[quotesfromscripture]

“They have the appearance of horses;  they gallop along like cavalry.  With a noise like that of chariots  they leap over the mountaintops,  like a crackling fire consuming stubble,  like a mighty army drawn up for battle. 

At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;  every face turns pale.  They charge like warriors;  they scale walls like soldiers.  They all march in line,  not swerving from their course.

They do not jostle each other;  each marches straight ahead.  They plunge through defenses  without breaking ranks.”

- Joel 2:4-8 NIV (2007)

I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,

Joel 2:25 ESV 

[jesuslovesus]

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. - Joel 2:21

[livel0veliv]

There is no question but that if we truly repent of our sins, God will forgive them; but whether He will remove affliction is not promised, yet the probability of it should encourage us to repent.

[quotesfromscripture]

“They rush upon the city;  they run along the wall.  They climb into the houses;  like thieves they enter through the windows. 

Before them the earth shakes,  the sky trembles,  the sun and moon are darkened,  and the stars no longer shine. 

The LORD thunders at the head of his army;  his forces are beyond number,  and mighty are those who obey his command.  The day of the LORD is great; it is dreadful.  Who can endure it?”

- Joel 2:9-11 NIV (2007)

[4-me]

[quotesfromscripture]

Then everyone who calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD calls.

Joel 2:32 NRSV
