May 25, 2011 – Joel 3-4

It talks about at the end of things we will be beating our plowshares into swords and fighting.  I wonder if this is pointing towards the spiritual warfare that we have talked about in the past or an actual war battle that is going to have to be fought towards the end of things.  You get the sense from things like Christ talking about the end and His preaching and Revelation that the end will come quickly and all of a sudden.  There really isn’t a mention of battling against evil, at least not in some physical way.  Maybe it is pointing more to the exile and Israel, but maybe there is going to be some physical battle before it is all over.  The end is a very mysterious thing.
