•The second of the twelve minor prophets, the son of Pethuel, probably prophesied in Judah in the
reign of Uzziah, about B.C. 800. The book of Joel contains a grand outline of the whole terrible
scene, which was to be depicted more and more in detail by subsequent prophets. The proximate
event to which the prophecy related was a public calamity, then impending on Judah, of a
two-plague of locusts—and continuing for several years. The prophet exhorts the people to turn
to God with penitence, fasting and prayer; and then, he says, the plague shall cease, and the rain
descendent in its season, and the land yield her accustomed fruit. Nay, the time will be a most
joyful one; for God, by the outpouring of his Spirit, will extend the blessings of true religion to
heathen lands. The prophecy is referred to in Acts 2.
