1. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2. A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8. Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11. And the LORD shall utter his voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth His word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel 2:1-11
12. Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13. And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel 2:12,13
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2:2-4
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. Proverbs 2:21,22
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

O how beautiful are the Holy Words of Almighty God! The Lord has sent forth His Truth for the development of Grace unto those who shall serve Him.
O how long will God deal with us, how long shall mankind continue to hurt the Lord and on what day shall man see destruction? The Lord is forever, but He shall not wait forever.
When will the moment be, that shall bring forth His judgement. So long has the Mercy of the Lord resided with us. Time and time again, the Lord has put off His day of wrath. All things are in place, but God grants one more day for His children to seek His Face and find their salvation.
What shall bring about the end of days? When man no longers cries out to his Lord and fails to seek Him anymore? Will there still be faith on earth? When there is not one more left to be saved? When mankind abandons his faith and turns away from his God forever!
Mankind in his sin, has done all within his power to separate himself from God. God alone has waited and gives man just one more hour, just one more day.
Man is not worthy, yet the Grace of Jesus Christ allows him a little longer to find his way home, before the door is forever closed.
God has sent His Holy Word, He provides Divine Mercy, yet how long shall He provide His Grace upon a world that no longer cares? The Lord cares, yet for the sake of His saints (Christians) He shall not wait many more days.
Man claims that he believes, yet most do not abide in love. Man claims to know the Word, yet he does not seek God! God has continually made a way for all mankind, and at this moment He still does. How much longer shall He give man? Why should He wait any longer? God waits for the world to turn from sin and turn their faces to Him.
Today man is turning away from His Creator like no time ever before. The Alarm has been sounding, judgement is coming! Come Lord Jesus for only in You shall we find Peace and Rest! Only in You shall we be complete!
O Come Lord Jesus...Amen
