E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Joel 3:21

cleanse . . . cleansed = clear . . . cleared. This could be done only by avenging it; for God will "by no means clear the guilty" (Exodus 34:7 . Numbers 14:18 ); and Egypt, Edom, &c., were guilty (Joel 3:19 ), and are not to be cleansed", but punished for shedding Judah's blood. The Hebrew nakah is not used of cleansing, naturally or ceremonially. Not the same word as Isaiah 4:4 . The Septuagint and Syriac render it "make inquisition for" in 2 Kings 9:7 ; and evidently read nakam = to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joel 3:18

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.This verse begins a paragraph concluding the whole prophecy in which there is a metaphorical description of the wonderful blessings available to the children of God in their service of Christ and his kingdom. It may well be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joel 3:19

"Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.This continues to be metaphor. Egypt and Edom were traditional enemies of God's people; and the ruin of such nations (all such) was here prophesied. It has continued to be fulfilled throughout all history. Those very nations on earth today where the gospel is not known are the very places where debauchery, poverty, wretchedness,... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Joel 3:21

"And I will cleanse their blood which I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.As Myers pointed out, "The Lord dwells in Zion" is almost a signature of validity with which Joel closes his book."[31] This word is one of assurance and encouragement and a guarantee of the eternal continuity and abiding presence of the Lord among his people. They will never be deserted or forsaken. No matter what may happen around them, nothing can really happen to them; for they are God's! Myers also... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joel 3:18

Joel 3:18. The mountains shall drop down new wine— Chandler paraphrases this verse thus: "The consequence of this happy deliverance shall be the utmost plenty; for at this time the vine shall produce the greatest abundance, so that the mountains shall drop down new wine. The hills shall abound with cattle, and, as it were, flow with the plenty of milk which they shall yield. The course of the rivers shall be no more diverted, but stream down throughout all the land of Judah; and a fountain... read more

Joel 3:20. Judah shall dwell for ever— That is, shall subsist a separate kingdom and estate, (as it is explained in the next clause) from generation to generation, or, for several generations or years; referring to the Christian church, and the final restoration of the Jews. The words may be understood in their full force. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joel 3:21

Joel 3:21. For I will cleanse, &c.—cleansed— For I will avenge, &c. avenged. Houbigant reads, I will avenge their blood, and not spare; and the Lord shall inhabit Zion. The reader will see a variety of different interpretations in Pocock: but none of these, says Dr. Chandler, satisfy me. If we read the former part of the words by way of interrogation, the sense will appear strong and beautiful, and the answer in the latter clause just and striking. "Judah shall dwell for ever; but shall... read more
