Not very much about Joel is currently known, except that his passage came form the time of the fifth or forth century B.C. (during the time of the persian time) and that it was in the old testament in the christian bible.

The book of Joel describes a invasion of locusts and the drought in palestine. His book really covers the area of how god will restoration and blessing of his people.

This is the outline of his book : 


 * Chapter 1

 * 6,7 Announcement of the coming judgment from the heathen nations, of which that of the locusts is a type
 * 8-12 A lamentation of sorrow
 * 13-20 A call to repentance
 * Chapter 2:
 * 1-3 A recurrence to the same judgments
 * 4-11 A description of their executioners in which there is a blending of the idea of the locusts with that of the warriors. The picture is made vivid by the use of the present tense in the Revised Version
