The prophet whose prediction about God's Spirit got quoted on the day of Pentecost
A prophet of Judah who used a devastating locust plague as a launching pad to preach about the coming 'Day of the LORD.' He called the nation to repentance and promised that God would pour out His Spirit on all people — sons and daughters, old and young, servants. Peter quoted Joel 2 directly when explaining what was happening on Pentecost in Acts 2.
