What does the name “Joel” mean?

Joel 1:1 (ESV)

1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel:

Joel means Yahweh is God. There is only one God, and he is Yahweh. Yahweh is not just any person. He is God in the full sense of the word. Bow down in worship and in that reverence before him, but also, go and listen in trust to what Joel has recorded from God’s mouth.
