Synopsis

Mark started a new series on The Minor Prophets beginning with the prophet Joel. Good indications suggest Joel is the earliest of the minor prophets.

1. Historical context: Joel was likely written in 8th B.C. after Israel was divided.
2. Biblical context: The Jews were entrusted the Word of God. The prophets are God’s speakers.
3. We learn that Joel means Jehovah is God. God has a message for us.

Listen to Mark discuss the history of the world during Joel’s time, Israel’s importance to the Egyptian and Assyrian empires, and the word of God as spoken by the prophet Joel to the people of Israel.
