A. THE DAY OF THE LOCUSTS (1:1-2:27)
B. THE DAY OF THE LORD (2:28-3:21)
The locust plague was only a foretaste of the judgment to come in the day of the Lord. This is a timeless call to repentance with the promise of blessing. Just as the people faced the tragedy of their crops being destroyed, we, too, will face tragic judgment is we live in sin. But God's grace is available to us both now and in that coming day.
