Joel 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 2:21

Fear not, O land
O land of Israel, as the Targum, and the inhabitants of it; neither of the locusts, who had so terrified them, and had done so much mischief, and threatened more; nor of their enemies, the Assyrians or Chaldeans, and their powerful armies, or any other; but, on the contrary, be glad, and rejoice;
at the removal of the locusts, and at the destruction of their enemies: for the Lord will do great things;
good things, in opposition to the evil things done by the locusts, as Aben Ezra, Kimchi, and Ben Melech observe; or by the destroying army of the king of Assyria, by delivering the Jews out of the Babylonish captivity; and in the times of the Maccabees, and especially in the times of Christ, which are quickly prophesied of in this chapter; and which prophecies some interpreters begin here, it not being unusual for the prophets to pass directly from things temporal to things spiritual, and especially to the great deliverance and salvation by Christ, and also by temporal blessings to design spiritual ones.

Joel 2:21 In-Context

19 Y les respondió el SEÑOR:«Miren, les enviaré cereales, vino nuevo y aceite,hasta dejarlos plenamente satisfechos;y no volveré a entregarlosal oprobio entre las naciones.

20 »Alejaré de ustedes al que viene del norte,arrojándolo hacia una tierra seca y desolada:lanzaré su vanguardia hacia el mar oriental,y su retaguardia hacia el mar occidental.Subirá su hedory se elevará su fetidez».¡El Señor hará grandes cosas!

21 No temas, tierra,sino alégrate y regocíjate,porque el SEÑOR hará grandes cosas.

22 No teman, animales del campo,porque los pastizales de la estepa reverdecerán;los árboles producirán su fruto,y la higuera y la vid darán su riqueza.

23 Alégrense, hijos de Sión,regocíjense en el SEÑOR su Dios,que a su tiempo les dará las lluvias de otoño.Les enviará la lluvia,la de otoño y la de primavera,como en tiempos pasados.
