Joe: Alright, so today we have with us a Bible expert to give us a summary of Joel 1! Welcome to the show, what can you tell us about Joel 1?

Bible Expert: Sure. In Joel 1, God speaks through the prophet Joel and issues a warning about an invasion of locusts coming to the land of Judah.

Joe: Woah! That sounds intense. Can you tell us more about what this invasion would do to Judah?

Bible Expert: Yes, the locusts would devour the land, leaving nothing but barren wasteland.

Joe: Wow, that's crazy. Do we know why God is sending these locusts to Judah?

Bible Expert: The Bible states that God is sending these locusts as a punishment for Judah's sins.

Joe: Alright, I'm starting to get an idea of what's going on here. What else does Joel 1 say?

Bible Expert: Joel 1 also calls on the people of Judah to repent and turn back to God. They are commanded to fast, lament, and cry out to God for mercy.

Joe: That's a lot to take in. So basically, Judah is going to be invaded by locusts as a punishment for their sins and they need to repent if they want to be saved. Is that right?

Bible Expert: That's correct. The conclusion of Joel 1 is that if Judah repents and turns back to God, then He will restore the land of Judah and the people will be saved from the locusts.
