Having read the book of Joel a second time, I have discovered some new things within the text. To begin with, God originally called Israel to fast and then warned them of warriors coming to decimate the land. God then declares another fast after they warriors have ransacked the cities. Another thing I caught on the second time of reading Joel was that God speaks on the locust hordes twice. The first mentioning is on the devastation of the locust horde and the second time is on the removal of the locust horde, which He called His "great army." The third thing I caught the second time around reading Joel was that God declares that "the sun will grow dark; the moon turned into blood; and the stars grow dim" three times. I find this significant since throughout the Bible when something is mentioned three times it shows that God is a triune God; God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Spirit. Nevertheless I noted that the beginning of Joel spoke on destruction and mourning, whereas the end of Joel shows God's redemption. If the reader looks close enough the entire story is turns out to be a reversal in of itself. For example the beginning is on how the land was decimated and burned and then followed up by an invasion of warriors that ransack the land. Then in the end of Joel everything is reversed and the land is restored in full and God judges the invading nations and then He restores Israel to its former glory. Ultimately I conclude that the book of Joel shows, in short, How God redeems His children after desolate circumstances.
