Joel 3:1Easy To Read Version“Yes, at that time, I will bring back the people of Judah and Jerusalem from captivity. See the chapter |
The people will say something new. They will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives. He is the One who brought the people of Israel out of the northern land. He brought them out of all the countries where he had sent them.’ Why will the people say these things? Because I will bring the people of Israel back to the land that I gave to their ancestors. {\cf2\super [132]}
The Lord says:\par “Jacob’s {\cf2\super [243]} people are now in captivity.\par But they will come back.\par And I will have pity on Jacob’s houses.\par The city {\cf2\super [244]} is now only an empty hill\par covered with ruined buildings.\par But the city will be built again on its hill.\par And the king’s house will be built again\par where it should be.\par
Do this because the days will come”—this message is from the Lor —“when I will bring my people, Israel and Judah, back from exile.” {\cf2\super [231]} This message is from the Lord. “I will put those people back in the land that I gave to their ancestors. {\cf2\super [232]} Then my people will own that land again.”
“\{The man in the vision said,\} ‘Daniel, at that time, the great prince (angel) Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people, the Jews. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time, every one of your people whose name is found written in the book \{of life\} will be saved.
