When was the book o f Joel written ? |

|

When was the book of Joel written because all the
time I was thinking it was written before the exile in 586 BC. The NIV says it was writtten between 835-796 BC. The NKJV says in 805 BC. But now I hear some say it was written in the postexilic period 500-350 BC. I am confused really. Can I get a correct picture on this book of Joel? |

Dear Mylwa, From the New Unger's Bible Dictionary:
Critics commonly date Joel's prophecy anywhere from the division of the kingdom (c. 932 B.C.) to the time of Malachi (c. 400 B.C.) or even later. The safest date seems to be preexilic. The reign of Joash (835-796 B.C.) is most appropriate for the prophecy.
Several lines of argument would seem to indicate that Joel's prophecy is early. Its style and general spirit are dissimilar to that of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, postexilic prophets. Its language and style rather belong to the period of Hebrew classical literature. Joel's diction seems reminiscent of Amos, who himself seems to have made use of Joel (cf. JOE 3:16 with AMO 1:2; JOE 3:18 with AMO 9:13). Perhaps most significant is the lack of the mention of a king in the book. Joash was a minor and for a long time under the guardianship of Jehoida the high priest. Then too, Israel's enemies were the Phoenicians and Philistines (JOE 3:4), the Egyptians and Edomites (JOE 3:19), and the Assyrians and the Babylonians who harassed Israel from the time of Amos to the Exile. Cornill, Oesterley and Robinson, Merx, and S. R. Driver agree for a postexilic date but their evidence is inconclusive. JOE 3:2 is supposed to allude to the Exile but this is clearly a predictive passage of the nation's present-day scattering and by no means needs to refer to the Babylonian captivity. The mention of the Javanim or "Ionians" does not necessitate a date after the Exile. These people are alluded to in the Assyrian records of the eighth century B.C. Arguments based on the silence with regard to a king or idolatrous places of worship in the Northern Kingdom are pointless. Such mention is also lacking in Nahum, Jonah, Zephaniah, and Obadiah.

Hello Mylwa, This is a very good question and the honest answer is that we don't know. I am in agreement with Charis's eariler post about the dating, and Ryrie's Study Bible says, "Joel ... apparently wrote during the days of young King Jehoash (835-796), who was under the regency of priests when he ascended the throne of Judah at the age of seven (2 Kings 11:21). Though some date the book after the Exile, the enemies of Judah are not identified in the prophecy as Arameans, Assyrians, or Babylonians, as would be the case if the book were written after the captivity (see Joel 3:4,19)." However, Nelson's NKJV Study Bible says, "Others believe that the Book of Joel is so close in tone and idea to the Book of Zephaniah that it is likely that the two prophets were contemporaries. The primary evidence for this as the fact that both books prominently feature the concept of the impending 'day of the Lord' (compare 2:1, 2 with Zeph. 1:14-16). Since Zephaniah's book dates from around 627 B.C., a number of scholars assign a date of about 600 B.C. for the Book of Joel." So as you can see, there is little 'hard evidence' for agreement here. |

Prior to the crucifixion, did Jesus
condemn a Roman soldier to walk the
earth until his return? The movie
The Seventh Sign shows such an event.
What is this soldier's name and what is
the scripture? |

There is no Scripture reference regarding this question. And that is because the event you described in the film The Seventh Seal is not recorded in the Bible. |

Genesis 2:24
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Matthew 19:5
and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?
Mark 10:8
and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one.
Ephes. 5:31
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." |

Amos 1:1

In Ezekiel 21:1-27, there is a prophecy here that declares that God had drawn a sword against Israel (vv.1-7). Verses 18-23 explain that Ezekiel was informed that God would supernaturally direct Babylon toward Jerusalem, giving them an omen to go in that direction. Thus, the Babylonian Captivity was fulfilled (2 Chronicles 36:11-15). In Isaiah 39:1-8, Hezekiah shows envoys from Babylon all of his treasure (v. 1-2). Isaiah chided him for this (3-4) and predicted that all of his treasures would be carried off to Babylon including some of his descendants (5-8), but that this event would not occur in his lifetime. (2 Kings 20:16-19)Habakkuk 1:5-11 begins a prediction of the Babylonian invasion. |

Women's hair length and 1 Corinthians 11 |
|
|
|
Amos 1:1
|

I attend a Conservative Mennonite Church and part of our discipline includes that women should wear a veiling.Here's our position on the veiling..The we be Scriptural in our hairstyles and honor the Christian order of headship in 1 Cor. 11:1-16. Men are to assume leadership roles in the area of spirituality. They should be examples of Christian discipleship and recognize their responsibility for the spiritual well being of the church and family. Men need to be examples of non-conformity to the world in their hairstyles, avoiding the latest fashions. They shall have short hair and be uncovered for praying or prophesying. We believe the covering is referring to a distinctive symbol, and not just casual headgear, however, we do ask that men remove such headgear when suitable as a sign of reverence to God.Women are to serve in a supportive role in the order of Christian headship. They should accept their Scriptural position of honor and femininity demonstrated by her long hair and consistent wearing of the veil. Sisters should manage their hair and wear their coverings in a manner that strengthens rather then weakens Scriptural convictions. While we do not require the hair to be worn up at all times, we believe wearing the hair up will make it easier to wear a covering and reduce the temptation to shorten and style the hair. Without specifying type of material, the covering should be a distinctive symbol, of substantial size, and be either a fitted or a hanging type veil large enough to cover the hair on the crown of the back of the head and visible from the sides. Worn properly, it will not allow for the hair to be placed over the covering. Because flat coverings and doilies are often seen as a loss of conviction for the veil, we ask that our sisters not wear them. It is important that brethren support the sisters in their distinctive appearance by their own attitudes and appearance. Together, brothers and sisters should willingly accept the directives of God's Word and be a witness to a Post-Christian world. (Taken from the Griner Conservative Mennonite Church Covenant, Middlebury, IN)My church's position on 1 Cor. 11 is pretty clear here, and you will find this consistent throughout the Anabaptist/Mennonite/Amish tradition. My church is one step away from being Amish Mennonite.It was viewed as a disgrace for a woman to wear short hair in Scripture (Isaiah 3:24, Ezekiel 16:7, 1 Corinthians 11:15, Revelation 9:8). 1 Cor. 11:6 says that it was a shame for a man to wear long hair, except for the Nazirites of course (Judg 16:17). |

Codes for men? |
|
|
|
Amos 1:1
|
| |
Dear Nolan Keck, I ask in curiosity, what about a 'dress code' for men? I have lived near 'Amish country' and seen their version. I have to wonder where they got their dress code for men. It is close to a uniform, but certainly nothing like what was worn by the early Corinthian church. They certainly did not have neckties and brimmed hats. The Amish state a very similar 'code' toward women as you express above. How would you account for other 'codes' of dress and conduct that are maybe 200 years old, but definitely not 2000 years old. It does seem to me that many of the 'correct' rules are man-made extrapolations, not sola scriptura truths. Again, this is a not an idictment. In Japan there are few 'ultra-conservative' groups (my words, I hope not offensive), so I have no opportunity to ask these kind of questions. BTW, my hair is short, and so are all the men of my church, but does I Corinthians 11:6 really say that it is a shame for a man to have long hair?
Blessings, dear brother, in Jesus' name, charis |

Amos 1:1

Hello and blessings charis! 1 Corinthians 11:7 states that a man 'ought not to have his head covered' since he is the image and glory of God- I take this verse to mean anything from a hat to a hairstyle that is distracting towards worship. Some friends of mine in the past (guys) have chosen to wear their hair long and that did not personally distract me from worshiping with them. However, I feel that Paul here is providing direction for worshiping in the blessing of the Holy Spirit- to be honorable towards God in everything that we do, even how we wear our hair. Perhaps this is a question that should be answered by one's own conviction, but the church that I attend has certain guidelines to follow, much as in the spirit of Paul, to provide direction for worshiping God in the blessing of the Holy Spirit. I am not saying that a man is not in the blessing of the Holy Spirit if he does not cut his hair, but I feel that if the way that a person wears their hair becomes a distraction or stumbling block to the congregation, then they should review their decisions to make sure that they are proceeding in the utmost love and servanthood for the fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. In reality, there are no rules that we should follow, like cutting our hair a certain length or whatever. We are above the law if we are filled with the Spirit, and my church has this guideline to help insure that we are acting in the blessing of the Spirit. And everything that we do should be accomplished out of our love for one another. I am not saying that a man who wears long hair is out of the blessing of the Holy Spirit, he may be following the Spirit more intimately! However, in my church it would be a problem for people to accept as a member a man who wears his hair long because of the guidelines that we have agreed to in order to protect the church as a whole from not acting in the blessing of the Spirit. I believe that this is the spirit of Paul's message- to act in love and to act in the blessing of the Holy Spirit. If our motives are pure and we act in love, then we will be in the blessing of the Holy Spirit no matter what our hair length is. As for the Amish wearing vests and wide-brimmed hats, you will find a variance in their rules regarding those things just by going from church to church! :) I am not comfortable in my spirit observing these types of rules, that you should wear hats or uniforms or certain kinds of clothing. That is where I have (in my innermost spirit) 'drawn the line' for myself, and I will not go 'more Conservative' (adopting the views of the strict order Amish) because I believe that they are more focused on tradition rather than focusing on the Holy Spirit. So I see what you mean about the rules that are 200 years old and not 2000.. I hope that I have been a little more clear here. Have a blessed day! |
