The Biblical Illustrator - Joel 2:18-20

Joel 2:18-20Then will the Lord be Jealous for His land, and pity His people.The Divine attitude towards repentant soulsI. Toward repentant souls God is strict in the manifestation of a jealous regard. “Then will the Lord be jealous for His land, and pity His people.” Thus we see the change which repentance makes in the circumstances and conditions of men.

PROMISE OF JEHOVAH TO AVERT THE JUDGMENT AND TO BESTOW ABUNDANT BLESSINGS, Joel 2:18 to Joel 3:21.

Now he promises to remove the locusts and to restore prosperity, such as has not been known before, until all will know that Jehovah himself dwells in the midst of the people (Joel 2:18-27).
