Joel
3 chapters · 73 verses · Joel · ~835 BC
A locust plague destroys everything — and Joel sees in it a preview of something far worse: the Day of the Lord. But even then, "whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Overview
Joel turns a natural disaster into a spiritual wake-up call. Locusts devoured the land; Joel says a greater judgment is coming. But the solution isn't sacrifice — it's sincerity: "Rend your heart and not your garments." Peter quotes Joel at Pentecost to explain the Holy Spirit's arrival.
