Joel with Dr. Christopher Seitz
Dr. Christopher Seitz (Wycliffe College, University of Toronto) guides us through the Book of Joel. We discuss:
* How to read a book (like Joel) that does not situate itself historically and temporally
* The significance of the four locusts in Joel–the swarming locust, the hopping locust, the destroying locust, the cutting locust (Joel 1:4)
* How Joel’s phrase “the day of the LORD” can refer to two days
* The place of the nations in God’s future deliverance and judgment in the book of Joel
