Joel Is Told By G-d To Preach Repentance

Not only to the current generation. But, also to the coming generation.

Nothing happens by accident; especially on a large scale.

Question:

Will Jesus’ incarnation, crucifixion, death, resurrection, ascension and coming back soon be found in this book?

We never saw any since Genesis.

Nonetheless, let us keep reading or listening… to not believe, but know the truth.

“The Locust Plague”

“Fasting And Wailing”

The word of Hashem, which came to Joel son of Pethuel: … Tell your children about it, and your children to their children, and their children to another generation.
1:1-3
What remained from the cutting-locust the abundant-locust has devoured; what remained from the abundant-locust the chewing-locust has devoured; and what remained from the chewing-locust the demolishing-locust has devoured.
:4
Awaken, you drunkards, and weep, and wail all you wine-drinkers, over the fine wine that has been eliminated from your mouths.
:5
For a nation has come up against My land, mighty and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the molars of a lion cub.
:6
Gird yourselves [with sackcloth] and lament, O Kohanim; wail, O ministers of the Altar; come spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, for meal-offering and libation have been withheld from the Temple of your God.
:13
Decree a fast; declare an assembly; gather the elders [and] all the inhabitants of the land to the Temple of Hashem your God, and cry out to Hashem.
:14
Woe for that day! For the day of Hashem is near, and like [sudden] plunder it will come from the Almighty.
:15
To You, Hashem, I call out, for fire has consumed the dwellings of the wilderness, and flame has scorched the trees of the field.
:19

1 The word of the Lord, which came to Joel son of Pethuel.
2 Hear this, you elders, and hearken, all you inhabitants of the land. Did this come about in your days or in the days of your forefathers?
3 Tell your children about it, and your children to their children, and their children to another generation.
4 What the shearing locust left over, the increasing locust devoured, and what the increasing locust left over the nibbling locust devoured, and what the nibbling locust left over the finishing locust devoured.
5 Awaken, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you wine drinkers, concerning the strong wine, which has been cut off from your mouth.
6 For a nation has ascended upon my land, mighty and innumerable; its teeth are like the teeth of an old lion, and its molars are like those of a young lion.
7 He has laid my vine waste, and my fig tree into a disappointment; he has peeled it and cast it off, its branches have become white.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 Meal offering and libation have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the ministers of the Lord, mourn.
10 The field has been plundered, the soil destroyed, for corn has been plundered, must has dried up, oil has been cut off.
11 Be ashamed, you plowmen; wail, you vinedressers, for wheat and for barley, for the harvest of the field is lost.
12 The vines have dried up, and the fig trees have been cut off; the pomegranates, also the date palms and the apples, all the trees of the field have dried up, for joy has dried up from the sons of man.
13 Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar; come, lodge in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, for the meal offering and the libations have been withheld from the house of your God.
14 Proclaim a fast, call an assembly; assemble, you elders, all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.
15 Woe is to the day, for the day of the Lord is near, and like plunder, it will come from the Almighty.
16 Is not the food cut off from before our eyes? From the house of our God joy and jubilation?
17 Casks of wine have gathered mold under their bungs, the storehouses are laid desolate, garners are demolished, for the corn has dried out.
18 How the cattle sighs, herds of cattle are perplexed, for they have no pasture; also flocks of sheep are laid waste.
19 To You, O Lord, I call, for a fire has consumed the dwellings of the wilderness, and a flame has burnt all the trees of the field.
20 Also, the beasts of the field cry out to You for the springs of water have dried up, and fire has consumed the dwellings of the wilderness.
