I'd like us to really look at the question that Joel asks the people right at the beginning of this book, where he says to them in verse 2, “has anything like this ever happened in your days?” Just as a little bit of background to the prophet Joel. We don't know much about him as a person. His father was Pethuel. But other than that, we know very little about him and we don't really know when he actually authored the book. So you can have your own opinions on that and when it happened. Paul Brown unpacks Joel
