約珥書 3:16-17 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Joel 3:15-17

That day-the fear of the wicked, the hope of the just. These verses picture the dread accompaniments of the time and place of the destruction of the wicked. They give us a glimpse, and a most alarming one, of the final catastrophe. I. THE DAY OF DECISION SHALL BE A DAY OF DARKNESS , Apart from the decision itself and consequent execution of Divine wrath upon the ungodly—an execution which, as if baffling the power of words to describe, is left to imagination to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joel 3:16

Out of Zion . The presence of Jehovah is the immediate occasion of these terrors; and hence his voice proceeds from Jerusalem, or more particularly from Zion, where the visible symbol of his presence long dwelt. "For there," says Kimchi, "was his dwelling in Jerusalem; and as if from thence he roared and uttered his voice against them." Thus far the prophet pictures in very vivid, indeed terribly vivid, colours the frightful scene in the valley of decision: then stops short without... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joel 3:16

The Lord his people's Hope and Strength. The prospect of the day of the Lord is to the sinful fraught with dread and with dismay. To them the judgment brings the delayed condemnation, and therefore the very thought of it is associated with alarm. But the language of this verse reminds us how differently the Divine appearance and interposition are regarded by the true people of God. I. THE RIGHTEOUS LORD IS THE HARBOUR AND THE HOPE OF HIS PEOPLE . 1 . They... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joel 3:17

Jerusalem will be a sanctuary, and strangers will not pass through it any more . In the beginning of this verse Jehovah promises to be the God of his people; he points to the place of his abode, and purifies Jerusalem by judgment that it will be a true holy place, untrodden by the foot of Gentile stranger or Jewish unbeliever any more. His people would recognize his presence and his power by the wonderful deliverance vouchsafed to them. "Jerusalem," says Kimchi, "shall be a sanctuary, like... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joel 3:17

The Lord's holy dwelling-place. When Jerusalem was entered by hostile armies, it must have been to the Jews a sore amazement and trouble to behold the sanctuary of God profaned. The city was a holy city, and the temple was a holy building. National disaster involved the profanation of what was justly regarded as "holiness unto the Lord." I. THE TRUE JERUSALEM IS THE CONSECRATED CHURCH OF CHRIST . In the elder dispensation certain places were holy. But the Christian... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joel 3:16

The Lord shall roar out of Zion - As in the destruction of Sennacherib, when he was now close upon his prey, and “shook his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem, the Lord of hosts lopped the bough with terror, and the high ones of stature were hewn down, and the haughty were humbled Isaiah 10:32-33, so at the end. It is foretold of antichrist, that his destruction shall be sudden, “Then shall that Wicked one be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joel 3:17

God Himself wondrously joins on His own words to those of the prophet, and speaks to His own people; “so (literally, and) ye shall know,” by experience, by sight, face to face, what ye now believe, “that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain.” So He saith in the second Psalm, “Then shall he speak unto them” Psalms 2:5-6 (the enemies of His Christ) “in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure; And I have set My king on My holy hill of Zion;” and, “Behold the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joel 3:16

Joel 3:16. The Lord shall roar out of Zion He shall strike the enemies of his people with astonishment, as the roaring of the lion astonishes the weaker beasts of the forest. And the heavens and the earth shall shake The destruction shall be as certain and dreadful as though God’s enemies were destroyed by thunder and lightning from heaven. But the Lord will be the hope of his people Though the heaven and the earth pass away, his word and promise, given to his servants, shall not pass... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joel 3:17

Joel 3:17. So shall ye know that I am the Lord dwelling in Zion Very graciously present with you, and ever watching over you and delighting to save you. Then shall Jerusalem be holy After the church’s enemies are destroyed, the Messiah is come, and the remnant saved, the people of God shall be holy. There shall no strangers pass through her No profane or unclean person shall be found in the church of Christ. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joel 3:16-21

Blessings for God’s people (3:16-21)The time of God’s judgment on his enemies is also the time of his deliverance of Jerusalem. He protects his people from punishment, purifies them from uncleanness, and gives them peace and prosperity (16-18). Having punished all enemies (symbolized here by Egypt and Edom), God now dwells among his people for ever. The persecutors receive their just punishment, but the righteous enter into eternal life (19-21).The day of the LordIn his book Joel has shown how... read more
