We trace Joel’s urgent warning through locusts, loss, and the Day of the Lord, then turn to a hopeful promise of restoration and the Spirit poured out on all people. Along the way, we tie the minor prophets to Israel’s homecoming and ask what real repentance looks like now.
• why minor prophets fit the homecoming season
• reading Joel aloud with context and chronology
• locust invasion as a picture of national and spiritual ruin
• the Day of the Lord as both near event and future horizon
• call to return with whole hearts, not just rituals
• restoration of grain, wine, oil, and lost years
• the Spirit poured out on all kinds of people
• judgment of nations and refuge for those who call on God
• practical repentance starting with heart, home, and habits
