Joe 2:15-16 | MHM | STEP | v. 15–16 : The prophet calls for a public gathering: "Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly. Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, even infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber" (Joel 2:15–16 ). This shows everyone must participate, from the oldest leaders to the youngest children, even those who are busy with important personal events. Everyone should come together to seek God’s mercy.
