Luke 18:9-14
After prophesying a time of devastation on the land of Judah, including an infestation of locusts that would consume all the crops (Joel 1:2-12), the prophet Joel speaks of a time of restoration. God will restore the “autumn and spring rains” (2:23); the grain harvest will be great and the new wine and oil will overflow (2:25).

Then the people will know again that their God is with them (2:27)...
