Joel: The Day Of The Lord Comes! Series

Contributed by Thomas Cash on Jan 29, 2013

Why did any of the prophets even bother warning people? They did so for the same reason God gives us the gift of time: so that everyone has the opportunity to repent and come back to God.

Major News from Minor Prophets Joel: The day of the Lord comes! Very little is known about Joel. His name means “Jehovah is God” (Jo-el). His life does not parallel any of the twelve other people named Joel in the Old Testament. Besides being identified as the son of Penthuel at the ...read more

The Lord is using all the circumstances to bring forth his salvation history. Through the hand of God Boaz, a “worthy man” is brought into Ruth’s life.
