Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty. Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed shrivels under the clods. Storehouses are in shambles; barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. Joel 1:15-17
Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as destruction from the Almighty. Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? The seed shrivels under the clods. Storehouses are in shambles; barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. Joel 1:15-17
The prophet Joel prophesied of a time when all hell would break out on the earth as the awesome "Day of the Lord" will come as destruction and darkness! The prophecy is speaking of our churches being in shambles and our barns (storehouses) would be broken down!
He also speaks of the pastures being devoured and burned up and the water brooks have dried up! This speaks of the word of God and the Spirit! Our modern-day churches have become religious corporations run by professional CEO's and have gone a whoring after power and money! The world has entered the once holy sanctuaries of the Lord bringing with it a demonic horde filled with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life!
Joel speaks of the animals, the herds and flocks suffering punishment and having no pasture, and this is speaking of people, the sheep of His pasture having no word and suffering persecution. May God have mercy on us and deliver us from the powers of darkness and from the lust of the world!
O Lord, to You we cry out; for fire has devoured the open pastures, and a flame has burned all the trees of the field. (us) The beasts of the field also cry out to you, for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire has devoured the open pastures. Joel 1:19,20
