Summary of the Book of Joel

Author: The Book of Joel states that its author was the Prophet Joel (Joel 1:1).
요엘서 요약
저자: 요엘서는 저자가 요엘 선지자라고 명시하고 있습니다(요엘 1:1).

Date of Writing: The Book of Joel was likely written between 835 and 800 B.C.
기록 날짜: 요엘서는 기원전 835년에서 800년 사이에 기록되었을 가능성이 높습니다.

Purpose of Writing: Judah, the setting for the book, is devastated by a vast horde of locusts. This invasion of locusts destroys everything—the fields of grain, the vineyards, the gardens and the trees. Joel symbolically describes the locusts as a marching human army and views all of this as divine judgment coming against the nation for her sins. The book is highlighted by two major events. One is the invasion of locusts and the other the outpouring of the Spirit. The initial fulfillment of this is quoted by Peter in Acts 2 as having taken place at Pentecost.
집필 목적: 이 책의 배경이 되는 유다는 거대한 메뚜기 떼에 의해 황폐화됩니다. 메뚜기 떼의 침공으로 곡식밭, 포도원, 정원, 나무 등 모든 것이 파괴됩니다. 요엘은 메뚜기 떼를 행진하는 인간 군대로 상징적으로 묘사하며 이 모든 것을 이스라엘의 죄에 대한 신의 심판으로 간주합니다. 이 책은 두 가지 주요 사건으로 강조됩니다. 하나는 메뚜기 떼의 침입이고 다른 하나는 성령의 부으심입니다. 사도행전 2장에서 베드로는 오순절에 일어난 이 사건의 최초 성취를 인용하고 있습니다.

Key Verses:
Joel 1:4, "What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten."
핵심 구절:
요엘 1:4, "메뚜기 떼가 남긴 것은 큰 메뚜기가 먹었고, 큰 메뚜기가 남긴 것은 어린 메뚜기가 먹었고, 어린 메뚜기가 남긴 것은 다른 메뚜기가 먹었습니다."

Joel 2:25, "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten..."
요엘 2:25, "메뚜기가 먹은 세월을 내가 너희에게 갚으리니..."

Joel 2:28, "And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions."
요엘 2:28, "그 후에 내가 내 영을 만민에게 부어 주리라. 너희의 아들과 딸은 예언할 것이며 너희의 늙은이는 꿈을 꾸고 너희의 젊은이는 이상을 볼 것이다."

Brief Summary: A terrible plague of locusts is followed by a severe famine throughout the land. Joel uses these happenings as the catalyst to send words of warning to Judah. Unless the people repent quickly and completely, enemy armies will devour the land as did the natural elements. Joel appeals to all the people and the priests of the land to fast and humble themselves as they seek God’s forgiveness. If they will respond, there will be renewed material and spiritual blessings for the nation. But the Day of the Lord is coming. At this time the dreaded locusts will seem as gnats in comparison, as all nations receive His judgment.
요약: 끔찍한 메뚜기 재앙에 이어 온 나라에 심각한 기근이 닥칩니다. 요엘은 이러한 사건을 촉매제로 삼아 유다에 경고의 메시지를 보냅니다. 백성들이 신속하고 완전하게 회개하지 않으면 적군이 자연이 그랬던 것처럼 땅을 삼킬 것입니다. 요엘은 그 땅의 모든 백성과 제사장들에게 금식하고 겸손하게 하나님의 용서를 구할 것을 호소합니다. 그들이 응답한다면 이 나라에 물질적, 영적 축복이 새롭게 임할 것입니다. 그러나 주님의 날이 다가오고 있습니다. 이때는 모든 민족이 주님의 심판을 받게 되므로 무서운 메뚜기들이 모기처럼 보일 것입니다.

The overriding theme of the Book of Joel is the Day of the Lord, a day of God’s wrath and judgment. This is the Day in which God reveals His attributes of wrath, power, and holiness, and it is a terrifying day to His enemies. In the first chapter, the Day of the Lord is experienced historically by the plague of locusts upon the land. Chapter 2:1-17 is a transitional chapter in which Joel uses the metaphor of the locust plague and drought to renew a call to repentance. Chapters 2:18-3:21 describes the Day of the Lord in eschatological terms and answers the call to repentance with prophecies of physical restoration (2:21-27), spiritual restoration (2:28-32), and national restoration (3:1-21).

Foreshadowings: Whenever the Old Testament speaks of judgment for sin, whether individual or national sin, the advent of Jesus Christ is foreshadowed. The prophets of the Old Testament continually warned Israel to repent, but even when they did, their repentance was limited to law-keeping and works. Their temple sacrifices were but a shadow of the ultimate sacrifice, offered once for all time, which would come at the cross (Hebrews 10:10). Joel tells us that God’s ultimate judgment, which falls on the Day of the Lord, will be “great and terrible. Who can endure it?” (Joel 2:11). The answer is that we, on our own, can never endure such a moment. But if we have placed our faith in Christ for atonement of our sins, we have nothing to fear from the Day of Judgment.
예표: 구약성경에서 개인의 죄든 국가의 죄든 죄에 대한 심판을 말할 때마다 예수 그리스도의 도래가 예고됩니다. 구약의 선지자들은 이스라엘에게 지속적으로 회개하라고 경고했지만, 이스라엘이 회개했을 때에도 그들의 회개는 율법 준수와 행위로 제한되었습니다. 그들의 성전 제사는 십자가에서 단번에 드려질 궁극적인 제사의 그림자에 불과했습니다(히브리서 10:10). 요엘은 주님의 날에 임할 하나님의 궁극적인 심판이 "크고 두려운 심판"이 될 것이라고 말합니다. 누가 견딜 수 있겠습니까?" (욜 2:11). 답은 우리 스스로는 결코 그런 순간을 견딜 수 없다는 것입니다. 그러나 우리가 죄를 속죄하기 위해 그리스도를 믿었다면 심판의 날을 두려워할 필요가 없습니다.

Practical Application: Without repentance, judgment will be harsh, thorough, and certain. Our trust should not be in our possessions but in the Lord our God. God at times may use nature, sorrow, or other common occurrences to draw us closer to Him. But in His mercy and grace, He has provided the definitive plan for our salvation—Jesus Christ, crucified for our sins and exchanging our sin for His perfect righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). There is no time to lose. God’s judgment will come swiftly, as a thief in the night (1 Thessalonians 5:2), and we must be ready. Today is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2). “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7). Only by appropriating God’s salvation can we escape His wrath on the Day of the Lord.
실제 적용: 회개하지 않으면 심판은 가혹하고 철저하며 확실할 것입니다. 우리의 신뢰는 우리의 소유물이 아니라 주 우리 하나님을 신뢰해야 합니다. 하나님은 때때로 자연, 슬픔 또는 다른 일반적인 사건을 사용하여 우리를 그분께 더 가까이 이끄실 수 있습니다. 그러나 그분은 자비와 은혜로 우리의 구원을 위한 결정적인 계획, 즉 우리의 죄를 위해 십자가에 못 박히시고 우리의 죄를 그분의 완전한 의와 교환하신 예수 그리스도를 마련하셨습니다(고린도후서 5:21). 허비할 시간이 없습니다. 하나님의 심판은 밤중에 도적같이 신속히 임할 것이므로(데살로니가전서 5:2), 우리는 준비해야 합니다. 오늘은 구원의 날입니다(고린도후서 6:2). "여호와를 찾을 수 있을 때에 찾고 가까이 계실 때에 그를 부르자. 악인은 그의 길을 버리고 악인은 그의 생각을 버리게 하소서. 그가 여호와께로 돌아오면 그가 그를 불쌍히 여기시며 우리 하나님께로 돌아오면 그가 너그럽게 용서하시리라"(이사야 55:6-7). 하나님의 구원을 받아들여야만 주님의 날에 하나님의 진노를 피할 수 있습니다.

Joel Summary
by Jay Smith
성경 요약
조엘 요약
by 제이 스미스


The genre of Joel is Narrative and Prophetic Oracle. The prophet Joel wrote it around 841-835 B.C. sometime before the fall and exiles of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. Key personalities are Joel and the people of Judah. Its purpose was to call the Southern Kingdom to repentance or prepare for the coming judgment. Joel describes the locust that inflicts severe damage to everything in their paths, and warns that it is only the beginning of what is to come.
요엘서의 장르는 구전적 예언적 신탁입니다. 요엘 선지자는 북왕국과 남왕국이 멸망하고 유배되기 전인 주전 841~835년경에 이 예언서를 썼습니다. 주요 인물은 요엘과 유다 백성입니다. 그 목적은 남왕국에게 회개를 촉구하거나 다가올 심판을 준비하도록 촉구하는 것이었습니다. 요엘은 메뚜기가 지나가는 모든 것에 심각한 피해를 입히는 것을 묘사하며, 이는 앞으로 일어날 일의 시작에 불과하다고 경고합니다.

•    Chapter 1, Joel compares the destruction and judgment of God like a plague of locust. This is the warning and penalty for disobedience and evilness, “For a nation has invaded my land, mighty and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness” (1:6).
- 1장 요엘서는 하나님의 멸망과 심판을 메뚜기 떼의 재앙에 비유합니다. 이는 불순종과 악에 대한 경고이자 형벌입니다. "강하고 막대한 한 나라가 내 땅을 침략하였는데 그 이빨은 사자의 이빨이요 암사자의 송곳니를 가졌나이다"(1:6).

•    Chapter 2-3, God calls His people to repent and return, if not, they will all be judged. The promise and deliverance of the Lord is waiting and He will restore the land, Return to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, weeping and mourning; And rend your heart and not your garments.”Now return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness And relenting of evil” (2:12-13).
- 2-3장, 하나님은 당신의 백성에게 회개하고 돌아오라고 부르시며, 그렇지 않으면 모두 심판을 받으리라. 여호와의 약속과 구원이 기다리고 있으며 그 땅을 회복시키실 것이니 너희는 마음을 다하여 금식과 통곡과 애통함으로 내게로 돌아오고 마음을 찢고 옷을 찢지 말라 너희 하나님 여호와께로 돌아오라 그는 은혜롭고 자비로우시며 노하기를 더디하시고 인자하심이 풍부하시며 악을 멀리하시나니"(2:12-13)라고 말씀하십니다.
