Kontakion: Since thou hadst seen the Glory of God in the Spirit, thou truly didst foreknow His Divine dispensation; for as thou didst say, God’s Spirit is poured forth upon all flesh that believeth in Him Who appeared to the earthborn in a servant’s form and made thee wondrous for ever, O Joel, thou seer of God.
