Joel - the day of the Lord


Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 1.3
 
Tell them what?

That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. 1.4
 
Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand,
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. 1.15
for the day of the Lord is great
and very terrible; and who can abide it? 2:11
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles;...” 3.9

Proclaim what?

The “day of the Lord” Joel spoke of. Also noted in Isa, Amos, Obadiah, Zephaniah at the close of the OT and in the “day of grace,” because of the Lord Jesus in the NT. (Acts, I Cor, I Thes)

Read all verses, emphasizing “the day of the Lord.”
For the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Howl ye; for the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen:
Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

It all sounds pretty scary, doesn't it?

THIS IS HOW YOU WANT TO BE on the “Day of the LORD.”
Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 1.8

The prophet Joel spoke of “the day of the Lord” as did many others. It will be a terrible time. It will be a time when the influence and hand of the Holy Ghost is gone out of this world. It will be a time when there will be no preachers, no bible teachers, no christians, no comfort, no mercy, no pity for all that one will suffer.
The ONLY escape is...
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
John 14.6


He's so Great, won't I see Him when He comes in the clouds?
Are you watching for Him, Are you ready for Him?

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. I Thes 5.2

Only if you have repented of your sins and trusted Him to cleanse you from “all unrighteousness.” I Jn 1.9
