Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joel 2:27
"And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame.As Cole said, the expression "and there is none else ... is as strong a statement of monotheism as anything in the second half of Isaiah, or anywhere else in the O.T."[37]The ends-of-the-earth implication of these last verses in this section is further emphasized by the switch immediately afterward to the glorious promises of the outpouring of... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Joel 2:27
27. know that I am in the midst of Israel—As in the Old Testament dispensation God was present by the Shekinah, so in the New Testament first, for a brief time by the Word made flesh dwelling among us ( :-), and to the close of this dispensation by the Holy Spirit in the Church (Matthew 28:20), and probably in a more perceptible manner with Israel when restored (Matthew 28:20- :). never be ashamed—not an unmeaning repetition from Joel 2:26. The twice-asserted truth enforces its unfailing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joel 2:1-27
III. A NEAR FUTURE DAY OF THE LORD: A HUMAN INVASION 2:1-27Joel had spoken briefly of a coming day of the Lord in Joel 1:15, but now he said more about it.The term "the day of the Lord" seems to have arisen from the popular concept, in the ancient Near East, that a really great warrior king could consummate an entire military campaign in one single day. [Note: See Douglas Stuart, "The Sovereign’s Day of Conquest," Bulletin of the American Schools of Oriental Research 220/21 (December 1975,... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joel 2:18-27
C. The possibility of forgiveness and restoration 2:18-27Joel next revealed the Lord’s response and comforting words in view of the people’s private and public repentance. It is unclear whether he meant that the Lord had responded or would respond. The problem is the Hebrew perfect verbs, which can be rendered in English with either past or future verbs. Several English translations (NASB, NIV, AV) interpreted the Lord’s response as being conditioned on the people’s repentance and translated... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joel 2:19-27
2. The Lord’s promise of blessing 2:19-27Having given His essential response to the people’s repentance, the Lord now explained what He would do in more detail. This section is chiastic with the focus of emphasis on Joel 2:21-24. Joel 2:19; Joel 2:26-27 promise a restoration of crops and a cessation of shame. Joel 2:20; Joel 2:25 promise the elimination of enemies, and Joel 2:21-24 urge courage and encourage rejoicing. read more

The people would have plenty to eat and would feel satisfied physically. They would also be full spiritually and praise Yahweh their God for working wonders for them (cf. Exodus 3:15; Exodus 15:11; Exodus 34:10; Joshua 3:5; Judges 6:13; Psalms 77:14). They would never be put to shame, again assuming that they continued in their attitude of humble trust and obedience (cf. Joel 2:19). God’s blessings would evidence His presence among them and the intimacy of their fellowship with Him (cf. Numbers... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 2:1-32
Repentance followed by RestorationJoel 2:1-17 are another description of the locust plague. An alarm is sounded as though the Day of Jehovah had come (Joel 2:1-3). The advance of the locusts into the city is described under the figure of an invading army (Joel 2:4-11). A message to the penitent is given from Jehovah (Joel 2:12-14), and a call is issued for a fast of supplication (Joel 2:15-17). Then follow the announcements that Jehovah has had pity on His people, and that He will remove the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joel 2:12-27
2:12-32 GOD’S MERCY ON THE REPENTANTRepentance and restoration (2:12-27)Although God is the one who has sent this judgment, it is not too late for the people to ask for his mercy. However, this must be accompanied by genuine inward repentance, not just by the outward show of torn clothing, sackcloth and ashes. God may then restore their fields and vineyards, and they will be able to worship him with their cereal and wine offerings again (12-14).Once more a trumpet is blown, but this time to... read more
