Preliminary Remarks on Joel's Influence on the Apocalyptic of Zechariah's Book

Abstract

This study explores, in a preliminary fashion, possible eschatological influences of Joel on the book of Zechariah. Specifically, Zechariah’s last apocalyptic discourse, i.e. chapters 12–14, will be contrasted with Joel’s apocalypse (3:1–4:21 MT). The study shows that both literary units share linguistic, thematic, and structural elements which are most properly explained as borrowings of Zechariah from Joel.
