Joel 3

YHWH promises to restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity and gather all nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat for judgment against those who scattered Israel's people, divided the land, and treated them as commodities.[1][2] After YHWH's victory, Israel will experience abundant restoration with flowing streams and fertile land, while enemy nations like Egypt and Edom will become desolate wastelands, and YHWH will dwell eternally in Zion.[1][2]
