After a devastating locust plague, Joel delivers a promise — God will pour out his Spirit on everyone.
A catastrophic locust swarm has stripped the land bare, and Joel uses it as a picture of coming divine judgment. But in the middle of the warning, he delivers an extraordinary promise: afterward, God will pour out his Spirit on all people — sons, daughters, old and young alike. They'll prophesy and dream dreams. Peter quotes this passage directly at Pentecost centuries later.

JoelThe Day Everything Went DarkJoel describes an unstoppable army that blacks out the sky, then God does something no one expected — he invites his people back.
