Before we get into Joel, we need to lay a foundation for a Biblical view of the ‘Last Days’ and the ‘Day of the Lord’ © 2008 Brett Peterson Joe 1: 14 Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD. Joe 1: 15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

© 2008 Brett Peterson Joe 2: 1 Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the LORD is coming; Surely it is near, Joe 2: 2 A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations.

Much of the next 10 Minor Prophets is about the end times. Times, it appears, in which we live. © 2008 Brett Peterson Dan 12: 3 "Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase. " Time, for us to get right with God and walk close to Him!

© 2008 Brett Peterson Joe 2: 12 "Yet even now, " declares the LORD, "Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; Joe 2: 13 And rend your heart and not your garments. " Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil.

© 2008 Brett Peterson Joe 2: 28 "It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dreams, Your young men will see visions. Joe 2: 29 "Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. Joe 2: 30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. Joe 2: 31 "The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. • Does this mean old men can’t have visions, and young men can’t dreams? • This passage is an example of Hebrew poetic form. Can you see it?

© 2008 Brett Peterson In Joel 3: 2, the prophet said that the nations of the world will be judged for having scattered the people of Israel and for having “divided up” (or “parted” or “partitioned”) the land of Israel. On November 29, 1947, when the United Nations General Assembly approved a motion to partition the land, which at that time was called “Palestine. ” The partition plan divided the land into two separate states, one for Jewish people and another for Arab people.

Syria is also threatening Israel and supporting the terrorists who are waging Jihad on them. © 2008 Brett Peterson Amos 1: 3 -5 States that Syria will come against Israel four times, and then will be made desolate. These occurred in: 1948 (1 st) 1967(2 nd) 1973(3 rd) and the 4 th appears that it could happen at any time! Damascus is the capital of Syria. It is the oldest perpetual city in the world! It is over 5000 years old!

If Israel had destroyed Damascus then, this prophecy could not have been fulfilled! Additionally, Russia is backing Damascus - when Damascus attacks Israel again, it will be destroyed, and it will cause the prophecies in Ez. 38 and 39 to be fulfilled - Russia, the bear of the north along with Muslim nations will be forced to attack Israel, but God will intervene!

Damascus(Syria) could be the catalyst for it all to happen! Eze 38: 3 and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh( Russia), Meshech and Tubal.

Zec 12: 3 "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. • Even the USA is attempting to partition the land.
