New Testament (Acts 2:20; 1 Cor. 5:5; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Thess. 2:2; 2 Pet. 3:7-14).4 In Scripture, the “day of the Lord” is used both in a local and future sense. The phrase was first presented by the prophet Joel (assuming he prophesied during the reign of Uzziah), who stated, “Alas for the day!
The prophecy of Joel may seem unimportant as it contains only three brief chapters. However, this little book is like an atom bomb—it is not very big, but it sure is potent and powerful. We know very little about the prophet Joel. All we are told concerning him is in Joel 1:1, “The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.”
The primary theme in the book of Joel is The Day of the Lord. The name Joel means, “Yahweh is God.” There is no personal history available on the prophet Joel, but we do know he speaks to Judah from Jerusalem.

(Amos 4:5) Does God cringe as we sing our hymns? (Amos 5:23) 6 ...
Another aspect that sets this book apart is that Joel is clearly familiar with many other scriptural books, as he alludes to or quotes from the prophets Isaiah, Amos, Zephaniah, Nahum, Obadiah, Ezekiel, and Malachi, as well as the book of Exodus.
