Joel 1 & 2
Philosophers have gotten to us. Especially the ones who told us that God has wound up the clock of time for human history, left and is off waiting and watching. When the allotted time runs out, then He will return and take appropriate action. Because of that false idea, we think there will always be enough time to make needed changes. Joel’s message is that people of faith see that God is always at work in this world, acting in a way that leads us penitently to Him.
