Your decision.

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong. Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. (Joel 3:10-14)

This passage is describing part of the final battle of the tribulation, in which all the gentile armies come against GOD and the people of GOD.  He delivers Israel, and will destroy all those that oppose Him there at the valley of Jehoshaphat.  His judgment is likened to a harvest, a harvest of wrath and wickedness.  Because of their sIn and hatred for GOD and the things of GOD, He calls them to make a decision.  Either take up arms against Almighty GOD or repent and surrender to Him on His terms.  The outcome is not what this army expected.  The Lord Jesus Christ comes down and with His Word destroys all those that oppose Him, because He is Judge of the whole world.

He calls us to the same decision: Continue to battle against GOD, or repent and receive Him.  Your future after death depends on your choice.  There will not be another chance then.  There will not be time to work off or pay for your sIn in this life.  You will face judgment before Jesus Christ and be separated from Him forever if you die in your sIns.  Your choice is clear.  Your destiny is sure, and His desire for you is to be saved.  He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rejoices in the salvation of the lost.  Be found in Him today.

If you walk in the Light as He is in the Light, share that light with others that they might see.

In Christ,
