The field is wasted, 
The land mourns; 
For the grain is ruined, 
The new wine is dried up, 
The oil fails. 
Be ashamed, you farmers, 
Wail you vinedressers, 
For the wheat and the barley; 
Because the harvest of the field has perished. 
The vine has dried up, 
And the fig tree has withered; 
The pomegranate tree, 
The palm tree also, 
And the apple tree - 
All the trees of the field are withered; 
Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men. 
Joel 1:10-12 
Now therefore, says YHWH, 
Turn to Me with all your heart, 
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning. 
So rend your heart, and not your garments; 
Return to YHWH your Almighty One, 
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. 
Joel 2:12-14a 

The heart of YHWH grieves. He is heavy with regret and wearied from His tears, which has cried so very much these past years. He looks at those who are His children, those to whom He has given so much, those He has longed to hold tight to His breast, and smother with the most tender of kisses. 

But He finds He cannot hold them; He cannot turn to them and give these blessings of love, for His children have forsaken Him. They have turned everyone to their own ways and have deserted His ways of love and happiness, for their own wicked ways of selfishness and false prosperity, a prosperity which they consume upon their lusts. 

Wail, He cries out to the wind, Wail, and carry My tears and My sobs over the ocean, beyond the depths, across the vast and open spaces of continents, so My heart may be heard by those I have loved, who have not at all returned My love with love of their own. For they have gone astray, they have chosen the wrong paths, they have trodden down that which I gave them to tend as vinedressers, and as farmers of the fields, for they would not remain at this work which was from Me. But they chose rather to go astray within their hearts and minds and to produce works of their own hands which never entered My thoughts to perform. Nor would I ever have chosen to perform these works, or see them manifested from the hands of those I have loved and cared so deeply for. 

YHWH cries out in despair, for He no longer has the opportunity to see these things changed, for no longer is there any time by which His children may repent and turn once more to serving Him in loving obedience, as small children to their Father. They have considered themselves as adults, as those who are in charge of their own affairs, and so they listen not to YHWH, but seek the paths which they themselves have carved out of the land. 

This is not the path YHWH has chosen for them. They err. They sin. They continually blaspheme His name and proclaim as truth the lies of their own wicked and sinful hearts. 

No longer can His words be heard, Repent! For there is no longer time for repentance. The day is past, and the new day of the wrath of YHWH is now dawning upon the lands of men. 

Tremble in fear, O man, for your wickedness has spread too far, it has widened the gap between you and your Creator, and has opened a chasm which none may ever close between you and Him. 

The Day has come, and you have been found wanting. 

Your Father would have received you back, if only you would have repented of your wickedness. But you would not, and so the day has come, and now is. Repentance is no more. Forever, and all throughout eternity. 

It is finished.
