“Joel described this awesome day as the day of the Lord (Jehovah). The phrase day of the Lord is used some five times in Joel (1:15; 2:1; 2:11; 2:31; 3:14). Although it has reference to the local judgment God would bring on Judah through this plague, it speaks of a future day when God will intervene in judgment upon the world.” (Joel 1:15)

“The word ‘cometh’ literally means has come. Although the judgment is still future, in God’s eyes it has already taken place.” (Joel 2:1–2)

“Fifth, the vinedressers ‘wailed’ (v. 11) over their loss when the grapevine dried up and the fig tree languished.” (Joel 1:5)

“He was prophetically sounding out a message from God (v. 1) concerning an awesome plague which was about to totally devastate Judah.” (Joel 1:1–20)

“the sun was not darkened, nor the moon turned into blood during Joel’s day” (Joel 1:15)
