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
