Roar & Restore of the LORD
Joel 3
“The LORD will roar from Zion”
Two Pronouncements of God:
1. Retribution Pledges (3:1-15)
I will swiftly return on your heads what you have done
Two Causes for retribution (3:2-6)
- Violence against God’s people, provision & plans
- Slavery and oppression for personal pleasure
Two Verdicts of retribution (3:7-16)
- Reckoning ~ reaping the fruit of seeds sowed
- Reversal ~ the oppressors will be crushed
Two Valleys of retribution (3:12-14)
- Valley of Jehoshaphat
- Valley of Decision
2. Restoration Promises (3:1, 16-21)
When I restore the fortunes … I will pardon
The Promises of Renewal: reversal of oppression, refuge & stronghold, rivers of rejoicing, redemption (pardon)
