Joel 1:15

Listen to Joel 1:15
15 Ah! Aquele dia!Sim, o dia do SENHOR está próximo;como destruição poderosa da parte do Todo-poderoso, ele virá.

Joel 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 1:15

Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord [is] at hand
A time of severer and heavier judgments than these of the locusts, caterpillars which were a presage and emblem of greater ones, even of the total destruction of their city, temple, and nation, either by the Chaldeans, or by the Romans, or both: and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come;
unawares, suddenly, and irresistibly: there is in the Hebrew text an elegant play on words, which may be rendered, as "wasting from the waster", or "destruction from the destroyer, shall it come" F24; even from the almighty God, who is able to save and destroy, and none can deliver out of his hands; see ( Isaiah 13:6 ) ; the word signifies one powerful and victorious, as Aben Ezra observes; and so it does in the Arabic language.

Joel 1:15 In-Context

13 Ponham vestes de luto, ó sacerdotes, e pranteiem;chorem alto, vocês que ministram perante o altar.Venham, passem a noite vestidos de luto,vocês que ministram perante o meu Deus;pois as ofertas de cereal e as ofertas derramadasforam suprimidas do templo do seu Deus.
14 Decretem um jejum santo;convoquem uma assembleia sagrada.Reúnam as autoridadese todos os habitantes do paísno templo do SENHOR, o seu Deus,e clamem ao SENHOR.
15 Ah! Aquele dia!Sim, o dia do SENHOR está próximo;como destruição poderosa da parte do Todo-poderoso, ele virá.
16 Não é verdade que a comida foi eliminadadiante dos nossos próprios olhos,e que a alegria e a satisfaçãoforam suprimidas do templo do nosso Deus?
17 As sementes estão murchasdebaixo dos torrões de terra.Os celeiros estão em ruínas,os depósitos de cereal foram derrubados,pois a colheita se perdeu.
