DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Was Joel 2:28-32 literally fulfilled at Pentecost as quoted by the Apostle Peter
in Acts 2:17-21? Why or why not?
The prophecy in Joel was not literally fulfilled at Pentecost since not all of it occurred at that
time. For example, the sun was not darkened and the moon did not turn ‘blood-red’, nor were
there ‘wonders in the heavens & the earth’ such as blood, fire and pillars of smoke. Peter was
using this as an example or ‘type’ of what would happen in the last days when the LORD
would put a spirit of grace and supplication into the hearts and minds of believers. It is a
fulfillment in ‘type’ of the promise of a New Covenant that would replace the old (see
e.g., Jeremiah 31: 31-34). It was used to validate the Pentecostal experience and the birth of
the body of Christ, His Church, using a prophetical precedent.

However, Joel’s prophecy’s ultimate fulfillment awaits the time of Jacob’s Trouble, the
Tribulation period also known as the ‘Day of the LORD’. God will pour out His spirit upon His
people during the time of great upheaval in the heavens and the earth. See Isaiah 13:10;
Zechariah 12:9,10; Revelation 8:12.

2. Which of the following is not a primary teaching of the Book of Joel?

a. The Day of the LORD is coming upon the earth to judge sin.
b. There is no escape for the wicked when God judges them.
c. God uses people to accomplish His purposes - despite their weaknesses.
d. Hope of deliverance & salvation depend on God’s promises.
e. Israel’s future glory when the Messiah returns.
