This episode provides an overview of the entire Book of Joel, focusing on themes of divine judgment, repentance, and restoration. The Bible explains that the prophet Joel uses a devastating locust plague as a metaphor for the impending "Day of the Lord," a concept referencing both immediate historical calamities and the final eschatological wrath of God. Chapters 1 and 2 issue an urgent call for sincere repentance and corporate fasting, emphasizing that God, who is sovereign over all armies and disasters, desires mercy and is quick to restore what sin has consumed. Chapter 3 shifts focus to God's final judgment on all nations gathered in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, promising a future time of eternal restoration and blessing for Israel and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon all believers.

This podcast was taken from a series of lessons on the book of Joel by Pastor Anthony of the First LMBC in Lancaster
