Joel 2:11
Verse 11 of 32. The 2nd of 3 chapters in Joel, in The Minor Prophets.
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:

15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

We are here directed to look up both him who is the commander-in-chief of this formidable army, and that is God himself, v. 11. It is his army; it is his camp. He raised it; he gives it commission; he utters his voice before it, as the general gives orders to his army what to do and makes a speech to animate the soldiers; it is the Lord that gives the word of command to all these animals, which they…
