Joel 2:2-14
Excerpted from: The Paradox of Terror and RejoicingIn verse 13, the word "gracious" expresses God's free love, whereby He shows Himself good to us. And "merciful" there expresses the tender longing of His love over our miseries.
First, Joel says that God is slow to anger and longsuffering, and for a long time He endures the wickedness and rebellion of men and waits patiently for the conversion and repentance of sinners. And then he adds that God has great (abundant) kindness, having many resources and advantages of His tender love whereby He can call them to repentance. Last, Joel tells us that God may revoke His sentence of punishment when His conditions are met in verse 14. Up to Jesus Christ's return, God the Father and His Son are still lovingly offering forgiveness to the war-ravaged people alive on earth who may be willing to repent.
