“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

The Day of the Lord is a very low point for the population of this planet but is a day of joyful expectation for followers of Jesus Christ. The Day of the Lord finalizes the destruction of this present world’s system and signifies the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, multitudes are in the valley of decision where they have a choice to make. Where the global population stands today is to serve the government of the beast, as quoted, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in that verse is the beast behind the image and mark of the beast. The decision needs to be made to come to God through Jesus Christ to be among the few whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness.” Joel 3:15 

The Apostle John says the same in this verse when speaking of the events of the Fourth Trumpet, “Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night.” Revelation 8:12

The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16

The earth and everyone on it will be destroyed who live for entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do because it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people. People everywhere conform to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do. However, those who make the decision to serve God through Jesus Christ will receive eternal life in the new heaven and earth, as quoted, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

The human conscience is replaced by the entity giving people what to feel and think. The consequence of that causes traits of psychopathy to flourish in the masses of people on a global scale. That results in what we see in the description of global tribulation. Multitudes and multitudes of people are in the valley of decision where they need to decide to allow their human spirit and conscience to join with Jesus Christ. Until then, the world fills with lawlessness and anti-social activity with no empathy for human beings. The masses of the global culture have become egocentric and feel empowered to exalt their own authority above the authority of God our creator. They feel no guilt, no remorse, and abhor the idea of seeing themselves as sinners in need of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin. They see the Holy Spirit as someone to oppress, manipulate, dominate, ridicule, and kill.

So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”” Joel 3:17

Zion is the place where God lives, and we know that place is in Heaven. God’s dwelling place is obviously not in the divided East Jerusalem of the West Bank on this earth. The old Jerusalem is the one we see on this earth, but the Holy New Jerusalem is created in the new heaven and earth. The verse above is describing the Holy New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth after the global tribulation, the Day of the Lord, the return of Jesus Christ. A description of Mount Zion and the Holy New Jerusalem is given in Revelation 21, Revelation 22, and Ezekiel chapters 40-48.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
