Lesson 75: The Day of the Lord and the Locusts

Joel’s message of “The Day of the Lord” mixes prophecies about current-day events, coming historical events, and ultimate end-time events. The Day of the Lord, as Joel uses the expression, can refer to a variety of events in which God works: chastisement, judgment, deliverance, blessing, and more. Joel exhorts us that each day – past, present, and future – should be considered the day of the Lord and challenges us to see the hand of God in everything that happens to us.
