Joel

  • Locusts destroy the land
  • A time of judgement is coming
  • Change your hears to God; He is a God of great love; He can change his mind about harm
  • God restores the land
  • Judgement - the Lord speaks
  • Those against Judah will be punished
  • Judah will have a new life
Judah seems to talk about the end of times, the second coming, the final judgement.  I wasn't expecting that in the Old Testament.  I can understand that it is there. 

There is even mention of God judging all the nations in the Valley of Decisions, but it refers to a new life for Judah.  Which is a little confusing.  In the New Testament, we stray away from the Israel and Judah are the chosen people, but this mentions a new Judah.
