Book of Joel Chapter 3 Vs. 14

 The Lord Judges the Nations

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14

Multitudes, multitudes in... An innumerable host will be assembled in the valley of decision (also called the Valley of Jehoshaphat, Joel 3:2, 3:12). Here the divine Judge’s verdict will be executed on the nations.

for the day... These multitudes are the heathen armies of many nations that are judged in the valley, and found guilty as charged. God, Himself, destroys them.

valley of decision...This location is the same as the valley of Jehoshaphat where the sentence of judgment will be carried out (3:2, 12).

This is synonymous with the valley of Jehoshaphat (verse 2). The scene is not one where the multitudes are in the midst of making a decision in favor of the Lord and repenting of their sin. Rather, the decision is made by God, a decision to judge the multitudes for their treatment of Judah and Jerusalem!

This judgment will be meted out against them in the Day of the Lord that takes place in the Great Tribulation.

An innumerable host will be assembled in the valley of decision (also called the Valley of Jehoshaphat, Joel 3:2, 3:12). Here the divine Judge’s verdict will be executed on the nations.
