Joel Overview (Part 2)
Bible Book OverviewsSteve Gregg
In this overview of the book of Joel, Steve Gregg explains that the book is divided into two parts: the first dealing with the crisis of locusts in Joel's time, while the second part is about the age of the Messiah and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Gregg notes that while there is controversy surrounding the interpretation of certain passages, the overall message of the book is one of redemption and deliverance through God's grace. He also suggests that the latter half of Joel's prophecies pertain to the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost and the birth of the church, which continues until the return of Jesus.
