Book Written: Unclear though Baker says around 400 BC.Time Period/Setting: Unclear though the book refers to an invasion but doesn't mention by what nation
Title: The prophet's name which is a common one and means the same as the name Elijah--'My God is the Lord' - but in reverse order.
The book begins with a colorful description of an enormous invading plague of locusts which I initially took to be a description of an enormous, invading army. Joel introduces the theme of the day of the Lord or the coming of the Lord's Day.
