Joel 1-2:14

The book of Joel is the written prophetic word of God given to the prophet Joel directed towards the southern kingdom of Judah and its capital, Jerusalem. The message begins, as we will see this morning, with a coming plague of locusts. Little is known about the author other than the short description in 1:1—”Joel, the son of Pethuel.” The name Joel derives from two Hebrew words—the first is the abbreviated form of the covenantal name of God, Yahweh, with the common Hebrew word for God, ‘el and thus—Joel means, “Yahweh is God.”
