1Blow you^2f the trumpet in Tziyon [parched place], and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) comes, for [it is] near at hand;

2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there has not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many generations.

3A fire devours before them; and behind them a flame burns: the land [is] as the garden of ‘Eden [pleasure] before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yes, and nothing shall escape them.

4The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array (to put on; to clothe).

6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk everyone in his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

11And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executes his word: for the day of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

12Therefore also now, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), turn you^2f [even] to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:

13And rend (tear apart; forcefully rip apart) your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents him of the evil.

14Who knows [if] he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]?

15Blow the trumpet in Tziyon [parched place], sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) a fast, call a solemn assembly:

16Gather the people, sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.

17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare youⁱ people, O LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and give not yourⁱ heritage to reproach (disgrace; shame), that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where [is] their God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]?

18Then will the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

19Yes, the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you^2f shall be satisfied with that: and I will no more make you a reproach (disgrace; shame) among the heathen:

20But I will remove far off from you the northern [army], and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he has done great things.

21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) will do great things.

22Be not afraid, you^2f beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

23Be glad then, you^2f children of Tziyon [parched place], and rejoice in the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].

24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

25And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

26And you^2f shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

27And you^2f shall know that I [am] in the midst of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and [that] I [am] the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) your God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

28And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

30And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) come.

32And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall be delivered: for in mount Tziyon [parched place] and in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] shall be deliverance, as the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall call.
