Chapter 2.

00:02.740 --> 00:06.740
Blew ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an
alarm in my holy mountain.

00:07.260 --> 00:10.480
Let all the inhabitants of the land
tremble, for the day of the Lord cometh,

00:10.860 --> 00:16.240
for it is nigh at hand, a day of darkness
and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of

00:16.240 --> 00:18.740
thick darkness, as the morning spread upon
the mountains.

00:19.320 --> 00:23.560
A great people and a strong, there hath
not been ever the like, neither shall be

00:23.560 --> 00:26.380
any more after it, even to the years of
many generations.

00:27.200 --> 00:30.800
A fire devoureth before them, and behind
them a flame burneth.

00:31.240 --> 00:35.500
The land is as the garden hath eaten
before them, and behind them a desolate

00:35.500 --> 00:35.880
wilderness.

00:36.540 --> 00:38.220
Yea, and nothing shall escape them.

00:38.660 --> 00:42.220
The appearance of them is as the
appearance of horses, and as horsemen,

00:42.380 --> 00:43.180
so shall they run.

00:43.680 --> 00:47.320
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of
mountains shall they leap, like the noise

00:47.320 --> 00:51.400
of a flame of fire that devoureth the
stubble, as a strong people set in battle

00:51.400 --> 00:51.720
array.

00:52.440 --> 00:56.800
Before their face the people shall be much
pain, all faces shall gather blackness.

00:57.360 --> 01:01.300
They shall run like mighty men,
they shall climb the wall like men of war,

01:01.940 --> 01:05.760
and they shall march every one on his
ways, and they shall not break their

01:05.760 --> 01:06.080
ranks.

01:06.840 --> 01:10.540
Neither shall one thrust another,
they shall walk every one in his path,

01:10.880 --> 01:13.300
and when they fall upon the sword,
they shall not be wounded.

01:13.920 --> 01:17.580
They shall run to and fro in the city,
they shall run upon the wall, they shall

01:17.580 --> 01:21.780
climb up upon the houses, they shall enter
in at the windows like a thief.

01:22.480 --> 01:27.300
The earth shall quake before them,
the heavens shall tremble, the sun and the

01:27.300 --> 01:30.660
moon shall be dark, and the stars shall
withdraw their shining.

01:31.240 --> 01:35.320
And the Lord shall utter his voice before
his army, for his camp is very great,

01:35.880 --> 01:40.520
for he is strong that executeth his word,
for the day of the Lord is great and very

01:40.520 --> 01:42.480
terrible, and who can abide it?

01:43.000 --> 01:48.380
Therefore also now, saith the Lord,
turn ye even to me with all your heart,

01:48.540 --> 01:53.040
and with fasting, and with weeping,
and with mourning, and rent your heart and

01:53.040 --> 01:57.600
not your garments, and turn unto the Lord
your God, for he is gracious and merciful,

01:58.300 --> 02:02.240
slow to anger, and of great kindness,
and repenteth him of the evil.

02:02.900 --> 02:06.040
Who knoweth if he will return and repent,
and leave a blessing behind him,

02:06.240 --> 02:09.040
even a meat offering and a drink offering
unto the Lord your God?

02:09.580 --> 02:14.400
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast,
call the solemn assembly, gather the

02:14.400 --> 02:18.640
people, sanctify the congregation,
assemble the elders, gather the children

02:18.640 --> 02:21.980
and those that suck the breasts,
let the bridegroom go forth of his

02:21.980 --> 02:23.980
chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

02:24.560 --> 02:28.140
Let the priests, the ministers of the
Lord, weep between the porch and the

02:28.140 --> 02:33.180
altar, and let them say, Spare thy people,
O Lord, and give not thine heritage to

02:33.180 --> 02:35.760
reproach, that the heathen should rule
over them.

02:36.140 --> 02:39.300
Wherefore should they say among the
people, Where is their God?

02:40.020 --> 02:42.920
Then will the Lord be jealous for his
land, and pity his people.

02:43.600 --> 02:48.260
Yea, the Lord will answer, and say unto
his people, Behold, I will send you corn,

02:48.480 --> 02:51.520
and wine, and oil, and ye shall be
satisfied therewith.

02:52.060 --> 02:55.980
And I will no more make you a reproach
among the heathen, but I will remove far

02:55.980 --> 02:59.940
off from you the northern army,
and will drive him into a land barren and

02:59.940 --> 03:04.320
desolate, with his face toward the east
sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost

03:04.320 --> 03:04.720
sea.

03:05.140 --> 03:10.140
And his stink shall come up, and his ill
savour shall come up, because he hath done

03:10.140 --> 03:11.060
great things.

03:11.560 --> 03:16.840
Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice,
for the Lord will do great things.

03:17.340 --> 03:21.040
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field,
for the pastures of the wilderness do

03:21.040 --> 03:25.260
spring, for the tree beareth her fruit,
the fig tree and the vine do yield their

03:25.260 --> 03:25.760
strength.

03:26.140 --> 03:29.920
Be glad then, ye children of Zion,
and rejoice in the Lord your God,

03:30.260 --> 03:34.060
for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down

03:34.060 --> 03:38.200
for you the rain, the former rain,
and the latter rain in the first month.

03:38.700 --> 03:42.600
And the floors shall be full of wheat,
and the fats shall overflow with wine and

03:42.600 --> 03:42.840
oil.

03:43.360 --> 03:47.380
And I will restore to you the years that
the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm and

03:47.380 --> 03:51.300
the caterpillar, and the palmerworm,
my great army which I sent among you.

03:51.700 --> 03:55.540
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be
satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord

03:55.540 --> 03:59.820
your God, that hath dealt wondrously with
you, and my people shall never be ashamed.

04:00.380 --> 04:04.820
And ye shall know that I am in the midst
of Israel, and that I am the Lord your

04:04.820 --> 04:08.680
God, and none else, and my people shall
never be ashamed.

04:09.400 --> 04:13.680
And it shall come to pass afterward that I
will pour out my spirit upon all flesh,

04:14.100 --> 04:18.300
and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,

04:18.660 --> 04:20.040
your young men shall see visions.

04:20.900 --> 04:24.840
And also upon the servants and upon the
handmaids in those days will I pour out my

04:24.840 --> 04:29.460
spirit, and I will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth, blood and fire

04:29.460 --> 04:31.000
and pillars of smoke.

04:31.700 --> 04:36.720
The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before the great

04:36.720 --> 04:38.660
and the terrible day of the Lord come.

04:39.260 --> 04:43.320
And it shall come to pass that whosoever
shall call on the name of the Lord shall

04:43.320 --> 04:43.840
be delivered.

04:44.380 --> 04:48.520
For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall
be deliverance, as the Lord hath said,

04:49.020 --> 04:51.420
and in the remnant whom the Lord shall
call.
