Joel 2:24 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 2:24

And the floors shall be full of wheat
The churches of Christ, which will now be in Judea, and in the Gentile world, which are his "floors", ( Matthew 3:12 ) ; and which will be set up everywhere through the preaching of the Gospel, the descent of the former and latter rain; these will be full of precious souls gathered in, compared to wheat, and of the choice and excellent, doctrines of the Gospel, and of all spiritual provisions, ( Matthew 13:30 ) ( Jeremiah 23:28 ) ; and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil;
with the wine of Gospel doctrine, and the oil of true grace; there shall be a flow, an overflow, a redundancy of these, both in the ministers of the word and private Christians, in whom the grace of God shall abound and superabound; see ( Romans 5:20 ) ( 1 Timothy 1:14 ) .

Joel 2:24 In-Context

22 Wild animals, don't be afraid, because the open pastures have grown grass. The trees have given fruit; the fig trees and the grapevines have grown much fruit.
23 So be happy, people of Jerusalem; be joyful in the Lord your God. Because he does what is right, he has brought you rain; he has sent the fall rain and the spring rain for you, as before.
24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain; the barrels will overflow with new wine and olive oil.
25 "Though I sent my great army against you -- those swarming locusts and hopping locusts, the destroying locusts and the cutting locustsn that ate your crops -- I will pay you back for those years of trouble.
26 Then you will have plenty to eat and be full. You will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has done miracles for you. My people will never again be shamed.
