Verses 24-27
24-27. The heavens are open once more, the drought will come to an end, the locusts will disappear, the harvest and vintage will be plentiful, so that the presence of Jehovah will indeed be realized. 24. A repetition by the prophet of the thought expressed by Jehovah in Joel 2:19. The conditions described in Joel 1:10-12, are to be reversed; corn, wine, and oil will be plentiful.
Floors Threshing floors, where corn is threshed out and heaped up (Thomson, 2:314-316).
Fats Modern form, vats. Not the wine presses, but the receptacles into which the wine flows from the presses, usually excavated in the natural rock (Isaiah 5:2), a little lower than the presses (Van Lennep, 117ff.); applied here also to the receptacles for the oil. The vintage will be so plentiful that the vats will overflow (Proverbs 3:10).
