Is a supernatural “Joel’s Army” really coming? We’re dissecting this popular charismatic teaching and asking: What does the Bible actually say about Joel 2?For decades, some in the charismatic movement have preached about a coming “Joel’s Army”—an elite end-times company of believers who will march in supernatural power and usher in the Kingdom. But is that really what Joel 2 teaches? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we put the Joel 2 Army teaching under the microscope. We’ll trace its origins in the Latter Rain movement, how it spread through the Kansas City Prophets, and why it never appears in church history. Most importantly, we’ll go back to the text of Joel to see whether Scripture supports the idea—or if it actually teaches something very different.Join us as we debunk this popular but problematic teaching and recover the true message of Joel: a call to repentance, a promise of restoration, and the outpouring of God’s Spirit on all flesh.Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.
