Joel

Chapter

Joel was written during the locust plague, a time of great distress for the people. The prophet sees in the devastation of the locusts an indication of the coming of the day of the Lord. Therefore all must repent with fasting and mourning. With repentance, however, there is a promise of relief and God’s blessing for Israel.

Joel 1

1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
