The Valley of Decision

 The Valley of Jehosaphat, the Valley of Decision

Joel 3:9-21 - ESV

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Consecrate for war;
    stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
    let them come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords,
    and your pruning hooks into spears;
    let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”

11 Hasten and come,
    all you surrounding nations,
    and gather yourselves there.
Bring down your warriors, O Lord.
12 Let the nations stir themselves up
    and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
for there I will sit to judge
    all the surrounding nations.

13 Put in the sickle,
    for the harvest is ripe.
Go in, tread,
    for the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
    for their evil is great.

14 Multitudes, multitudes,
    in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
    in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened,
    and the stars withdraw their shining.

16 The Lord roars from Zion,
    and utters his voice from Jerusalem,
    and the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is a refuge to his people,
    a stronghold to the people of Israel.

The Glorious Future of Judah

17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
    who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy,
    and strangers shall never again pass through it.

18 “And in that day
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and the hills shall flow with milk,
and all the streambeds of Judah
    shall flow with water;
and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
    and water the Valley of Shittim.

19 “Egypt shall become a desolation
    and Edom a desolate wilderness,
for the violence done to the people of Judah,
    because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
    and Jerusalem to all generations.
21 I will avenge their blood,
    blood I have not avenged,[d]
    for the Lord dwells in Zion.”

The analogy between the dual nature (spirit-matter) of the true Light God and the dual natural (wave-particle) of Albert  Einstein's natural light theory There is no doubt that we live in a time when people are running from here to there and from there to here, and science is multiplying by leaps and bounds. Four hundred years before Christ (400 BC), God gave a Word to the Prophet Daniel, but it was not for his time, but for these times, which we are witnessing now. Then God tells him: " But you, Daniel,  shut up the words and  mark the book, until  the time of the end.  Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase." (Daniel 12:4- ESV).   In the last fifty years, with the discoveries of "Quantum Physics," technological achievements have occurred at such a dizzying rate that it has gripped the world in ways previously only imagined in science fiction. Some of these innovations transformed our daily lives, such as electricity, radio, television, fiber o

La Palabra de Dios para estos tiempos de Daniel 12:4  "Los  creyentes en el Evangelio  de Jesucristo estamos enfrentando al gigante cuyas ideas y pensamientos son contrarias a los valores y preceptos del evangelio. Estamos recibiendo el desprecio, las amenazas y el bulling del gigante que habiendo conocido a Dios, no le glorificaron como a Dios, ni le dieron gracias, sino que se envanecieron en sus razonamientos, y su necio corazón fue entenebrecido.   Profesando ser sabios, se hicieron necios,   y cambiaron la gloria del Dios incorruptible en semejanza de imagen de hombre corruptible, de aves, de cuadrúpedos y de reptiles. En fin, los violentos y perversos hombres de los que habla el autor de Romanos capítulo 1.        Esta historia, propia para niños por su sencillez, en estos tiempos de Daniel 12;4, cuando la ciencia se multiplica a pasos agigantados,  cobra un sin igual sentido espiritual. Todos nosotros tenemos un gigante quien todo el tiempo nos amenaza con destruirnos y ent

The Resurrection of Christ

  1 Corinthians 15 English Standard Version The Resurrection of Christ 15  Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,   2  and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3  For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,   4  that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,   5  and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.   6  Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.   7  Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.   8  Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.   9  For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.   10  But by the grace of God I am what I
