Joel

Time – 618 – 608 B.C.
The book of Joel begins by describing a devastating swarm of locusts which cause
national disaster to the agriculture of Israel. Joel calls the nation of Judah to a day of repentance due to the Divine judgement. The last portion of the book is concerned with events associated with the “Day of the Lord”. The message is that if Judah repents, God will richly bless them and forgive them.
