Joel
Joel was told by God that the nation had been consumed by pests and God's land had been lain to waste. Everyone was to lament this. He called for a trumpet to be sounded and for darkness and fire to devour the land. The Lord promised to utter His voice and destroy. Then He would pity His people and bring about a golden era. God promised to gather the people and have them prevail in war over the gentiles. They would put down their tools and make swords. Egypt would fall to Judah and Jerusalem would prevail.
