Joel

Treated in 35 passages across the library.

A short prophecy sparked by a devastating plague of locusts, which Joel calls a sign of the coming day of the Lord. He calls the people to rend their hearts and not their garments, and promises restoration. Then God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, a promise Peter declared fulfilled at Pentecost.
