Did you know?

When the Spirit fell at Pentecost, Peter's explanation was simply 'this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel' — and he quoted this book at length.

Joel begins with an actual locust plague — swarm after swarm stripping the land — and reads it as a rehearsal for the day of the LORD.

'Rend your heart, and not your garments' comes from Joel 2 — torn clothes were the ancient sign of grief; God asked for the tearing to happen deeper.

Joel promises that God will 'restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten' — one of Scripture's tenderest lines about wasted time.
