Pamphlet 1330 Joel kc 5-3
Have the locusts consumed your family tree and stripped off the bark from its branches?
Let us now return to JO-EL and see what the result is of that rain which comes down to you, His servant or handmaiden (Joel 2:23):
Wow! (Not Woe!) A great harvest of wheat to bring into His barn! Good work!Joel 2:24
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Again, Father calls this locust army HIS army because He allows the enemy to come upon His people as the rod of His correction, i.e. for their chastisement, just as He allowed the king of Babylon to come upon them![25] And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.
Though there is great famine in the land (Amos 8:11), there is no famine for God's elect, for those who eat at the table of the Lord! (Our daily bread; His word the Bible) And they shall be clothed in pure white linen and they shall not be found standing spiritually stark naked without a wedding garment on at the appearance of the true Bridegroom. All others will have been stripped bare by Apollyon and the locusts.[26] And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Do you KNOW where the children of the true House of Israel**, the so-called 10 lost tribes, dwell today? Or have the locusts consumed your family tree and stripped off the bark from its branches? Quite frankly, if you do not know where they are then how would you know WHO IT IS that dwells in the midst of them? (Understand, this applies also to the gentile who is grafted into the vine.)[27] And ye shall know that I AM in the midst of Israel, and that I AM the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Moses did:
The Blowing of the Trumpet in Zion declares this God, the I AM, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, unto the children of Israel. It is YHVH who is EL! There is NO other God!Exodus 3:13
And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them?[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
[15] And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
