Is that referring to the destruction of Jerusalem?

“Is that referring to the destruction of Jerusalem?”
I take it that a man posting up a vanity thread and commenting on scripture should be looking it up or at least re-reading Joel which is quite short. Afterall, your vanity thread here presupposes you as either very literate or a Bible expert.
Valley of Johesphat ~Kidron Valley is the place of final judgement and Joel is essentially an apocolyptic text, “Day of the Lord” stuff etc. Jerusalem enemies gather to destroy it, God encourages Judahs enemies...turn plowshare to swords,etc. but God vindicates or saves them(Judah/Jerusalem). The locusts are a back story matching up to the apocolyptic part of Joel. Locusts overrunning Judah, Jerusalems enemies overtaking Jerusalem, but all is turned back or defeated.
Yadda Yadda Yadda, it’s your thread!
