Book of Joel~ For the day is at hand



Joel 1:15-20 (NKJV)

[15] Alas for the day!
For the day of the Lord is at hand;
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
[16] Is not the food cut off before our eyes,
Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
[17] The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
[18] How the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are restless,
Because they have no pasture;
Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
[19] O Lord, to You I cry out;
For fire has devoured the open pastures,
And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
[20] The beasts of the field also cry out to You,
For the water brooks are dried up,
And fire has devoured the open pastures.

Book of Hosea~ He married her anyway



Hosea 1:2-3 (NKJV)

[2] When the Lord began to speak by Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea:
“Go, take yourself a wife of harlotry
And children of harlotry,
For the land has committed great harlotry
By departing from the Lord.”
[3] So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

Hosea 3:1-3 (NKJV)

[1] Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans.”
[2] So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley.
[3] And I said to her, “You shall stay with me many days; you shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man—so, too, will I be toward you.”

Book of Daniel~ Daniel’s friends thrown into the fiery furnace



Daniel 3:13-18 (NKJV)

[13] Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, gave the command to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. So they brought these men before the king.
[14] Nebuchadnezzar spoke, saying to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the gold image which I have set up?
[15] Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands?”
[16] Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.
[17] If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.
[18] But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.”

Book of Ezekiel~ Israel’s Future Blessing



Ezekiel 28:25-26 (NKJV)

[25] Thus says the Lord God: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am hallowed in them in the sight of the Gentiles, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
[26] And they will dwell safely there, build houses, and plant vineyards; yes, they will dwell securely, when I execute judgments on all those around them who despise them. Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God.”
