The second book of the Minor Prophets is Joel. It begins with a devastating plague of locust on Judah. The prophet, Joel, is calling the priests, elders, and all the people to a solemn assembly to seek the Lord, because the Day of the Lord is coming. If they repent and turn to the Lord, maybe He will relent from sending that day of judgment. The Apostle Peter preached from Joel chapter 2 in his sermon found in Acts chapter two. "It will come about afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and daughters will prophesy...and it shall come to pass that whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be delivered." We also see that the nations will be judged for their treatment of Judah, and on that day of the Lord, those who believe in the Lord will be blessed, and those who do not will be judged. We are still in that "valley of decision." Today whom will you choose?
