read or reflect on the words, notice that there are always references to
geographic locations, but only because they are the regions within which
they lived. Do not forget that the essence of the word is more significant
than the geographic location that it describes. The essence gives meaning
that applies to the completion of those Divine intentions. Also, remember
that misunderstanding within humanity tends to yearn a return to the past,
as if the past will be repeated once decimated. This is spiritually impossible,
but the essence of the word endures forever.
We know the words are repeated many times already, but it seems that
enough is never enough. Until the essences of the words are understood,
misunderstanding continues; those who do not comprehend, but think they
do, rationalize and spin the truth. Time moves humanity forward; it is seen
in creation, and it is understood as evolution, in a sense. Concerning Joel’s
prophecy, ask the question: does Joel’s message pertain only to a certain
country or specific place of yesterday? Follow and reflect deeply on the

at hand—a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like
dawn spreading across the mountains a large and mighty army comes, such
as never was of old nor ever will be in ages to come.”
“Before them fire devours, behind them a flame blazes. Before them the
land is like the Garden of Eden, behind them, a desert waste—nothing
escapes them. They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like
cavalry. With a noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintop,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army drawn up for
battle.”
“At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale. They
charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not
swerving from their course. They do not jostle each other; each march
