- Joel 2:2-9 : 2 It is a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness. Like the dawn spreading over the mountains, a great and mighty army comes, unlike any seen before, and none will be seen again for generations to follow. 3 Before them, fire devours; behind them, flames blaze. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is a desolate wilderness—nothing escapes them. 4 Their appearance is like that of horses; like warhorses, they run. 5 With the noise of chariots, they leap over the mountaintops, like the crackling of a blazing fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army arrayed for battle. 6 Before them, nations writhe in anguish; every face turns pale. 7 They charge like mighty warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. Each marches in formation without veering off course. 8 They do not jostle each other; each proceeds in its path. They burst through defenses and are not halted. 9 They rush into the city, they run upon the walls. They climb into houses and enter through the windows like a thief. 10 Before them, the earth quakes, the heavens tremble. The sun and moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their brightness. 11 The LORD thunders before his army; his forces are very great. Mighty is the one who executes his word. The day of the LORD is great and very dreadful—who can endure it?
