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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joel 3:20

"But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.Judah and Jerusalem here, as frequently, are symbols of God's true Israel upon earth (both the old and the new), that is, God's true covenant people of both the O.T. and the N.T. It is the perpetual continuation of God's covenant people upon earth which is indicated by this, and the words may not be applied carnally to any heavenly guarantee of the inviolability of the secular state, whether that of Israel, or any... read more

Egypt and Edom, probably representative of Israel’s enemies, will become deserts because they shed innocent blood, presumably the blood of God’s people. But Judah and Jerusalem would be full of people for all generations to come (cf. Ezekiel 37:25; Amos 9:15; Zechariah 14:11). read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 3:1-21

The Judgment of the Heathen and the Glory of IsraelA general judgment of all nations, for their mistreatment of Israel, is announced in the valley of Jehoshaphat (Joel 3:1-4). Tyre, Zidon, and Philistia, immediate neighbours of Israel, are arraigned for robbery and slave trade, and sentenced according to the lex talionis (Joel 3:5-8). All nations are then summoned as though to a tryst of arms before Jehovah (Joel 3:9-13), whose terrible Day is described (Joel 3:14-17), ending with the blessing... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Joel 3:1-21

THE JUDGMENT OF THE HEATHENJoel 3:1-21HITHERTO Joel has spoken no syllable of the heathen, except to pray that God by His plagues will not give Israel to be mocked by them. But in the last chapter of the Book we have Israel’s captivity to the heathen taken for granted, a promise made that it will be removed and their land set free from the foreigner. Certain nations are singled out for judgment, which is described in the terms of Apocalypse; and the Book closes with the vision, already familiar... read more
