Joel 2: From Eden to Ruination? To what is this referring?
Upvote:-1
This is referring to the day of the LORD. A warning and a call to repentance. Continuing in the chapter;
Joel 2;11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel 2;32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverence, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

How do you know how fabulous the Garden of Eden was? There's no description of it where it appears, and we have many places on earth that are just "heavenly" to stroll through.
I believe the phrase is being used the same way we use it today to describe beautiful scenery.
If the location of this destruction is in Israel (scholars are not unified in a position on its location), you can see its lush greenery in these photos: https://www.google.com/search?q=greenery+in+israel&safe=active&client=firefox-a&hs=X3q&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=sb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=7ojnU7atOZTioATttYKoBg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoATgK&biw=1280&bih=566
So all that is beautiful in the land will be destroyed by a foreign invading army, which is left unspecified.
