Joel’s use of the term, then, is in harmony with the totality of Scripture.
By “the day of the LORD” is meant that time when, for his glory and their good, God actively intervenes in the affairs of men in judgment against sin and in connection with his determined will for his own.
What am I certain about?
The Spirit of God has come.
What does this signify?

“all flesh” - at first seemed to only mean the Jewish people -
This is further developed in ,
Summary: the Holy Spirit is mediated through the Person of Jesus Christ
SO THAT the Holy Spirit can be mediated through “all people” -
,
,
Application: Are you mediating the message of Christ?
(3) God’s blessing would sound the alarm about the coming day of the Lord ()
The coming of the Spirit of God did not necessitate the fulfilling of this immediately
