Joel 2:1-11 is another description of the Day of the Lord's wrath and it says: the like of that Day has never been seen and never will be again. It WILL happen as prophesied and relaxing is not an option.
You need to go buy some, actually many study guides, and some spend serious hours trying to understand bible prophecy. But first, forget everything you know about bible prophecy and start from scratch. Joel 2:1-11 isn't about Christians. It's about Christ gathering the enemies of God to war before He destroys them.
Keras, Christ is not gathering Christians to slaughter. You need to relax! Take a chill pill because the day of the Lord's wrath will not overtake us, 1 Thessalonians 5:4. We are appointed to salvation through Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:9. Therefore comfort one another, 1 Thessalonians 5:11. Relax and stop promoting a false global CME apocalypse! Joel 2 isn't a prophecy about it either.
Joel 2:1-11 (ERV)
1 Blow the trumpet on Zion.
Shout a warning on my holy mountain.
Let all the people who live in the land shake with fear.
The Lord’s special day is coming;
it is near.
2 It will be a dark, gloomy day.
It will be a dark and cloudy day.
At sunrise you will see the army spread over the mountains.
It will be a great and powerful army.
There has never been anything like it before,
and there will never be anything like it again.
3 The army will destroy the land like a burning fire.
In front of them the land will be like the Garden of Eden.
Behind them the land will be like an empty desert.
Nothing will escape them.
4 They look like horses.
They run like war horses.
5 Listen to them.
It is like the noise of chariots
riding over the mountains.
It is like the noise of flames
burning the chaff.
They are a powerful people,
who are ready for war.
6 Before this army, people shake with fear.
Their faces become pale from fear.
7 The soldiers run fast.
They climb over the walls.
Each soldier marches straight ahead.
They don’t move from their path.
8 They don’t trip each other.
Each soldier walks in his own path.
If one of the soldiers is hit and falls down,
the others keep right on marching.
9 They run to the city.
They quickly climb over the wall.
They climb into the houses.
They climb through the windows like thieves.
10 Before them, earth and sky shake.
The sun and the moon become dark, and the stars stop shining.
11 The Lord calls loudly to his army.
His camp is very large.
The army obeys his commands.
His army is very powerful.
The Lord’s special day is a great and terrible day.
No one can stop it.
All will see who the fool is, in due course.
Are you incapable of reading and understanding what I write? My post #122 on this thread has many prophesies saying how that Day will become dark, caused by the approaching mass and later by the fires and storms.
None of the translations you quote render that verse properly, the translators had no clue as to what Joel 2:1-11 meant. But with the knowledge that the Lord will use a CME sunstrike to judge and punish the earth on His Day of wrath, then the prophesies about that Day, become understandable and logical.
Oh so now you're the expert on bible translations too and every other translations are faulty right?
Re the four horsemen of Zechariah and Revelation, I see you have no counter to the truth of them being the same.
We already went over this Keras. I posted a rebuttal in post#131. You just haven't refuted it yet. Read below.
Four horsemen of the apocalypse of Revelation: White, Black, Red and Pale verses three horses of Zechariah 1:8: Red, Brown and White. Difference number of horses and different colors. They're not the same scripture. The burden of proof falls on you Keras to prove they're the same, not me. I don't need to prove they're different because they're clearly different.
Four horsemen of the apocalypse of Revelation: White, Black, Red and Pale verses four chariots with horses colored: White, Black, Red and Spotted. Horses and chariots are not the same, neither are the same colors.
Zechariah is not prophesying over the 4 horsemen that John wrote. in
Zechariah 6:2-3, it's chariots with horse
s (plural) of different colors: Red, black, white and spotted.
Zechariah 6:2-3 New King James Version (NKJV)
2 With the first chariot were red horses, with the second chariot black horses, 3 with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot dappled horses—strong steeds.
Zechariah is not prophesying over the 4 horsemen that John wrote. in
Zechariah 1:8, it's 3 single horses of 3 different colors: Red, brown, and white.
Zechariah 1:8 New King James Version (NKJV)
I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were horses: red, sorrel, and white.
Zechariah 1:8 and
Zechariah 6:2-3 are not parallel scriptures and they are not John's prophecy in Revelation. Unless you're willing to double check in an effort to find others scriptures as evidence they are all parallel verses, you're just speculating based on first impression without exercising due diligence.
Keras, you're obviously trying to turn the table around because it's apparent you can't prove they're the same scriptures. So your only rebuttal is to demand I prove they're not the same. Well just read the scriptures, it proves itself. And the bible proves you're wrong. Numbers and colors are not the same. Horses and chariots are not the same. You're just wrong and too prideful to admit it.

I thank you and Keras for hanging in here with my question. Hugs
