| <p> <strong> DECISION, [[Valley]] OF </strong> . The phrase is found only in Joel 3:14 ‘Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of [[Jehovah]] is near in the valley of decision.’ This valley is evidently the valley of [[Jehoshaphat]] mentioned in the preceding context ( Joel 3:2; Joel 3:12 ). The decision is that of Jehovah Himself, His final judgment upon the heathen assembled. The scene of this judgment has been fixed by Jews, Roman Catholics, and Mohammedans in the Valley of the Kidron. The valley of Jehoshaphat has been identified with the Valley of the [[Kidron]] since the time of Eusebius. Orelli, Michaelis, Robinson, and others think the valley of this prophecy is purely a symbolic one, the valley of ‘Jehovah’s judgment,’ as the Heb. name <em> Jehoshaphat </em> (‘Jehovah hath judged’) suggests. </p> <p> D. A. Hayes. </p> | | Valley Of Decision <ref name="term_9313" /> |

| <p> (עֵמֶק הֶחָרוּוֹ, ''E'Mek, He-Charuts''' , vale of the sentence; Sept. ἡ κοιλὰς τῆς δίκης, Vulg. ''Vallis Concisionis'' ), a name poetically given to the Valley of JEHOSHAPHAT (See Jehoshaphat) (q.v.), as being the ideal scene of the signal inflictions by Jehovah upon Zion's enemies at their restoration ( Joel 3:14). In perversion of some such prediction, the Mohammedans still believe that the final judgment will take place on this spot, and have accordingly left a stone in the city wall overhanging the valley, projecting as a seat for their prophet in the capacity of judge. </p> | |
