Joel
2:12-17
12 'Even now,' declares
the Lord,
'RETURN TO ME WITH
ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH FASTING AND
WEEPING AND MOURNING.'
13 REND YOUR HEARTS
AND NOT YOUR GARMENTS.
RETURN TO THE LORD
YOUR GOD,
FOR HE IS GRACIOUS
AND COMPASSIONATE,
SLOW TO ANGER AND
ABOUNDING IN LOVE,
HE RELENTS FROM
SENDING CALAMITY.
14 Who knows? He may
turn and have pity
And leave behind a
blessing--
Grain offerings and
drink offerings
For the Lord your God.
15 BLOW THE TRUMPET
IN ZION,
DECLARE A HOLY FAST,
CALL A SACRED
ASSEMBLY.
16 Gather the people,
consecrate the assembly;
Bring together the
elders,
Gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom
leave his room
And the bride her
chamber.
17 LET THE PRIESTS,
WHO MINISTER BEFORE
THE LORD,
WEEP BETWEEN THE
TEMPLE PORCH AND THE ALTAR.
LET THEM SAY,
'SPARE YOUR PEOPLE,
O LORD.
Do not make your
inheritance an object of scorn,
A byword among the
Nations.
Why should they say
among the peoples,
'WHERE IS THEIR
GOD.'
(Joel 2:12-17)
Today, a great
Calamity is on the Horizon:
THE END OF TIME.
Where, Today, is there
a Rending of the Heart?
A Returning to the Lord
our God?
Has a Sacred Assembly
been called?
What say the Priests
who minister before the Lord?
Do not the Nations say:
'Where is their God?'
