great and terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord has said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people, and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Zion, and all the coast of Palestine? Will you render me recompense? And if you recompense me swiftly and speedily, will I return your recompense upon your own head. For as you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried it into your temples, my goodly pleasant things, the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have you sold unto the Grecians, that you might remove them far from their border. Behold I will raise them out of the place where you have sold them, and I will return your recompense upon your own head, and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabians, to a people far off, for the Lord has spoken it. Name ye this among the Gentiles, prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up, beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears, let the weak say, I am strong, assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about, thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord, let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I set to judge all heathen round about, put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe, come, get ye down, for the press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great, multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision, the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining, the Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel, so shall ye know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain, then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall be no more strangers pass through her any more. Now there's a great deal of information in this passage, but what I'm hoping you see is that in the final time period of earth's history, the heathen are going to be drawn into what is called the valley of decision, all the multitudes are going to come to the valley of decision, during the time period that the latter rain is being poured out, during the time period when there's a loud cry coming out of Zion and coming out of Jerusalem, and this is the time period.
