Joel 3:2

2 aI will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And bI will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land,

Joel 3:9-17

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
cConsecrate for war;
Or  Consecrate a war

stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
let them come up.
10 eBeat your plowshares into swords,
and fyour pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
11 gHasten and come,
all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves there.
hBring down your warriors, O Lord.
12Let the nations stir themselves up
and come up to ithe Valley of Jehoshaphat;
jfor there I will sit to judge
all the surrounding nations.
13 kPut in the sickle,
lfor the harvest is ripe.
mGo in, tread,
nfor the winepress is full.
The vats overflow,
for their evil is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes,
in the valley of decision!
For othe day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
15 pThe sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 qThe Lord roars from Zion,
and rutters his voice from Jerusalem,
sand the heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is ta refuge to his people,
a stronghold to the people of Israel.

The Glorious Future of Judah

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

Zephaniah 3:19

19Behold, at that time yI will deal
with all your oppressors.
And zI will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change aatheir shame into abpraise
and renown in all the earth.

Haggai 2:21-22

21Speak to acZerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, adI am about to shake the heavens and the earth, 22and aeto overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I am about to destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations, and afoverthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall go down, agevery one by the sword of his brother.

Revelation of John 6:4-17

4And out came another horse, ahbright red. Its rider was permitted aito take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.

5When he opened the third seal, I heard the ajthird living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, aka black horse! And its rider had a pair of scales in his hand. 6And I heard what seemed to be a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, al“A quart
Greek choinix, a dry measure equal to about a quart
of wheat for a denarius,
A  denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
and three quarts of barley for a denarius, and aodo not harm the oil and wine!”

7When he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of apthe fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8And I looked, and behold, aqa pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill arwith sword and with famine and with pestilence and asby wild beasts of the earth.

9When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under atthe altar authe souls of those who had been slain avfor the word of God and for awthe witness they had borne. 10They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, axholy and true, ayhow long azbefore you will judge and baavenge our blood on bbthose who dwell on the earth?” 11Then they were each given bca white robe and bdtold to rest a little longer, beuntil the number of their fellow servants
Greek  fellow bondservants
and their brothers
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church
bhshould be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

12When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, bithere was a great earthquake, and bjthe sun became black as bksackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13and blthe stars of the sky fell to the earth bmas the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 bnThe sky vanished bolike a scroll that is being rolled up, and bpevery mountain and island was removed from its place. 15Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave
Or servant; Greek bondservant
and free, brhid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains,
16 bscalling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of bthim who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17for buthe great day of their wrath has come, and bvwho can stand?”

Revelation of John 8:7-13

7The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed bwhail and bxfire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a bythird of the earth was burned up, and a third of bzthe trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.

8The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like caa great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea cbbecame blood. 9A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of ccthe ships were destroyed.

10The third angel blew his trumpet, and cda great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on cethe springs of water. 11The name of the star is Wormwood.
 Wormwood is the name of a plant and of the bitter-tasting extract derived from it
A third of the waters cgbecame wormwood, and many people died from the water, chbecause it had been made bitter.

12The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of cithe sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.

13Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, cjWoe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!”
