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 repay you the years that the locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my mighty troops that I sent against you.

26 And you will eat abundantly and be satisfied, and praise the name of Yahweh your God, who has dealt with you {wondrously}. My people {will never be ashamed}.

27 And you will know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and I [am] Yahweh, your God, and there is no [other]. My people {will never be ashamed again}.

28 And it will happen afterward thus: I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your elders will dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.

29 And also on the male slaves and on the female slaves, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
