Joel 2:4

They appear to be like horses,
and they run like riders.
[Here, the prophet sees something that he cannot explain in words from the then known world, so instead he describes what he sees and compares it to the concepts of the time. Perhaps he sees modern tanks, but we do not know exactly what he is trying to describe. However, it is quite clear that the great and mighty people are some kind of army.]
