Joel 3:2 NASB95 I will gather all the nations And bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,

There will come a day when the Lord will gather all the "nations." This word can mean nation but it can also mean "people."

He will bring them down to the lowland for "Jehoshaphat." Jehoshaphat means Jehovah Judgment.

All the people will be brought down from their prideful perch of sin and stand before Yahweh for His Divine Judgement. This judgment will be pure, righteous, and holy.

People often ask, " What about this person or that person? Why am I struggling while they appear to continue in sin? The answer is that all people will be judged by Jehovah in a just and correct judgment. Only when your sins have been paid for by Jehovah's Salvation "Jesus" will you be found innocent. All others will be given their righteous punishment of eternal death in the lake of fire separated from God.

The Judgement will be on behalf of the Lord's people, and the Lord's inheritance.

My people are those whom He purchased through redemption.

My inheritance is also a heritage or heirloom. This is speaking of His covenant descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He makes this clear as He refers to them by their nation's name, Israel.

The Judgement will be on behalf of His Church and His nation. Whom they have scattered among the nations; And they have divided up My land.

There should be, according to this text, a cautious awareness of how The Lord's Church and His Nation are treated.

Both of these are attacked by Satan and those who are his children, as Jesus referred to them.

Be careful how you treat God's possessions for there will be a judgment on our behalf.

Trust in the Lord. He will be with you and bring about your peace in His presence. While those who refuse Jesus will not receive Jehovah's Salvation.
