Joel 2

Joel sounds the alarm for the Day of the LORD with terrifying invasion imagery, then calls the people to turn to the LORD with all their heart. The chapter pivots from judgment to compassion: God promises restoration, removes reproach, and foretells the outpouring of His Spirit with signs preceding the great and terrible Day of the LORD.
