F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joel 1:1-20

a Summons to Penitence Joel 1:1-20 ; Joel 2:1-11 We know nothing of Joel beyond this book. He was content to be God’s mouthpiece and remain unknown. His message was one of unparalleled woe. The memory of God’s loving kindness ought to have kept His people faithful and loyal, but since grace and love had failed to affect them awful judgments were announced. A small insect, the locust, was to prostrate man’s boasted power. The four kinds of locusts here described and which doubtless... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joel 1:1-20

Joel was especially a prophet to Judah. The burden of his message was the Day of the Lord. It seems to be one remarkable utterance rather than notes of a ministry covering a long period. A terrible locust plague which had devastated the entire country was the occasion of its deliverance. Joel spoke of things which were evident to those whom he addressed, then predicted an immediate judgment, and finally looked far on to the ultimate Day of the Lord. In the first division are two sections. The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 1:6-18

A Description of the Plague And Its Consequences (Joel 1:6-18 ). The effects of the huge plagues of locusts which had arrived to devastate the land are graphically described, and the consequences in the devastation of all vegetation in the land, with the result that both the people and the priests and servants of the Temple mourn and weep over what has happened, especially because it means that the meal and drink offerings are no longer available in the house of YHWH, and there are great... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joel 1:5-12

Joel 1:5-2 Kings : . The Distress Caused by the Plague. Joel 1:5-Judges : . The wine-bibbers— no censure is implied; they are mentioned first because of the contrast between their accustomed merriment and the tears they are bidden to shed— are summoned to arouse from their drunken sleep and bemoan the devastation of the vineyards. The many-mouthed host of invaders (for nation” cf. Proverbs 30:25 f.) has wrought such destruction that it is likened to a ravening lion. Vine and fig-tree are... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joel 1:6

This verse countenanceth their conjecture who take the locusts and vermin to be emblematical in part as well as literal; for it seems not very suitable to call their teeth teeth of a lion. For a nation; an innumerable multitude of locusts and caterpillars, called a nation here, as Solomon calls the conies and the ants, Proverbs 30:25,Proverbs 30:26. A prognostic of a very numerous and mighty nation, that ere long will invade Judah. Is come up, or suddenly will come, upon my land; upon Canaan,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joel 1:7

He, that nation of locusts, Joel 1:6, both literally and mystically understood, hath laid my vine waste; made it a desolation, i.e. most desolate, which is more particularly declared in what followeth. And barked my fig tree; peeled off the bark. which is certain destruction to the tree. Made it clean bare; eat off all the rind and green bark, and left the body of both vine and fig tree bare and stripped. And cast it away; as vermin cast out of their mouth the chewings of what they spoil, so... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joel 1:1-7

CRITICAL NOTES.] The prophecy opens with lamentation over the land, made desolate by successive swarms of locusts. Joel 1:2-4 contain the spirited introduction. Old men] are called upon to note the unusual course of nature. Inhabitants] of Judah, whatever part they occupy, and whatever calamities they have witnessed, are asked to say if in their own, or in the days of their fathers, there had ever been a calamity so sweeping and so terrible. Children] must be impressed with a sense of national... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joel 1:1-20

Shall we turn in our Bibles to the book of Joel.Joel is a prophet of which we have no light of his background except what he gives to us. He is the son of Pethuel, but who Pethuel is, we don't know. So it really doesn't help us that much. Joel was a prophet to Judah; that is, the Southern Kingdom. He probably was familiar with Elijah and no doubt was well acquainted with Elisha, because the time of his prophecy pretty much corresponds to the time that Elisha was prophesying to Israel, the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joel 1:1-20

Joel 1:1 . Joel, the son of Pethuel. Nothing can be gathered from antiquity of this prophet, but what appears from his writings. His father was either a prophet or a man of note, as may be presumed from the beginning of Amos. The Hebrew canon makes Joel contemporary with Isaiah and Hosea. He lived near the time of a sore famine. Compare Joel 1:4, with 2 Kings 8:1, and Jeremiah 14:1-4, The latter famine must be alluded to, if there were not one in the interval. He is supposed to have lived... read more

Joel 1:5-9Awake, ye drunkards, and weep.The insensibility and misery of the drunkardThe prophet now endeavours to awaken certain characters in the nation to an earnest sense of the woe that has overtaken them, and to deep repentance, that it may be averted. His first warning cry is to the drunkard. The evils of intoxication are often intimately connected with national plagues, and require that earnest ministries should be directed against them.I. that the drunkard is insensible to the most... read more
