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.

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.

Joel 3:17. Then shall Jerusalem be holy— That is, "After this, Jerusalem shall be safe under my care, and be no more profaned by the hostile armies of these mine enemies." These expressions, perhaps, may have a further reference; and as we have found in the former prophets, that, under predictions of deliverances from particular enemies, great and future deliverances also in some remote ages are signified, this possibly may be the case with this latter part of Joel's prophesy; wherein it has... read more

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

The victories of the Jews over their cruel foe Antiochus, under the Maccabees, may be a reference of this prophecy; but the ultimate reference is to the last Antichrist, of whom Antiochus was the type.
