A ROAR OUT OF ZION

“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.” (Joel 3:16)

Not only will the Light, and the Salvation come forth out of Zion, but we find that the Lord shall ROAR, speak, utter His voice, from Zion. There is a little verse tucked away in Jeremiah 22:29 that reads, “O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.” God seemingly has long been silent towards this earth. But “God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son…” (Heb.1:1-2). The Son came as a living expression of the Word of God. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. He brought life and incorruption to light through the Gospel. The message of the kingdom was uttered, and men rejoiced. And through the years, to His remnant He continued to speak. But for all general mankind, it has been very silent. The heavens received Him, and we wait for the times of the restoration of all things. But soon the Lord shall “ROAR OUT OF ZIONK,” and He who spake by the Son, shall in these last days speak through His sons.

“The Lord shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation. He shall mightily roar upon His habitation: He shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.” (Jer. 25:30).

But this Voice of the lord, going before the army of the Lord, is not just for devastation – it is to deal with all unrighteousness, vengeance against all sin, that salvation might flow like a river. There is a MESSAGE TO BE SPOKEN which shall bring hope and life to all His creation.

Out of Zion He shall roar,
Utter words ne’er heard before,
Settle now the wanting score,
Grace abounding more and more,
Heals the wounds and bruises sore,
Till the whole He doth restore.
