Joel
"Consecrate a fast"
Text: Joel 2:15
A SECOND CALL TO CONSECRATE A FAST
The first Call to fast had been made (Joel 1:14). It had apparently fallen on deaf ears. A second Call was made by the prophet Joel.
“Blow the trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast,
Call a sacred assembly;
Gather the people,
Sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and nursing babes;
Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber,
And the bride from her dressing room.”
Joel 2:15-16
