Joel Chapter Three

Read Today's Passage

From "you're doomed" to "turn and perhaps you will be saved from tragedy" to "calling all available fighting men!" What a trip in just a few pages. God calls on His faithful people to come to His side, to fight alongside Him and to follow Him. What a turn-around from the beginning of Joel. And then to cap it all off, He declares that after that day, the land of Jerusalem and Judea will forever be filled with His people. So the question becomes, how far into the future does Joel's prophecy go? Is it an end-times Jesus-is-coming-back-so-you'd-better-make-things-right prophecy? Or did this already happen in Israel?

Hmmm...
