Verse 19

Joel had interpreted the Lord’s response (Joel 2:18), and now he relayed His instructions (Joel 2:19-27). Yahweh would restore all that the locusts had eaten: grain, wine, and oil (cf. Joel 1:10). The people would enjoy plenty of these products in the future (cf. Deuteronomy 6:10-11; Deuteronomy 8:7-10; Deuteronomy 11:13-15). Yahweh would also never again allow the nations to disparage His people, assuming that they would not apostatize again (cf. Joel 2:26-27). Another view, less acceptable from my viewpoint, is that this promise is unconditional and refers to Israel’s eschatological future. The problem with this view is that the Jews will experience some antagonism at the very end of the Millennium (Revelation 20:7-10).
