Joel

Prophetic book promising that God’s spirit will be poured out on all flesh.

 

During a locust plague the prophet called people to repentance

Joel summons the people to repentance and prayer. In the face of a locust plague that threatens destruction, the prophet warns that the day of the Lord approaches, but offers hope of God’s future blessing. In that day God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh so that their sons and daughters will prophesy, and the young and old will have visions and dreams.
