Joel lived about 500 BC. Jerusalem was living in sin, the temple and its officials were not doing their job. The book is concerning a locust plague, one like had never been seen before. Joel tells us that the economy has been destroyed by these locusts.-1. Sovereignty Joel tells us that God has sent the locusts and is responsible for the destruction of the food-2. Repentance Joel calls for all to repent, esp. the priests. He calls for sack cloth and fasting.-3. The Day of the LORD God will rain judgement on them, But God offers refuge.
