The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and
give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over

JOE 2:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his
people.
JOE 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I
will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied
therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
JOE 2:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will
drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east
sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come
