1 Part 2 Joel: A Message of Revival in the (Joel 2:18-32)

2 12 Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.

3 Joel 2:18-32, 18 Then the Lord will be zealous for His land And will have pity on His people. 19 The Lord will answer and say to His people, Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied in full with them; And I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.

4 But I will remove the northern army far from you, And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land, And its vanguard into the eastern sea, And its rear guard into the western sea. And its stench will arise and its foul smell will come up, For it has done great things. 21 Do not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad, 20

5 For the Lord has done great things. 22 Do not fear, beasts of the field, For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has borne its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full. 23 So rejoice, O sons of Zion, And be glad in the Lord your God;

6 For He has given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and latter rain as before. 24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 25 Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten,

7 The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame. 27 Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,

8 And that I am the Lord your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame. It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 28

9 Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31 The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. 29

10 32 And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Will be delivered; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape, As the Lord has said, Even among the survivors whom the Lord calls.

11 The Prophet Joel Son of Pethuel. Joel - Yahweh is God. A man of God, who is in tune with the Spirit of God, who has discernment delivers a prophetic message to the people.

12 A Pre-exilic (before the exile) or Postexilic (after the exile) message? Joel prophesied in Judah in the exciting and pivotal days of Uzziah ( B.C.), the tenth king of the southern kingdom. Those were days of unparalleled prosperity for Israel and Judah. - Richard Patterson

13 A Message directed at Judah Unlike other prophets such as Amos, where both Israel and Judah find a place, Joel reserves his comments for Judah. - David Barker

14 A Prophetic Message of Devastation The Plague of locusts Joel 1:4, What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.

15 The plague of locusts was devastating.the people have no grapes to make wine! The farmers have no harvest to provide their livelihood. The priests have no grain or drink offerings for their temple worship. - Dr. Garry Milley

16 Under divine inspiration Joel told the people that the locust plague was a warning of a greater judgment that was imminent unless they repented and returned to full fellowship with God. - Richard D. Patterson The Plague of Locusts now The Day of the Lord later.

17 The Day is commonly held by Israel to be a day in which God blesses them, a day to be anticipated (e.g., Amos 5:18). This view is supported by numerous false prophets who present the same theological fallacy: If you are an Israelite, you only face hope and blessing (e.g. Jer. 14:13-15; 27:9-18; Ezek. 13:10-12; Mic. 3:5). It is thus easy for Joel s audience, and Israel from all periods in her history, to anticipate the wrong message when they hear about the coming day of the Lord. - David Barker

18 Joel 2:1-11, Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the Lord is coming; Surely it is near, 2 A day of darkness and gloom, A day of clouds and thick darkness.

19 As the dawn is spread over the mountains, So there is a great and mighty people; There has never been anything like it, Nor will there be again after it To the years of many generations. 3 A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns.

20 The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them. 4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like war horses, so they run. 5 With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains,

21 Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle. 6 Before them the people are in anguish; All faces turn pale. 7 They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each march in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.

22 8 They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path; When they burst through the defenses, They do not break ranks. 9 They rush on the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter through the windows like a thief.

23 10 Before them the earth quakes, The heavens tremble, The sun and the moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness. 11 The Lord utters His voice before His army; Surely His camp is very great, For strong is he who carries out His word. The day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it?

24 The Day of the Lord Joel 1:15 For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty. Joel 2:1, Blow a trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm on My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, For the day of the LORD is coming; Surely it is near.

25 The Day of the Lord Joel 2:11b, The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome, And who can endure it? Joel 2:31, The sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.

26 The Day of the Lord Joel 3:14, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

27 A Prophetic Message of Deliverance 2:32, 32 And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord Will be delivered; Joel

28 2:12-13, 12 Yet even now, declares the Lord, Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; 13 And rend your heart and not your garments. Now return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil. Joel

29 The Heart of the Matter When the prophet begins to speak about repentance, he lays emphasis upon the heart. Shallow religious rituals and mere outward forms of piety never impress God. God sees past the outward appearance and focuses on the condition of the heart. - Dr. Garry Milley

30 Like his contemporaries, Joel emphasized the need to turn to God in true repentance and in total reliance on the God of all mercies, turning from their past iniquities, recognizing that the repentant heart is the only soil in which the regenerated soul can grow. - Richard Patterson

31 A Promise of Restoration Joel 2:25-27, Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied And praise the name of the Lord your God,

32 Who has dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will never be put to shame. 27 Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the Lord your God, And there is no other; And My people will never be put to shame.

33 A Promise of the Spirit Joel 2:28-29, It will come about after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29 Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

34 In the midst of ruin, God can bring revival! In the face of devastation, God can bring deliverance! In the midst of a mess, God can speak a message!

35 If you return to God, and rend your heart, and repent of sin, God is willing to turn your life around! In place of pouring out His wrath, God is willing to pour out His Spirit upon you.

36 Joel 3:14, Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. In the valley of decision? God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9).
