Please read Joel 3.

Meditate on verse 13.

 

Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. 

Come, tread, for the wine press is full; the vats

overflow, for their wickedness is great.

 

The meditation verse sounds similar to these verses in Isaiah and Revelation:

 

 I (the LORD) have trodden the wine trough alone,

and from the peoples there was no

man with Me. I also trod them in My anger

 and trampled them in My wrath, and their

 lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, and

 I stained all My raiment.  I trod down the peoples

 in My anger and made them drunk in My wrath,

 and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.

—Isaiah 63:3, 6

 

So, the angel swung his sickle to the earth

 and gathered the clusters from the

vine of the earth and threw them into the

 great wine press of the wrath of God.  

And the wine press was trodden outside

 the city, and blood came out from the

wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for

 a distance of two hundred miles.

—Revelation 14:19-20

 

Let there be no doubt a day is coming when all the wicked, those who are not made righteous through the blood of Jesus, will be trampled in His wrath.  Pray for them, using Joel 3:14 as their faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, there are multitudes, multitudes

 in the valley of decision!  For

the day of the LORD is near in the valley

 of decision.  LORD, ______________ is

 in the valley of decision!  Let them

choose You before it is too late.

In Your name, Jesus~”
