Joel
A locust plague becomes a call to return, and a promise of the Spirit poured out.
About Joel
Joel opens with a devastating locust invasion and reads it as a summons: return to God with fasting and weeping, rending hearts rather than garments. The prophecy then widens to the day of the Lord and to a promise that God’s Spirit will be poured out on all people, sons and daughters alike — the passage Peter quotes at Pentecost to explain what has just happened.
