00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:46.380
We<00:00:41.140><c> also</c><00:00:41.479><c> noted</c><00:00:41.759><c> that</c><00:00:42.439><c> the</c><00:00:42.640><c> Day</c><00:00:42.820><c> of</c><00:00:42.960><c> the</c><00:00:43.140><c> Lord</c><00:00:44.060><c> was</c><00:00:45.399><c> salvation</c>

00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.960
We<00:00:55.259><c> remember</c><00:00:55.719><c> too</c><00:00:56.020><c> that</c><00:00:57.060><c> the</c><00:00:57.320><c> name</c><00:00:57.719><c> Joel</c><00:00:58.280><c> means</c><00:00:59.520><c> the</c><00:01:00.200><c> Lord</c><00:01:00.600><c> is</c>

God,<00:01:02.479><c> and</c><00:01:02.619><c> was</c><00:01:02.979><c> in</c><00:01:03.259><c> fact</c><00:01:03.659><c> a</c><00:01:04.340><c> summary</c><00:01:04.760><c> of</c><00:01:05.519><c> his</c><00:01:05.840><c> prophecy,</c><00:01:07.560><c> a</c><00:01:07.780><c> summary</c><00:01:08.099><c> of</c>

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:14.159
the<00:01:08.700><c> sovereignty</c><00:01:09.260><c> of</c><00:01:09.640><c> God,</c><00:01:09.900><c> both</c><00:01:10.219><c> in</c><00:01:10.500><c> salvation</c><00:01:11.140><c> and</c><00:01:12.719><c> in</c><00:01:13.200><c> destruction.</c>

00:01:15.819 --> 00:01:20.840
We<00:01:16.500><c> also</c><00:01:17.159><c> noted</c><00:01:17.599><c> that</c><00:01:18.379><c> unlike</c><00:01:19.000><c> most</c><00:01:19.379><c> of</c><00:01:19.540><c> the</c><00:01:19.659><c> other</c><00:01:20.000><c> prophets,</c>

00:01:20.859 --> 00:01:24.319
he<00:01:20.939><c> does</c><00:01:21.260><c> not</c><00:01:21.500><c> mention</c><00:01:21.819><c> any</c><00:01:22.180><c> king</c><00:01:22.459><c> by</c><00:01:22.780><c> name,</c><00:01:23.840><c> and</c><00:01:23.939><c> therefore</c>

00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.200
it<00:01:24.500><c> is</c><00:01:24.659><c> very</c><00:01:24.920><c> difficult</c><00:01:25.359><c> to</c><00:01:25.700><c> date</c><00:01:25.920><c> his</c><00:01:26.219><c> prophecy.</c>

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:33.959
He<00:01:29.159><c> contains</c><00:01:29.900><c> a</c><00:01:30.000><c> number</c><00:01:30.379><c> of</c><00:01:30.900><c> references</c><00:01:31.319><c> to</c><00:01:31.739><c> Zion</c><00:01:32.060><c> and</c><00:01:32.319><c> to</c><00:01:32.540><c> Jerusalem,</c><00:01:33.920><c> and</c>

00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.879
therefore<00:01:34.280><c> we</c><00:01:34.500><c> can</c><00:01:35.159><c> safely</c><00:01:35.560><c> conclude</c><00:01:36.560><c> that</c><00:01:36.980><c> it</c><00:01:37.060><c> was</c><00:01:37.280><c> written</c>

00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.700
in<00:01:38.680><c> the</c><00:01:38.980><c> south,</c><00:01:40.500><c> to</c><00:01:40.680><c> the</c><00:01:40.900><c> two</c><00:01:41.099><c> tribes</c><00:01:41.519><c> in</c><00:01:41.799><c> the</c><00:01:41.939><c> south,</c><00:01:42.400><c> after</c>

the<00:01:43.040><c> split</c><00:01:43.239><c> in</c><00:01:43.480><c> the</c><00:01:43.599><c> kingdom,</c><00:01:44.680><c> after</c><00:01:45.379><c> Solomon.</c>

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:55.340
We<00:01:48.680><c> dated</c><00:01:49.019><c> it</c><00:01:49.400><c> approximately</c><00:01:50.159><c> 850</c><00:01:51.819><c> BC,</c><00:01:53.299><c> because</c><00:01:53.959><c> there</c><00:01:54.920><c> was</c>

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:59.680
no<00:01:55.780><c> mention</c><00:01:56.159><c> of</c><00:01:56.459><c> the</c><00:01:56.620><c> Assyrian</c><00:01:57.099><c> or</c><00:01:57.439><c> Babylonian</c><00:01:58.219><c> menace,</c><00:01:59.420><c> and</c>

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.280
just<00:01:59.900><c> to</c><00:02:00.180><c> refresh</c><00:02:00.459><c> our</c><00:02:00.719><c> memories,</c><00:02:02.579><c> the</c><00:02:02.780><c> chart</c><00:02:02.939><c> on</c><00:02:03.180><c> the</c><00:02:03.359><c> board,</c>

most<00:02:05.219><c> of</c><00:02:05.379><c> you</c><00:02:05.540><c> know</c><00:02:05.760><c> it</c><00:02:06.079><c> pretty</c><00:02:06.219><c> well</c><00:02:06.459><c> by</c><00:02:06.719><c> now.</c>

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.960
We<00:02:07.780><c> find</c><00:02:07.959><c> here</c><00:02:08.340><c> the</c><00:02:08.580><c> Assyrian</c><00:02:09.080><c> Empire,</c><00:02:09.599><c> the</c><00:02:09.759><c> Babylonian</c><00:02:10.360><c> Empire</c><00:02:10.740><c> and</c>

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.159
the<00:02:11.180><c> Persian</c><00:02:11.439><c> Empire.</c><00:02:12.620><c> Now</c><00:02:12.740><c> neither</c><00:02:13.000><c> the</c><00:02:13.259><c> Assyrian</c><00:02:13.659><c> or</c><00:02:13.919><c> the</c>

00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:25.560
So<00:02:18.300><c> one</c><00:02:18.520><c> can</c><00:02:19.000><c> safely</c><00:02:19.360><c> assume</c><00:02:19.780><c> that</c><00:02:19.979><c> it</c><00:02:20.180><c> either</c><00:02:20.340><c> happened</c><00:02:20.659><c> a</c><00:02:20.879><c> long</c><00:02:21.139><c> time</c><00:02:21.379><c> before</c><00:02:22.039><c> the</c><00:02:22.680><c> Assyrian</c><00:02:23.620><c> Empire</c><00:02:24.259><c> came</c><00:02:24.599><c> into</c><00:02:24.860><c> power,</c><00:02:25.259><c> or</c>

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:31.120

00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.039
But<00:02:31.960><c> we</c><00:02:32.159><c> will</c><00:02:32.280><c> notice</c><00:02:32.500><c> from</c><00:02:32.740><c> the</c><00:02:32.979><c> prophecy</c><00:02:33.199><c> as</c><00:02:33.400><c> we</c><00:02:33.520><c> are</c><00:02:33.520><c> reading</c><00:02:33.800><c> from</c>

00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:38.680
it<00:02:34.219><c> tonight,</c><00:02:35.039><c> it</c><00:02:35.120><c> will</c><00:02:35.300><c> have</c><00:02:35.520><c> to</c><00:02:35.719><c> be</c><00:02:36.300><c> before</c><00:02:37.080><c> Amos.</c>

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.699
We<00:02:41.419><c> also</c><00:02:41.719><c> noted</c><00:02:42.000><c> that</c><00:02:42.360><c> in</c><00:02:42.560><c> the</c><00:02:42.680><c> last</c><00:02:42.960><c> chapter,</c><00:02:44.120><c> the</c><00:02:44.240><c> enemies</c>

00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:55.159
The<00:02:51.520><c> suggestion</c><00:02:51.939><c> we</c><00:02:52.159><c> put</c><00:02:52.340><c> forward</c><00:02:52.919><c> was</c><00:02:53.539><c> that</c><00:02:54.460><c> the</c><00:02:54.800><c> prophecy</c>

00:02:59.379 --> 00:03:01.580
because<00:02:59.520><c> we</c><00:02:59.699><c> will</c><00:02:59.919><c> remember</c><00:03:00.219><c> that</c><00:03:00.460><c> Jehoash</c><00:03:00.819><c> was</c><00:03:01.000><c> only</c><00:03:01.280><c> seven</c>
