Fairy Tale Spotlight: Joel [Book Review]

"Joel" is the twenty-ninth book of the "Holy Bible," and it was written by Joel himself. It's extremely short. I mean... I pretty much read it all in one go. Took me about twelve minutes. There is not a lot to talk about, so this is going to be kind of a short blog.

As with most of the books of this section of the Bible, this is another prophetic book. In the case of "Joel," God is calling his people to obedience after the invasions of Tyre, Sidon, and Philistia. There is also some sort of problem with pestilence and a food shortage that the people are going through. It's all intended to punish the Israelites for their trespasses against God.

After the book makes its accusations, it promises that God is in control and that he will bring about what sounds like some sort of revival, where even the people who are not prophets will be filled with God's spirit so that they will also prophesy. It seems to be speaking of a very good end as long as they can get their act together. And at the end of the day, the day belongs to the Lord, which is something the book says a few times.

That's really it. It's only three chapters long. I don't like to get into lessons when it comes to the Bible. It's mostly a history book to me. If you need a lesson, then read it for yourself. I am rather fascinated in the prophets. It is rather cool that God picked a number of men that was actually allowed to hear His voice. It's too bad that so many people disregarded them.

It's hard not to recommend a book that's this short. Even if you don't like it, it's not really wasting that much time. Give "Joel" a read.
