Joël 2:28-32

28 Et il arrivera, après ces choses, que je répandrai mon Esprit sur toute chair; vos fils et vos filles prophétiseront; vos vieillards auront des songes, et vos jeunes gens des visions.
29 Et même sur les serviteurs et sur les servantes, en ces jours-là, je répandrai mon Esprit.
30 Et je ferai des prodiges dans les cieux et sur la terre; du sang, du feu, et des colonnes de fumée.
31 Le soleil sera changé en ténèbres, et la lune en sang, avant que le grand et terrible jour de l'Éternel vienne.
32 Et il arrivera que quiconque invoquera le nom de l'Éternel sera sauvé; car le salut sera sur la montagne de Sion et à Jérusalem, comme l'a dit l'Éternel; et parmi les réchappés seront ceux que l'Éternel appellera.

INTRODUCTION TO JOEL 2

In this chapter a further account is given of the judgment of the locusts and caterpillars, or of those who are designed by them, Joe 2:1-11; the people of the Jews are called to repentance, humiliation, and fasting, urged from the grace and goodness of God, his jealousy and pity for his people, and the answer of prayer that might he expected from him upon this, even to the removal of the calamity, Joe 2:12-20; a prophecy of good things, both temporal and spiritual, in the times of the Messiah, is delivered out as matter and occasion of great joy, Joe 2:21-27; and another concerning the effusion of the Spirit, which was fulfilled an the day of Pentecost, Joe 2:28-29; and the chapter is concluded with the judgments and desolations that should come upon the land of Judea after this, for their rejection of Christ, though the remnant according to the election of grace should be delivered and saved from the general destruction, Joe 2:30-32.
