Guiding Questions: Joel 3

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Would Joel 3:1 seem to be a direct continuation of the end of Joel 2?
  2. Who is the “all flesh”? Is it all of humanity?
  3. And, if so, whose sons, daughters, and aged are described in Joel 3:1?
  4. What might be meant by the dreams dreamt by the elderly and the visions seen by the young?
  5. What implication is there in the observation that slaves will also benefit from “God’s spirit”?
  6. Where in another text does Joel 3:3 appear — and in a most unusual context?
  7. Does Joel 3:4 indicate that natural phenomena of a most unusual nature will precede “yom Adonai”?
  8. Basically, according to Joel 3:5, then, does Joel 3 predict destruction with some survivors or a “good day” for all?
  9. And, if a “good day” for survivors, what will determine who will survive?
