00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,119
Joel Chapter 1 The word of the 
Lord that came to Joel the son 

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,560
of Bethuel, an invasion of 
Locust. 

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,200
Hear this, you elders, give ear 
all inhabitants of the land. 

4
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,520
Has such a thing happened in 
your days or in the days of your

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,120
father's? 
Tell your children of it, and 

6
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,120
let your children tell their 
children and their children to 

7
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480
another generation. 
What the cutting locusts left 

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,439
the swarming locusts has eaten. 
What the swarming locusts left 

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,400
the hopping locust has eaten, 
And what the hopping locusts 

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,240
left the destroying locusts has 
eaten. 

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,160
Awake you drunkards, and weep 
and wail, all you drinkers of 

12
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:46,800
wine, because of the sweet wine,
for it is cut off from your 

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,080
mouth. 
For a nation has come up against

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,440
my land, powerful and beyond 
number. 

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Its teeth are a lion's teeth, 
and it has the fangs of a 

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,320
lioness. 
It has laid waste my vine and 

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,480
splintered my fig tree. 
It has stripped off their bark 

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,200
and thrown it down. 
Their branches are made white. 

19
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,080
Lament like a virgin wearing 
sackcloth for the bridegroom of 

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,480
her youth. 
The grain offering and the drink

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,800
offering are cut off from the 
House of the Lord. 

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,680
The priest mourn the ministers 
of the Lord. 

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,640
The fields are destroyed. 
The ground mourns because the 

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,680
grain is destroyed. 
The wine dries up. 

25
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,240
The oil languishes be ashamed O 
tillers of the soil, whale O 

26
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,040
vine dressers for the wheat and 
the barley, because the harvest 

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,080
of the field has perished. 
The vine dries up, the fig tree 

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,560
languishes, pomegranate, palm, 
and apple. 

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,320
All the trees of the field are 
dried up, and gladness dries up 

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,160
from the children of man. 
A call to repentance. 

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,080
Put on sackcloth and lament, O 
priest. 

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,080
Wail, O ministers of the altar. 
Go in, pass the night in 

33
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,960
sackcloth, O ministers of my 
God, because grain offering and 

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880
drink offering are withheld from
the House of your God. 

35
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200
Consecrate a fast, call a solemn
assembly. 

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680
Gather the elders and all the 
inhabitants of the land to the 

37
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,919
House of the Lord your God, and 
cry out to the Lord. 

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Alas for the day, for the day of
the Lord is near, and as 

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,160
destruction from the Almighty it
comes. 

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,800
Is not the food cut off before 
your eyes? 

41
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Joy and gladness from the House 
of our God. 

42
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
The seed shrivels under the 
clods. 

43
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,800
The storehouses are desolate, 
the granaries are torn down 

44
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,040
because the grain has dried up. 
How the beasts grown. 

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,360
The herds of cattle are 
perplexed because there is no 

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,560
pasture for them. 
Even the flocks of sheep suffer.

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,280
To you, O Lord, I call. 
For fire has devoured the 

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,720
pastures of the wilderness, and 
flame has burned all the trees 

49
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,800
of the field. 
Even the beasts of the field 

50
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,520
pant for you, because the water 
brooks are dried up, and fire 

51
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,840
has devoured the pastures of the
wilderness. 

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Joel chapter 2, verses one 
through 17. 

53
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,880
The day of the Lord. 
Blow a trumpet in Zion, Sound an

54
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,320
alarm on my holy mountain. 
Let all the inhabitants of the 

55
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,960
land tremble, for the day of the
Lord is coming. 

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,200
It is near a day of darkness and
gloom, a day of clouds and thick

57
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,000
darkness like blackness. 
They are spread upon the 

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,280
mountains. 
A great and powerful people 

59
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,600
their alike has never been 
before, nor will be again after 

60
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,280
them through the years of all 
generations. 

61
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:32,800
Fire devours before them, and 
behind them a flame burns. 

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,160
The land is like the Garden of 
Eden before them, but behind 

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,200
them a desolate wilderness, and 
nothing escapes them. 

64
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,760
Their appearance is like the 
appearance of horses, and like 

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,720
war horses they run, as with the
rumbling of Chariots, they leap 

66
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960
on the tops of the mountains 
like the crackling of a fire of 

67
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,880
a flame devouring the stubble 
like a powerful army drawn up 

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,280
for battle. 
Before them peoples are in 

69
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,440
anguish. 
All faces grow pale. 

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,640
Like warriors they charge, like 
soldiers they scale the wall, 

71
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560
they March each on his way. 
They do not swerve from their 

72
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,280
paths, They do not jostle one 
another. 

73
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,840
Each marches in his path. 
They burst through the weapons 

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,040
and are not halted. 
They leap upon the city, they 

75
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,040
run upon the walls, they climb 
up into the houses. 

76
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,320
They enter through the windows 
like a thief. 

77
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,720
The earthquakes before them. 
The heavens tremble, the sun and

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640
the moon are darkened, and the 
stars withdraw their shining. 

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,680
The Lord utters His voice before
his army, for His camp is 

80
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,080
exceedingly great. 
He who executes His word is 

81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,240
powerful, for the day of the 
Lord is great and very awesome. 

82
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,000
Who can endure it? 
Return to the Lord. 

83
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Yet even now, declares the Lord,
Return to me with all your 

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,440
heart, with fasting, with 
weeping, and with mourning, and 

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,200
run your hearts and not your 
garments. 

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,280
Return to the Lord your God, for
he is gracious and merciful, 

87
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,160
slow to anger and abounding in 
steadfast love, and he relents 

88
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,760
over disaster. 
Who knows whether he will not 

89
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,280
turn and relent and leave a 
blessing behind him, a grain 

90
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,840
offering and a drink offering 
for the Lord your God. 

91
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,600
Blow the trumpet in Zion. 
Consecrate a fast, call a solemn

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,680
assembly, Gather the people, 
consecrate the congregation, 

93
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,280
assemble the elders, gather the 
children, even nursing infants. 

94
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,840
Let the bridegroom leave his 
room and the bride her chamber 

95
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,280
between the vestibule and the 
altar. 

96
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,040
Let the priest, the ministers of
the Lord, weep and say, Spare 

97
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,320
your people, O Lord, and make 
not your heritage of reproach A 

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,760
byword among the nations. 
Why should they say among the 

99
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,640
peoples? 
Where is their God? 

100
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,880
Hebrews, chapter 3. 
Jesus greater than Moses. 

101
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Therefore, holy brothers, you 
who share a heavenly calling, 

102
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,840
consider Jesus the apostle and 
high priest of our confession, 

103
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,720
who was faithful to him, who 
appointed him, just as Moses 

104
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,000
also was faithful in all God's 
house. 

105
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,880
For Jesus has been counted 
worthy of more glory than Moses,

106
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:11,920
as much more glory as the 
builder of a house has more 

107
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,960
honor than the house itself. 
For every house is built by 

108
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,880
someone, but the builder of all 
things is God. 

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,720
Now Moses was faithful in all 
God's house as a servant to 

110
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,640
testify to the things that were 
to be spoken later. 

111
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,280
But Christ is faithful over 
God's house as a Son, and we are

112
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:32,640
His house, if indeed we hold 
fast our confidence and our 

113
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,000
boasting in our hope. 
A rest for the people of God. 

114
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Therefore, as the Holy Spirit 
says today, if you hear His 

115
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,000
voice, do not harden your hearts
as in the rebellion on the day 

116
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,200
of testing in the wilderness, 
where your Father's put me to 

117
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,680
the test and saw my works for 40
years. 

118
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,080
Therefore I was provoked with 
that generation and said they 

119
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,920
always go astray in their heart.
They have not known My ways, as 

120
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,200
I swore in my wrath, they shall 
not enter my rest. 

121
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Take care, brothers, lest there 
be in any of you an evil, 

122
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,720
unbelieving heart leading you to
fall away from the living God. 

123
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,920
But exhort one another every 
day, as long as it is called 

124
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,680
today, that none of you may be 
hardened by the deceitfulness of

125
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,560
sin. 
For we have come to share in 

126
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,560
Christ, if indeed we hold our 
original confidence firm to the 

127
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,040
end, as it is said today. 
If you hear His voice, do not 

128
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,960
harden your hearts as in the 
rebellion. 

129
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,520
For those who were those who 
heard and yet rebelled, Was it 

130
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200
not all those who left Egypt led
by Moses? 

131
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,320
And with whom was he provoked 
for 40 years? 

132
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,000
Was it not with those who 
sinned, whose bodies fell in the

133
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,680
wilderness? 
And to whom did he swear that 

134
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,960
they would not enter his rest, 
but to those who were 

135
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,840
disobedient? 
So we see that they were unable 

136
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,720
to enter because of unbelief. 
Proverbs Chapter 11, verses 19 

137
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,720
through 28. 
Whoever is steadfast and 

138
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,160
righteousness will live, but he 
who pursues evil will die. 

139
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,920
Those of crooked heart are an 
abomination to the Lord, but 

140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,080
those of blameless ways are his 
delight. 

141
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Be assured, an evil person will 
not go unpunished, but the 

142
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120
offspring of the righteous will 
be delivered like a gold ring in

143
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,400
a pig. 
Snout is a beautiful woman 

144
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800
without discretion. 
The desire of the righteous ends

145
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520
only in good. 
The expectation of the wicked 

146
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440
and wrath. 
One gives freely, yet grows all 

147
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,120
the richer. 
Another withholds what he should

148
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,039
give and only suffers one. 
Whoever brings blessing will be 

149
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:41,360
enriched, and one who waters 
will himself be watered. 

150
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,200
The people curse him who holds 
back grain, but a blessing is on

151
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,800
the head of him who sells it. 
Whoever diligently seeks good 

152
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,240
seeks favor, but evil comes to 
him who searches for it. 

153
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,280
Whoever trusts in his riches 
will fall, but the righteous 

154
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,080
will flourish like a green leaf.
