Prophet of Judah • Divided Kingdom / Early Prophetic Period
Joel was a prophet who warned Judah through the imagery of a devastating locust plague, calling the people to repentance and fasting. His message emphasized the coming 'Day of the Lord', both as a warning of judgment and a promise of restoration. Joel also prophesied the future outpouring of God's Spirit upon all people.
