37 Joel’s Vision of the Future [Joel 2:28–32]
The Bible passage: [Joel 2:28–32]
The Story:
The prophet Joel is something of a mystery. He tells us who his father is. Unlike most of the other prophets, he doesn’t give us any clues about what king(s) reigned during his prophesies. We do know that most of what he prophesied was in reference to the Kingdom of Judah.
Following is what Joel said to Judah:
I will pour out My Spirit on all humanity. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will have dreams. Your young men will see visions.
I will even pour out My Spirit on male and female slaves at that time.
I will display amazing things in the heavens and on the earth: blood and fire and columns of smoke.
The sun will go dark and the moon will turn to blood before the Day of the Lord comes.
Then everyone who calls on the name of Yahweh will be saved. There will be an escape for those on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem among the survivors that the Lord calls, just as the Lord promised.
The Lessons:
- The particular prophesy is about Joel’s vision of the Holy Spirit coming in the future. It is quoted in the book of Acts. [Acts 2:16-17]
