Joel 2:10, 12-15a
The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.
βNow, therefore,β says the LORD,
βTurn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.β
So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
Who knows if He will turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him....
Hosea 14:1-2
Israel, return to the LORD your God.
You have stumbled because of your sins.
Return to the LORD, and say these things to him:
"Forgive all our sins, and kindly receive us.
Then we'll praise you with our lips.

"Come back Come back" by Lamb πΆ
Hosea 11:1-4
When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son.
The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols.
Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them.
I led them with cords of kindness, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them....
Hosea 11:8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel?....My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender.
"Ephraim" by Lamb
As ancient Israel - so America
Hosea 8:7
For they sow the wind and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no meal; if it were to yield, strangers and aliens would eat it up.
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea!
For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.
Revelation 12:12
Hebrews 9:27-28
People die once, and after that they are judged.
Likewise, Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of humanity, and after that he will appear a second time.
This time he will not deal with sin, but he will save those who eagerly wait for him.
