V.1-14 Turn back to Numbers 10, you will see that there were two reasons for blowing the silver trumpets. In verse 9 it was to sound an alarm to the camp. Here in Joel the alarm is to be sounded! There was danger. The enemy was coming. Joel warns the people. Are we getting the warning?
Today God is warning us. We should realize that we are living in very dangerous days. Satan is attacking the believers by deceiving us rather than by frightening us.
V.15-17 Back in Numbers 10:77But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm. (Numbers 10:7) you read of the other blowing of the silver trumpets to call the people together. Here, they were to purify themselves, the priests were to weep because of the badness of their behavior.
Today the Lord is saying the same to all true believers. To separate from all the mixture and confusion around, and to be gathered to the name of the Lord Jesus alone. Christ is the one gathering center, and He is not divided (1 Cor. 1:13). Satan is the one who is separating believers from each other.
V.18-27 What the Lord promised if the two trumpets were obeyed. Do you want to please the Lord? Then are you doing these two things? He will surely make you happy if you do. Notice how much the Lord wants to make His people happy.
