Joel 1:10-17
1:10 The bountiful land that is before you shall become impregnable and spoiled though ye work it until ye be red in the face. The land and pastures mourneth and shall give no increase. The drought will be very powerful and shall impoverish/dispossess the people. Anoint yourselves with olive oil, for healing. Use it as sunscreen against the light of the Sun during this time lest ye drop, become weak, and languish into sickness.
1:11 The farm hands and field hands shall become pale and confused when a wailing tone comes from above and they see the wheat in the fields taken away with a whirlwind. During that time, the harvest shall be cut down and the harvesters shall have no way to flee out of the field.
1:12 The tree and the vine shall shrivel and wither away in drought at its approach. The exalted and upright ones will languish becoming weak and sick. They shall not even be able to pick themselves up but they shall utterly melt away. All will be completely burned and dried up. Surely, this will cause cheerfulness and joy to wither away as well. But, those set apart as choice Lambs shall not be ashamed.
1:13 Though ye gird yourselves on every side, you shall be smitten with the Scab. Ye shall wail and howl. For, ye are only acting as priests unto Me. Yet, ye have gone awhoring with the priests of Egypt, of Philistine, of Dagon, Ba’al, Chemosh, and Asherin. YOU are an enemy unto Me and My People. “Come back to Me!” sayeth the Lord. Do not abide in your lust for other gods and demons oh ye socalled “priests”.
1:14 Declare a fast from the temple whores, male prostitutes, and sodomites. Call them out by name. Round them up and even throw them into prison. And, even though they be famous and renown, take them by force. Bring them forth, every one, to be destroyed for their case has come before Yehovah. For the Earth shall be their grave and Sheol shall be their home unless they destroy the old life they have lived and rebuild a morally clean life with Yehovah. You are at a crossing of two paths. Choose your path wisely lest you die in sin. So, cry out NOT to your pagan gods, angels, and demons. Turn not to them but run passionately toward Yehovah, the One True Self Existent God.
1:15 Oh, “The day of the Lord” is that day of inexplicable pain! Where burns and blisters shall eat into flesh [as a hot branding iron doth sear]. As that great day of the Lord approaches, His Breath shall light upon all the malignant, insolent demons and devils. His Spoiler (Island of Desolation) shall burrow fields and break up clods to the sound of a musical chord as it passes us in space causing the Sun to get into its grave (causing the Sun to go down/become darkened before it is suppose to on this day, meaning this planet/comet will eclipse our Sun).
1:16 This worthless idol, this glimmering Blue Star, this Island of Desolation made complete the covenant [with Abraham] (see Genesis 15: 17-18) and in the distant future shall it consume the Bride’s purchase price. So, afflict generation after generation to diligently and intently watch for its orbit in the South (South of the Universe, not Earth’s polar South). The House of Jacob shall experience exceeding joy and gladness for faithfully upholding the covenant while dwelling in tents (at Succoth in Israel??).
1:17 The two species shall be divided. The rot will be removed and the others shall be marked and snatched up into the Wilderness.
([H4053] Ancient Hebrew = Rapture??)
But that brilliant star, brighter than the noonday Sun, is a storehouse of pain and a treasury of tribulation. It shall breath a mighty and destructive burning wind casting down granaries, pulling down buildings and trees. It shall even dry up wetlands making the air stink of rotting fish and burnt grain.
