Joel

Bible Reference: Joel 1-3

Joel was a prophet of God in the Southern Kingdom of Israel.
His frequent messages to those who were priests seem to point to the fact that he himself was a priest.
His prophecy was accompanied by a severe drought and an invasion of locusts.
His purpose was to call the nation to repent in light of the coming judgment of God known as the “Day of the Lord” (he was the first of the minor prophets to use this phrase).
His prophecy was not only meant for his generation but was also given as a reference to the restoration of Israel and Armageddon when Jesus Christ would return to earth.
