The Bible explains that the prophet Joel uses a devastating locust plague&amp;nbsp;as a metaphor for the impending &quot;Day of the Lord,&quot; a concept referencing both immediate historical calamities and the final&amp;nbsp;eschatological wrath&amp;nbsp;of God. Chapters 1 and 2 issue an urgent&amp;nbsp;call for sincere repentance&amp;nbsp;and corporate fasting, emphasizing that God, who is sovereign over all armies and disasters, desires mercy and is quick to restore what sin has consumed. Chapter 3 shifts focus to&amp;nbsp;God\u2019s final judgment on all nations&amp;nbsp;gathered in the Valley of Jehoshaphat, promising a future time of&amp;nbsp;eternal restoration and blessing for Israel and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon all believers. This podcast was taken from a series of lessons on the book of Joel by Pastor Anthony of the First LMBC in Lancaster Find us on Facebook @flmmbc email: lancasterfmbcpastor@gmail.com ","author_name":"Food For The Flock","author_url":"http:\/\/foodfortheflock.libsyn.com\/website","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39134325\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/195720800"}
