The Book of Joel Translated from the Vulgate Introduction to Joel Table of Contents Joel, son of Phatuel, seems to have prophesied sometime around 400 BCE. We have little information to go on regarding his setting, other than internal evidence in the text. The following is a The Book of Joel sample of the evidence: • Joel mentions a temple that is standing and actively used. translated from The Vulgate • He refers to priests as the people’s leaders, rather than kings. • He mentions Greeks (3:6). • He uses the names Israel and Judah interchangeably.

  • The Book of Joel
    Charles Savelle Center Point Bible Institute 1 THE BOOK OF JOEL Message: The message to Joel is fairly straightforward. Basically, it is that, “The Day of the Lord is coming to bring judgment for God’s enemies and restoration for God’s people.” Joel sets his message up by pointing to a literal locust plague which he poetically morphs into a eschatological Day of the Lord. Or as Finley puts it, “The prophecy of Joel can be compared to two wheels turning on an axle. The wheels are history and eschatology, while the axle is the day of the Lord.”1 Author: According to 1:1, the human author of the prophecy was Joel son of Pethuel. Joel means “Yahweh is God.” The name was fairly popular and there are eleven to fourteen men who bear this designation in the Old Testament depending on how you count them. The references to “Zion” and “the house of the Lord” (1:9, 13–14; 2:15–17, 23, 32; 3:1, 5–6, 16–17, 20–21) might indicate that the prophet was a resident of Jerusalem. References to the priesthood (1:13–14; 2:17) might indicate that Joel was a priest. Nothing is known about his father Pethual. Recipients: The identification of the original recipients is tied closely to the issue of dating. While most would hold that the oracle was written to Judah, dating affects whether we are referring to pre-exilic or exilic Judah. Since an early date seems more likely, the original recipients are likely pre-exilic Israel.

  • The Book of Joel: Anticipating a Post-Prophetic Age
    HAYYIM ANGEL The Book of Joel: Anticipating a Post-Prophetic Age Introduction OF THE FIFTEEN “Latter Prophets”, Joel’s chronological setting is the most difficult to identify. Yet, the dating of the book potentially has significant implications for determining the overall purposes of Joel’s prophecies. The book’s outline is simple enough. Chapters one and two are a description of and response to a devastating locust plague that occurred in Joel’s time. Chapters three and four are a prophecy of consolation predict- ing widespread prophecy, a major battle, and then ultimate peace and pros- perity.1 In this essay, we will consider the dating of the book of Joel, the book’s overall themes, and how Joel’s unique message fits into his likely chronological setting.2 Dating Midrashim and later commentators often attempt to identify obscure figures by associating them with known figures or events. One Midrash quoted by Rashi identifies the prophet Joel with the son of Samuel (c. 1000 B.C.E.): When Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons judges over Israel. The name of his first-born son was Joel, and his second son’s name was Abijah; they sat as judges in Beer-sheba. But his sons did not follow in his ways; they were bent on gain, they accepted bribes, and they subvert- ed justice. (I Sam. 8:1-3)3 RABBI HAYYIM ANGEL is the Rabbi of Congregation Shearith Israel. He is the author of several books including Creating Space Between Peshat & Derash: A Collection of Studies on Tanakh. 21 22 Milin Havivin Since Samuel’s son was wicked, the Midrash explains that he must have repented in order to attain prophecy.

  • Hosea an Inspiring Quote the Book of Hosea Who Wrote This Book?
    Hosea The prophet Hosea in the 8th century BCE protested violently against Israelite religious practices. An inspiring quote “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings” (Hosea 6:6). The Book of Hosea Hosea came from the north and preached at the same time as Amos. He discovered the tenderness of God through personal experience. He loved his wife, although she behaved badly towards him; through his love he succeeded in restoring to her the feelings she had had when she was young. This is how God loves us: not because we are good, but so that we can become good (Hosea 1-3). The book begins with God’s command to Hosea to marry an unfaithful wife who he loved passionately and the first few chapters describe what happened when he did so. Chapter 4 onwards contains a range of messages from God via Hosea, first to the people of Israel (chapters 4-11) and then to the people of Israel and Judah (chapters 11-14), about the anger God felt because of their betrayal of him through injustice, corruption and their worship of other gods. Woven between these messages of doom are some messages of hope, pointing to what God’s people can look forward to beyond the times of trouble. Who wrote this book? The author is announced as Hosea in verses 1:1-2. He was a prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Hosea, in Hebrew, means salvation but Hosea is popularly termed “the prophet of doom”.

  • An Investigation Into the Use of Israel's “Historical Traditions” in Joel 1:2-201
    Stellenbosch eological Journal 2015, Vol 1, No 2, 569–588 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2015.v1n2.a27 Online ISSN 2413-9467 | Print ISSN 2413-9459 2015 © Pieter de Waal Neethling Trust An investigation into the use of Israel’s “historical traditions” in Joel 1:2-201 Redelinghuys, CJ University of the Free State [email protected] Abstract Th e text of Joel 1:2-20 presents the reader with a unique, albeit challenging, perspective on an unprecedented disaster – a locust plague (and a subsequent drought) as the harbinger of the Yom YHWH (Day of the LORD). In his own unique way the author of Joel portrays this calamity by appealing to the ancient community’s knowledge of their professed historical (and theological) traditions. In particular, he distinctly emphasizes four of these traditions namely Creation, Exodus, Sinai, and Promised Land. Approaching the text in this manner, from the perspective of Israel’s historical traditions (and thus drawing on the work done by Gerhard von Rad), it is explained that the emphasis falls on a twofold textual focus (explicitly and implicitly): primarily on divine judgement, but conversely also on YHWH’s saving blessings. Keywords Th e Book of Joel; Joel 1:2-20; locust plague – drought; Day of the LORD (Yom YHWH); Israel’s historical traditions; Heilsgeschichte; creation; Exodus; Sinai; Th e Promised Land; divine judgement – salvation 1. Introduction2 Living in the 21st century developed world, most people cannot begin to fathom the ferocity and devastation that a swarm of locusts can have on a fi eld of crops and subsequently on a particular society.

  • The Twelve Prophets Amos Through Malachi: Major Teachings of the Twelve Prophets
    The Twelve Prophets Amos through Malachi: Major Teachings of the Twelve Prophets Blair G. Van Dyke and D. Kelly Ogden Blair G. Van Dyke teaches in the Church Educational System and is an instructor of ancient scripture at BYU. D. Kelly Ogden is a professor of ancient scripture at BYU. The writings of Amos through Malachi are frequently skirted as blocks of scripture to be quickly dealt with toward semester’s end after the “important” writers of the Old Testament have received more careful and thoughtful treatment. Such a course is lamentable because these prophets consistently prophesied in days of great wickedness among God’s people—when they indulged in priestcraft, sorcery, and idolatry and when they mistook outward symbols of covenants for heartfelt, sincere worship. In this regard, the parallels between their days and ours are striking. Following a brief introduction to the writ- ings of these twelve prophets, this article will explore some of the major teachings within their historical and spiritual context. We anticipate that this will lead to a greater desire and a greater capacity to integrate into religious education the principles of the gospel contained in the writings of the twelve prophets. The Book of the Twelve Anciently, the writings of these twelve prophets1 comprised one book known as the Book of the Twelve and were included in the Old Testament canon as such. The earliest acknowledgment of the signifi- cance of their writings comes from the Wisdom of Jesus, Son of Sirach, a book written early in the second century BC and now included in what we call the Apocrypha.
