The prophet Joel strongly exhorted the people of Judah to closely consider the severity and effects of the plague that had just gone by. This plague of locusts was also to be a warning of the future judgement to come. It’s severe effect in their individual lives and in the priestly service rendered in the temple of God are brought to light, directing our attention to the taking away of the meal offering and drink offering. The joy of the people had withered away.
In this sermon, Br. Rexlin focuses on these portions and exhorts how the scriptural principles found in this book may be applied as a timely warning for the assemblies today.
