Book of Joel |
||
| Written in Palestine about 795-755 B.C. The book shows the immediate and latter-day destruction of Israel by Babylon, and the future Antichrist; the battle of Armageddon; and the restoration of Israel in the day of the Lord. Joel, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah all speak of the future outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28-32; Isaiah 32:15; Isaiah 44:3; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Ezekiel 37:14; Ezekiel 39:29; Zech. 12:10-13:1). The book was intended to make clear the sufferings of Israel because of her backslidings; to assure her of God's blessings when she comes to repentance and obedience to His will; and to state again the blessings of future and eternal restoration under the Messiah. | ||
