Graphic Bible · Scene 2 of 19
Joel 2:2-3
Darkness over the hills
Return with All Your Heart · Joel 2
Story guide: The advancing swarm separates cultivated hills from scorched land. This contrast gives visual form to Joel’s overwhelming invasion: abundance lies ahead of it, devastation follows behind.
Open this scene in the reader →2A day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness; like dawn spread over the mountains, a great and mighty people comes. Nothing like it has ever been from of old, and after it there will not again be any, through the years of generation after generation.
3Before it, fire devours; behind it, a flame blazes. The land before it is like the garden of Eden, but behind it is a desolate wilderness; indeed, nothing escapes it.
