Joel 1-3. King James Version. 1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.

The LORD Will Pour Out His Spirit - “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

Joel, whose name in Hebrew means “Yawheh is God,” was called by God to minister to the southern kingdom of Judah, we believe, around 835 B.C. when the then seven-year-old Joash sat on the throne. At the time, however, Jehoida the priest would have functioned as the real ruler of Judah until Joash came of age. Some scholars, however, believe that Jo...
Unfortunately, outside of his own writing, there’s not much written about Joel either in the Bible or historical account. Joel identifies himself as the son of Pethuel, a name mentioned nowhere else in the Old Testament (Joel 1:1). Some believe Joel may have been a priest of the tribe of Levi, given his passion for temple sacrifices (Joel 1:9; 2:13...
By the time Joel was called to minister to Judah, the Southern Kingdom had been in a state of disarray and decline for years, both economically and spiritually.

A similar complaint is made in Joel 3:4, 6. What the LXX. mean by their rendering here and ver. 9, αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ Σαλωμὼν, it is very hard to say. Probably they punctuated the word translated "perfect" (shelemah) shelomoh, making "Solomon" stand for his people Israel. Cyril supposes that the reference is to cities ...
