Joel 3:16

"Roar From Zion"

The LORD will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the sky will tremble.  But the LORD will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel."  The Lord is called "The Lion of the tribe of Judah" in Revelation 5:5, and He 'ROARS' as a Lion, but is also known as a lamb.  The many faces and facets of Almighty God are resplendent throughout the Word of God.  But, before it's all over, the enemies of God's people will remember the "Roar From Zion."

Who are God's people?  All who call on His name; anyone and everyone who receives Him as their Savior, is filled with His spirit and baptized in His name.  His "roar" is to protect His own!  His love is for every nation, kindred and tongue; His mercy extends to every corner of the earth: North, South, East and West.  He's coming back, but before that wonderful day; He will gather His children from every nation, and He will roar against anyone who comes against them! 

   

The nail-scarred hands of Jesus Christ hold an impression of the world He died for.  He shed His blood for all mankind and no person can escape His love  ...  even those who reject Him; He will reach for them all the way to the end!

The Lord Jesus Christ is a Savior, a warrior, a lion, a lamb, a King, a protector, the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star, The Creator, a lover, a wind beneath your wings, the fairest of ten thousand, a cloud by day and a fire by night, a "savor" for your soul, the depth of your yearning, the purpose of your groan, the One who bottles your tears, and He IS: THE GOD, the only God and Lord of all  ... "ONE" sits on the throne!

ROAR, My Lord!  Let the whole earth tremble at the sound, for the time is short, and every nation flounders, because Your coming is near!  The winds carry the heat of Your nostrils; the rains splash the tears from Your eyes; the earth groans for yearning for Your return; the animals are restless and sense the open heavens; the Angels are sent forth at Your roar  ...  and it's all for the endtime ingathering, the final call for every man, woman, and child on the face of planet earth to come  ...  Lord Jesus, we seem to hear You call out, "Come unto Me, for I will give You rest."  

Can you hear it?  The Roar from Zion!  There are abundant Roars all around!  The Roars of the Church, the people of God shouting in triumph for their soon-coming King!  The Roars of the Nations as Joel 2:28 falls from the heavens!  The Roars of Miracles, Signs and Wonders, as the Power of the Lion frees, heals and delivers! 

Maranatha, Lord Jesus!  We hear the pounding of the hooves; we see the flashes in the skies; we feel the brush of Angels' wings!  Oh, we welcome the sound of the Roar, Lord Jesus!  ...  Roar From Zion!
