Joel
"I will sell your sons and your daughters"
Text: Joel 3:8
THE ENEMY NATIONS
The enemy nations in this particular context were Tyre and Sidon. They were very closely knit. They are often referred together. They are called by some to be “twin cities”. They were the expert sea-faring nations. One of the wicked things they did was to sell the children of Israel. The LORD gave to them a stern word of warning.
“I will sell your sons and daughters
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to Sabeans,
To a people far off;
For the LORD has spoken.”
Joel 3:8
