Joel 2:4-5 NLT https://www.bible.com/bible/116/jol.2.4-5.nlt “The Lord is at the head of the column. He leads them with a shout. This is his mighty army, and they follow his orders. The day of the Lord is an awesome, terrible thing. Who can possibly survive?”
Joel 2:11 NLT https://www.bible.com/bible/116/jol.2.11.nlt “Don’t tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish. Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve, sending you a blessing instead of this curse. Perhaps you will be able to offer grain and wine to the Lord your God as before.”
Joel 2:13-14 NLT https://www.bible.com/bible/116/jol.2.13-14.nlt “Gather all the people— the elders, the children, and even the babies. Call the bridegroom from his quarters and the bride from her private room.”

And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”
