Ausgießung des Geistes und Vorzeichen des Gerichts
1Und danach wird es geschehen, dass ich meinen Geist ausgießen werde über alles Fleisch. Und eure Söhne und eure Töchter werden weissagen, eure Greise werden Träume haben[1], eure jungen Männer werden Visionen sehen. (4Mo 11,29; 4Mo 12,6; Spr 1,23; Jes 44,3; Hes 39,29)2Und selbst über die Knechte und über die Mägde werde ich in jenen Tagen meinen Geist ausgießen.3Und ich werde Wunderzeichen[2] geben am Himmel und auf der Erde: Blut und Feuer und Rauchsäulen. (Mt 24,29; Lk 21,11; Offb 8,7)4Die Sonne wird sich in Finsternis verwandeln und der Mond in Blut, ehe der Tag des HERRN kommt, der große und furchtbare. (Joe 2,2; Mal 3,19; Offb 8,12)5Und es wird geschehen: Jeder, der den Namen des HERRN anruft, wird gerettet werden. Denn auf dem Berg Zion und in Jerusalem wird Rettung sein[3], wie der HERR gesprochen hat, und unter den Übriggebliebenen, die[4] der HERR berufen wird. (Jes 11,11; Jer 23,7; Hes 37,12; Ob 1,17; Apg 2,39; Röm 10,13)
Joel 3
King James Version
1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.4Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;5Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:6The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.7Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:8And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it .9Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.13Put 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.14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.17So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.19Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.20But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.21For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
