Joel 2:20 - Forerunner Commentary

Joel 2:20

The Land Refreshed

18 Then the Lord will ^abe zealous for His land,
And pity His people.

19 The Lord will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I will send you ^agrain and new wine and oil,
And you will be satisfied by them;
I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.

20 “But ^aI will remove far from you ^bthe northern army,
And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land,
With his face toward the eastern sea
And his back ^ctoward the western sea;
His stench will come up,
And his foul odor will rise,
Because he has done¹ monstrous things.”

21 Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the Lord has done¹ marvelous things!

22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field;
For ^athe open pastures are springing up,
And the tree bears its fruit;
The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,
And ^arejoice in the Lord your God;
For He has given you the¹ former rain faithfully,
And He ^bwill cause the rain to come down for you—
The former rain,
And the latter rain in the first month.
