Valley of Decision

The Valley of Decision is a biblical name given to the Valley of Jehoshaphat by the prophet Joel. It is the location of Jehovah's inflictions on Zion's enemies.[1] The Bible mentions the Valley of Jehoshaphat only twice and identifies it as the final place where God will destroy the nations. Jehoshaphat means "Yahweh judges". The book of Joel describes this event as a gathering of all of the armies of the world into this Valley, where the Lord will pronounce judgment on all of them.

For other uses, see Valley of Decision (disambiguation).

In Christian thinking, the assembly of the multitudes waiting in the valley of decision is associated with the second advent of Christ.[2][3]
