but to the children of the Night who had not put on the whole<br />

armour of God because they were expecting to "fly away"<br />

and did not think they would have to "stand" in that day. Oh,<br />

preacher friend, it is time that we<br />

BLOW THE TRUMPET IN ZION<br />

Joel 2:1-11: "Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an<br />

alarm in my holy mountain:" (You see, friends, it is God's<br />

people who need to be alerted in this hour, they who are<br />

sleeping need to be awakened).."Let all the inhabitants of<br />

the land tremble: for the DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, for it<br />

is nigh at hand..A day of DARKNESS AND GLOOMINESS, a<br />

day of CLOUDS and of THICK DARKNESS, AS THE MORNING<br />

SPREAD UPON THE MOUNTAINS: A GREAT PEOPLE AND A<br />

STRONG!"<br />

<strong>At</strong> the very same time that darkness and gloominess spreads<br />

over the land during this Day of the Lord, to those who are<br />

children of the Day there is a great and glorious SUNRISE.<br />

Isa 28:2 says "<strong>The</strong> Lord hath a MIGHTY AND A STRONG<br />

ONE" . . and we find this to be His body in the earth. Daniel<br />

said that "they that do know their God shall be STRONG and<br />

do exploits." And here Joel sees them coming forth at the<br />

dawn of the Day of the Lord, a day of darkness and terror for<br />

the godless and unbelieving people of this world. Joel 2:11<br />

says "the Day of the Lord is GREAT and VERY TERRIBLE: and<br />

who can abide it?" Great for the children of the Day, and<br />

very terrible for the children of the Night. Verse 31 says that<br />

the sun "shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into<br />

blood, before the GREAT and the TERRIBLE Day of the Lord<br />

come." Preachers, let us stop telling God's people that they<br />

can just sit down in their rocking chairs and wait for a<br />

"<strong>Rapture</strong>" to carry them off to a far-away land of fantasy<br />

where they will eat their "pie-in-the-sky" while the two<br />

billions of people on earth suffer under the heel of the devil<br />

and anti-christ. Let's tell them the truth that they have been<br />

saved and called for the purpose of putting all the forces of<br />

anti-christ and all the hordes of hell under their feet and<br />

delivering the masses of earth from the power of Satan and<br />
