Joel 2:27 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 2:27

And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel
The presence of God among his people shall be so manifest, the tokens of it so clear, that it shall be easily known, by the impressions of his love upon them; the teachings of his Spirit in them; the usefulness of the word and ordinances to them; the spiritual and heavenly frame of soul they shall be favoured with, and the savouriness of their conversation; this is the blessing Christ has promised to Gospel ministers and churches, ( Matthew 28:20 ) ; and [that] I [am] the Lord your God, and none else;
that he is their covenant God and Father, and acknowledge none else: and my people shall never be ashamed;
which is repeated for the certainty of it; see ( Joel 2:26 ) .

Joel 2:27 In-Context

25 I will give you back what you lost in the years when swarms of locusts ate your crops. It was I who sent this army against you.

26 Now you will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied. You will praise the Lord your God, who has done wonderful things for you. My people will never be despised again.

27 Then, Israel, you will know that I am among you and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. My people will never be despised again.

28 "Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your old people will have dreams, and your young people will see visions.

29 At that time I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, both men and women.
