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 And I will restore to you the years which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm hath eaten; my great host which I sent upon you.
26 And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God; who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever.
27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded forever.
28 And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 Moreover, upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit.
