In Jeff's recent article on The Rebirth Celebration, he briefly touched on the "horses" of Joel chapter 2.

I wanted to add my own thoughts in the form of a comment, but I decided to make it a post here instead.

Joel 1:14,15 - Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders [and] all the inhabitants of the land [into] the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

Joel 2:15 - Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:

Leviticus 23:36 - Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].

Numbers 29:35 - On the eighth day ye shall have a solemn assembly: ye shall do no servile work [therein]:

Deuteronomy 16:8 - Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work [therein].

2 Chronicles 7:9 - And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

Nehemiah 8:18 - Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day [was] a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.

In every instance, the solemn assembly is in reference to Pentecost. It means “A day of restraint”.

Why the solemn assembly? What takes place at Pentecost?

Joel 2:1,2 - Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many generations.

Joel 2:4 - The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

Who is this “great people”?

Isaiah 13:2-6 (LXX) On a mountain in the plain raise a signal; raise up your voice to them; do not fear; encourage them with your hand; open, you rulers. It is I who instruct, and I lead them; (they have been consecrated for this task) and it is I who summon them. Giants come to fulfill my wrath, at the same time rejoicing and reviling. A voice of many nations on the mountains like that of many nations! A voice of kings and of nations gathered together! The Lord Sabaoth has commanded a heavily armed nation to come from a distant land, from the utmost foundation of heaven to destroy the whole world. Wail for the day of the Lord is near and a destruction will come from God!

What?! Giants come to fulfill God’s wrath? From a distant land that is located in the “utmost foundation of heaven”? Do you expect me to believe that?

Habakkuk 1:5,8 - Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you]…… Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.

Isaiah 26:19 - Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise (rapture). Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of light, and the earth shall cast out the Rapha.

In the beginning of this verse, it is speaking of the resurrection of the dead. Then at the end of the verse, it uses the term "Rapha" which is referring to "Giants" or "Nephilim".
So once again, we see around the time of the rapture, we also see a return of the Nephilim.

Psalm 78:49 - He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels [among them].

Isaiah 14:29 - Rejoice not thou whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent’s root (Satan) shall come forth a viper (Antichrist), and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.

Jeremiah 4:13,15,16 - Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled. For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim. Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, [that] watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

In an earlier study, I showed that Antichrist comes from the tribe of Dan. We also see the mention of "Watchers". These are a type of angel. In this case, fallen angels.

Isaiah 10:3 - And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation [which] shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help? and where will ye leave your glory?

Luke 21:25-28 - And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

2 Thessalonians 2:11 - And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Romans 1:21-25 - Because that, when they knew God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Perhaps these creatures which were created by God will claim to know Christ, and will lead many astray. People will worship these creatures just as they did in days of old, instead of worshiping the God that created them.

Matthew 24:23,24 - Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Christ, or there; believe [it] not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

When we look at Daniel’s image, we see in chapter 2 verse 43: “And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay”

Who are they, that mix their seed with men? It’s the same subject here. The last days, and a coming invasion.

As it was in the days of Noah, when the "Bene Ha Elohyim" or "Angels" just took whomever they chose to mingle their seed.

It led to the destruction of the world the first time; The Lord will not withhold His judgment the second time.


I don’t know when it will take place, but I know that it will.
