Joel 3:1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 3:2 I 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.

The above prophecy refers to the Day of Pentecost. This is when God brought again the captivity of his true Israel. They came into His true Kingdom there at Pentecost. See that he gathered ALL nations here also. See this salvation which came at Pentecost was for ALL FLESH. All people. The whole world, not just the Jews or Israel. So then the valley of Jehosaphat is also the valley of decision, or the Church ages where the people are called to come and repent and live for Christ. If they refuse this time of decision, then destruction awaits them.

Joel 3:3 And 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. 3:4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head; 3:5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things: 3:6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

In the above verses, we have a description of how the fake church started immediately into casting lots for God’s people. They were ‘buying and selling�?them. They were luring them into fancy buildings, man-made programs, holiday celebrations, showing partiality, turning worship into talent shows, preaching became entertainment etc. Thus they ‘sold�?God’s people to the ‘Grecians�?or carnality. Grecian means drunkenness, partying, fleshly-living-it-up, etc. So the ‘church�?went into law and idol worship as before. They glory in their ‘suppers�? their fellowships, their fun times. But where is prayer? Bible study? True Worship? Where are the gifts of the Spirit to magnify the true power of God? Why do they not dote on these things? Because they went into the Grecian kingdom of carnality.

Read in Rev. 18 how Babylon sold all these things even souls of men. This is her mark, buying and selling. You cannot ‘buy and sell�?= (partake of her money schemes) unless you have her ‘mark�? You cannot do it. You will not be able to, for the truth of God inside you will not let you see or buy the things of God. The true Church ‘GIVES�? And I do not mean giving tithes to fake men and churches. I mean what you have from God, you freely give it. If you have a message you freely give it. You do not take pay for preaching the Word. If you sing, you freely do this. If you can heal the sick, you do as Peter and John, freely give it. If you take pay for it, you have entered into the mark of this beast church and will end up in hell.

Joe 3:7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head: 3:8 And 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. 3:9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 3:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

Beating the plowshares ( preaching the Word for salvation) into swords shows the closing off of Grace and the starting of the judgment ministry by which we destroy Babylon. See the call for His mighty ones (the army of Joel two) to come down. This is the assembling

of God’s people together. It is NOT attending their entertainment shows each Sunday and Wednesday night. It is coming into God’s true Church by the Baptism of the Holy Ghost then the Baptism of Fire to bring this judgment. Assembly with the entire Church of God by Spirit. Come out of Babylon. By one Spirit are we all Baptized INTO ONE BODY. There you have it. The true Assembling. Are you assembled? Placed into the Body?

Joel 3:12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

This was the call to the heathen to wake up and find salvation. Come into Christ for here God will judge you = by what you did with Pentecost. Did you obey? Did you repent and accept the Holy Ghost? Did you speak in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance? Did you repent and be baptized in water in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins? This is what you will be judged by, this valley of decision. Come up. Be filled with the Holy Ghost while you still can. Soon it will be too late.

Joe 3:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 3:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 3:16 The 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.

After this call to come into salvation the Acts way, the sixth seal will be upon Babylon. The sun (truth) will no longer be shining for you. The ministers will withdraw their message. God will then call his army to destroy all who rejected this great plan of glory and salvation. Where will you stand on that day? Where are you now? Examine yourselves and see whether you be in the true faith. Go by the Written Word of God. There is no other way.

Repent and receive New Testament Salvation as taught by the Apostles Peter and Paul. It is found in the Book of Acts. You will be judged by this very message. Are you too proud to let God fill you with the true Holy Ghost? Are you too proud to let him speak in tongues through you? If so, then destruction awaits you at that final judgment day.

I pray this will be a blessing to all you read it.

forsake, means to renounce or turn away from entirely......so has the church of today renounced or turned away from the Baptism of the Holy Ghost?  This was the ASSEMBLING place.  This is where we are all baptized into ONE BODY.  so this is how we are assembled together.
