Joel 3:9New Messianic Version BibleProclaim you2f this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: See the chapter |
Declare you2f among the nations, and publish, and set up a Flag (banner); publish, [and] conceal not: say, Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] is taken, Bel [lord] is shamed, M’rodakh [your rebellion] is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes [middle land]: for his device [is] against Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion], to destroy it; because it [is] the vengeance of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the vengeance of his temple.
Set you2f up a Flag (banner) in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call to (to do entirely, do wholly) gether against her the kingdoms of Ararat [the curse reversed], Minni [division], and Ashchenaz [scattered fire]; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
For I will gather all nations against Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue (part that remains, the rest) of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
