ヨエル書 2:27 JCB

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joel 2:12-27

the Averting of Judgment Joel 2:12-27 To rend the garment is easy, but a broken and contrite heart can be imparted only by the grace of the Holy Spirit. The love of God should bring us to repentance. He takes no pleasure in our miseries and if men repent and turn from their sin they find an immediate and loving welcome to the Father’s heart and home. Joel had called for the trumpet to announce war; he now directs the trumpet blast to summon the people, from the highest to the lowest, to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joel 2:1-27

Having thus dealt with the actual visitation and its terrible devastation, and having called the people into the place of humiliation, the prophet rose to a higher level, and interpreted the visitation as indicating a deeper and more terrible judgment threatening them. In doing this, he made use of the figure of the blowing of a trumpet. The first blast sounded a note of alarm as it announced the approach of the Day of Jehovah. With the figure of the locusts still in mind, the prophet... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 2:18-27

Having Accepted His People’s Repentance YHWH Promises To Deliver Them from The Plagues Of Locusts By Casting The Locusts Into The Seas On Both Sides Of The Land And That He Will Then Restore The Fruitfulness of Their Land (Joel 2:18-27 ). After the plagues came the deliverance, presumably because the people repented in accordance with Joel’s instructions (Joel 2:15-17). As a consequence of their repentance YHWH was ‘jealous’ for His land. He one again recognised it as His own and determined... read more

And ye, who repent, pray, are blessed with such answer to your prayers, shall know; by experience shall see, and acknowledge. That I am in the midst of Israel; my true Israel, obedient Israel; I am with them to bless them, defend them, guide them, and provide for them. That I am the Lord; the almighty and everlasting God.

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joel 2:1-32

Chapter 2Now he uses this as the springboard and he begins to speak now of a yet future day of devastation that is coming from armies that are to invade the land. And in the second chapter, as he describes this invading army, it is interesting to notice the description that he gives, because it is not much of a stretch of the imagination for us to see that he is describing modern warfare. The things that he described were things that were totally unknown and unheard of in his day, but yet they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joel 2:1-32

Joel 2:1 . Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, to convoke a solemn assembly for fasting and humiliation. Numbers 10:2-3. Joel 2:2 . A day of darkness, nigrum esse. The army of locusts obscured the light while flying through the air. More than twenty travellers are agreed on this subject. An army of locusts sometimes is a mile, and sometimes ten miles broad in the air. In a moral view, darkness implies the greatest of national disasters. Joel 2:3 . A fire devoureth before them. The... read more

The character under which the persons mentioned in the text appear before us. He calls them “My people.” This shows that they belong to God by some peculiar appropriation.
