# Proclaim (Proclamation)
The word “proclaim” is used to talk about the act of speaking a message publicly. The message could be from a king or other ruler. A “proclamation” is the message that someone speaks publicly. God often gave a message to a messenger. God wanted the messenger to proclaim this message. Jesus proclaimed the gospel of God (see: Mark 1:14).

God used the prophet Joel to proclaim to the Israelites to prepare for the day of the Lord (see: Joel 3:9). The Israelites were supposed to proclaim to their children and to others all the good things God had done (see: Psalm 107:22; 145:4).
