約珥書 3:11 RCUVTS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joel 3:1-21

Finally the prophet moved on to a yet higher level, and dealt wholly with things to come. The great word introducing the section is "afterward." Some of the things foretold have now been fulfilled, some are still in the future. In looking toward the distant Day of Jehovah, Joel saw an intervening period of an entirely different character. This he described, ending his message with a declaration concerning the Day of the Lord, which was the real burden on his spirit. Of the intervening period... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 3:9-14

YHWH Calls The Nations To Judgment Before Him And His Mighty Ones (Joel 3:9-14 ). The final day of YHWH is set up and the nations are called for judgment. The nations send out the call because they clearly think that they will be able to do battle with YHWH (as they always do) but really it is YHWH Who has called them, and they are reduced to helplessness by YHWH’s Mighty Ones. In the midst of life and expectation of great booty they are suddenly and unexpectedly faced up with YHWH’s... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 3:9-17

Joel 3:9-Esther : . A Challenge to the Nations to Appear in the Valley of Judgment to Meet their Doom.— Returning to the idea of Joel 3:2, Joel represents Yahweh as bidding the heralds make proclamation among the nations, challenging them to perform the religious rites used to initiate a campaign, and to advance against Him. Let them put their utmost strength into the battle, converting the implements of peace into weapons of war (contrast Isaiah 2:4), and playing the hero even to the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joel 3:1-21

Joel 3:1 . Behold, in those days, in the days of the Messiah, as stated from the twenty eighth verse of the preseding chapter. Of course all references in our elder critics, to Cambyses, and to Judas Maccabeus, are superseded at a single view. Cambyses, son of Cyrus, conquered Egypt by a ruse du guerre. He sent his soldiers against their fortified cities with what was deemed a sacred beast under their hand, against which the Egyptians durst not fight. He sent spies also with presents to... read more
