Welcome to the book of Joel! Easton Bible Dictionary provides us with this overview:

Joel was probably a resident in Judah, as his commission was to that people. He makes frequent mention of Judah and Jerusalem #Joe 1:14 #Joe 2:1,15,32 3:1,12,17,20,21 He probably flourished in the reign of Uzziah (about B.C. 800) and was contemporary with Amos and Isaiah. The contents of this book are, 

1. A prophecy of a great public calamity then impending over the land, consisting of a want of water and an extraordinary plague of locusts #Joe 1:1-2:11 

2. The prophet then calls on his countrymen to repent and to turn to God, assuring them of his readiness to forgive #Joe 2:12-17 and foretelling the restoration of the land to its accustomed fruitfulness #Joe 2:18-26 

3. Then follows a Messianic prophecy, quoted by Peter #Joe 2:27-32 #Ac 2:39 

4. Finally, the prophet foretells portents and judgments as destined to fall on the enemies of God #Joe 3:1-21 but in the Hebrew text chapter 4. 

Revelation 4 gives us a view of the Throne in Heaven.
