Joel Overview (Part 1)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview, Steve Gregg explores the Book of Joel, a prophetic message of judgment and hope. The book describes a devastating locust plague that was seen as God's judgment on Judah, leading to starvation and a need for importation of food. However, the latter half of the book provides a message of hope, describing the coming of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and warning of a future judgment to come if the people do not repent. Overall, the book of Joel provides a message of the importance of repentance and consecration, and how crying out to God can lead to deliverance and restoration.
