Joel
Joel declares the “Day of the Lord” through the lens of a devastating locust plague. It moves from national judgment to cosmic redemption, including a powerful prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Joel 2:28–32), fulfilled at Pentecost in Acts 2. The book underscores repentance, renewal, and divine intervention.
