Joel: A Storm Is Coming

Joel's prophecy was a warning to the people of Judah. The prophet reminded the nation that the Babylonian army, described as an army of locusts, was on the horizon. However, Yahweh encouraged (as Joel begged) the nation to repent, change their ways, and turn back to their God. This hope was not only offered to a nation, facing destruction, but all of us. We have a God who not only seeks relationship, but desires a relationship with honor, love, and respect.
