“Tell your children about it, let your children tell their children, and their children another
generation” ( J O E L 1 : 3 ). With these words, the prophet Joel opens his writing to the entire world. His prophecies will be quoted by Peter on the day of Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2. We don’t know with certainty when Joel was alive and ministering, but there are some clues inside his writing that lead people to the date of 538 BC and on. That would place him after the prophets Hosea and Zachariah. Regardless, the ministry of Joel is unique. His name in Hebrew means, “the LORD [Yahweh] is God”. He emphasizes God’s future work and that God will fulfill all that He has said. As we read through this Old Testament book, let’s ask good questions and listen closely to what Joel has to say.

Servant of the LORD; Obadiah 1-14
There is some scholarly debate over the book of Obadiah. In Hebrew, the name Obadiah means, “Servant of the LORD”. Some scholars believe that the man who wrote this book, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wanted to stay anonymous, so he wrote as “Obadiah” rather than with his given name. ...
