📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

Joel 3 foretells the day when the Lord restores the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem and gathers all nations into the valley of Jehoshaphat to plead with them for scattering His people and dividing His land. He challenges Tyre, Sidon, and Philistia for selling His people to the Greeks and vows to return their recompense upon their own heads, while calling the nations to beat their plowshares into swords and assemble in the valley of decision. The chapter closes with the Lord roaring from Zion, making Jerusalem holy and uninhabitable for strangers, desolating Egypt and Edom for their violence against Judah, and promising that Judah and Jerusalem shall dwell forever because the Lord dwells in Zion.
