I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, My people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. Joel 3:2
Very little is known about the prophet Joel, except He is quoted in Acts 2:17-21, and hints of the Gospel period and the coming of the Holy Spirit. Joel tells of a great swarm of locust and an extended drought that left Judah devastated. The people cried out to God and He came to their rescue bringing prosperity. Finally, Joel proclaims that everyone, someday, will be judged.
God will hold each and every person accountable for their actions, morals and sentiments. Those who have oppressed God’s people will be punished. Those who have abused God Himself will be condemned and those who have walked in faith and love will receive what they have endured and persevered to attain, eternal Glory. No one will be exempt. God will not be fooled by man’s opinions, manipulations or ministrations. God is God and we are not. He has everything under control.
Love,
Gretchen
