Excerpt from The Prophet Joel: An Exposition
We know but little of the personality of the Prophet Joel. This is the case with many of the prophets and is in itself no argument against the authenticity of the Book. The personality of these holy men of God, the mouthpieces of the Lord, were hidden on purpose. In profane litera ture the person of the writer always plays an im portant part; but in the Word of God they are but instruments by whom God transmitted His thoughts and messages. What does it matter if we do not know the details of their lives, who they were and how long they lived, as long as we know they were the chosen vessels through whom God spake (heb. Izl).

Excerpt from The Prophet Joel: An Exposition
Of all the prophetic writings the Book of Joel has, perhaps, suffered most at the hands of modern writers. The destructive critics assert that Joel wrote after the Babylonian captivity of Judah, and even after the reconstructive work of Ezra and Nehemiah. In Joel as in Daniel they confront the alternative, either of allowing the predictive and therefore supernatural character of the hook as a Divine revelation of the future, or of finding a naturalistic interpretation which eliminates inspiration. If Joel wrote in the time of Joash, then, incontestably, he was inspired. But that, to quote Welhausen, "Would be to surrender our dearly bought scientific method." To preserve the "method" the unanimous voice of antiquity, of Jewish scholarship, and of the most cogent internal evidence, are ruthlessly set aside!
But Joel has not only suffered in the house of his enemies, but also in the house of his well-intentioned friends.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep dive into the prophetic book of Joel, one of the earliest books of the Hebrew Bible. The author delves into the historical context of the book, exploring the events and societal circumstances that may have inspired Joelââ â¢s message. The main focus of the book is the prophecy of the ââ Å"day of the Lord,ââ  a period of judgment and transformation that will bring both devastation and renewal. Through a detailed analysis of the imagery used by Joel, particularly the locusts, the author explores the broader themes of destruction, invasion, and restoration, aligning them with the historical and prophetic understanding of Israelââ â¢s relationship with the surrounding nations. Examining the symbolism of the locusts, the author highlights the recurring theme of powerful nations acting as instruments of Godââ â¢s judgment, laying waste to the land of Israel. The book reveals the complex interplay between Godââ â¢s judgment and His mercy, offering profound insights into the enduring significance of the ââ Å"day of the Lordââ  prophecy for understanding both past and future events.
