine growers;
Grieve for the wheat
and the barley,
Because the harvest
of the field is destroyed.
The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;
The pomegranate, the
palm and the apple tree--
All the trees of the
field—are dried up.
Surely
the joy of mankind is withered away.
(Joel 1:1-20)
[This is a picture of
The Time of The END
And its devastation.]
