“Come quickly!
All you nations!
All around!
Gather yourselves there!
Bring down your warriors!
O Yahweh!
Let the nations
Rouse themselves!
Let them come up
To the valley of Jehoshaphat!
There,
I will sit to judge
All the neighboring nations!”
Joel seems to call the nations and countries to gather at the Valley of Jehoshaphat. He even wanted Yahweh to send his heavenly warriors, the angels. Yahweh was going to sit in judgment against all the neighbors of Israel.
