Show Notes

Today’s episode taps into the global dissatisfaction with injustices, aligning these feelings with the prophet Joel's message about divine judgment and restoration. Joel 3 describes God's final judgment and the promise of His eternal kingdom, offering hope for those yearning for justice.

 

Joel predicts a divine courtroom where all nations face accountability, emphasizing a future where every injustice is addressed. He also promises restoration for those who repent, depicting a world where Judah thrives and enemies like Egypt and Edom become desolate. This suggests profound spiritual healing for those returning to God.

 

We connect Joel’s prophecies to the New Testament, especially Revelation, highlighting God's enduring presence in the New Jerusalem. This contrasts sharply with our current reality of sin and pain, resonating with our intrinsic yearning for peace.

 

In summary, this reflection on Joel 3 encourages believers to find comfort in God's justice and to align their lives with His kingdom, fostering hope and proactive faith in a challenging world.
