Minor prophet Joel

Joel's name means The Lord is God.

It was written around the mid-ninth century BC.

It was written to guide back the Israelites to prayer and fasting. It is believed it was written in the pre-exilic era, and the prophet Elijah was alive.

In the first chapter, we will see what prevented the Israelis from bringing an offering to God.

This book of Joel has a futuristic essence as well. It talks about the eschatological day of the Lord and how God will pour out blessings on the repeated ones and judgment on the unrepented.
