Joel

The prophet Joel interprets a devastating locust plague as a harbinger of greater judgment, urging the nation to return to the Lord with fasting and mourning. He proclaims the coming Day of the Lord, when divine wrath will fall upon the unrepentant yet mercy will be extended to those who call upon his name. In a pivotal promise, he foretells the outpouring of God's Spirit on all people, highlighting the prophet's role in revealing both impending doom and the hope of spiritual renewal within the redemptive narrative.
