Title: The War to End all Wars (3 of 3)
Series: A Closer Look at the Book: JOEL
Text: Joel 3
It was the British author, H.G. Wells, that coined the expression: "The war that will end war" to describe World War One, which had broken out in Europe in September 1914. Wells believed the conflict would create a new world order that would make future conflict impossible.
It would do so, Wells believed, by crushing the militarism of Germany under the Kaiser and its allies, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires.
The Allies - Great Britain, France, and Russia - were, Wells wrote, not only soldiers in a war but "crusaders against war". We are resolved. That foolery shall end! It is the last war."
We know that WWI didn't end all wars, in fact, it merely opened the door to future conflict.
10,624 wars since beginning of mankind
260 major wars since WWI

Joel 1 -SENDS the APPEAL (CURRENT Day)
Joel 2 -SOUNDS the ALARM (COMING Day)
Joel 3 -SUMMONS the ANNOUNCEMENT (CROWNING Day)
JUDGMENT is coming
IMMEDIATELY - Day of the LOCUSTS
INESCAPABLY - Day of the LORD
INEVITABLY - Day of the LAMB
Joel 2:28-32 - Day of Pentecost (PARTIAL Fulfillment)
2000+ years we have lived in the Dispensation of Grace (Church Age). One day, the last SERMON will be preached, SONG will be sung, SOUL will be saved - last SHOUT will be heard as Jesus descends from Heaven to get His Church.
After the Rapture, 3 1/2 years of Tribulation, followed by 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation - the Time of Jacob's Trouble.
Joel 3 - Focuses on that Time - Trouble - Tribulation
(3:1) "In Those Days"
1) The Future BATTLE!
This battle is the culminating event of Bible prophecy.
A) ASSEMBLING of the Nations (1-2)
OT - Israel carried into captivity.
NT - Israel under Roman rule.
A.D. 70 destroys temple.
Roman Emperor Titus burns the c ...
