Joel 3:4 (NASB)
Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering Me a recompense? But if you do recompense Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your recompense on your head.
The prophet Joel was talking about Philistines, NOT Palestinians.
From the Commentairies. These were pagans. “Palestinians are Muslims and did not exist until after Mohammed.
Missed it by about 2500-3000 years…
Jol 3:4. Tyre, Sidon, Philistia as oppressors. These coastal regions of the eastern Mediterranean provided the ports through which sea trade passed. From the next few verses one might infer that these cities acted as middlemen for handling captives (in this case from Judah) who were to be sold as slaves. A certain percentage of those taken in battle may have been considered not worth the trouble or expense of deporting. A quick solution was to pass them on to slave traders, who would handle all the details.
