The Christ of Joel

Christ promised to send the Holy Spirit after His ascension to the Father (John 16:7-8; Acts 1:8).  

When this was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, Peter said, “This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel” (Acts 2:16-12; quoting Joel 2:28-32).

Joel also portrays Christ as the One who will judge the nations in the Valley of Jehoshaphat in 3:2, 12.
