What does Joel teach about God's judgment?

Answered in 1 source

Joel teaches that God's judgment serves as a warning and a call to repentance amid impending destruction.

Joel presents God's judgment not just as an act of wrath, but as a divine warning meant to call His people back to repentance. In Joel 1:15, he describes the Day of the Lord as imminent, which serves as a direct reminder of the consequences of sin. The locust plague described in Joel serves as a physical representation of this judgment, a call for self-examination and a plea for God's mercy where God promises restoration if His people humble themselves and return to Him.
