Joel 2:22 — Meaning and Application

But I will remove far off from you the northern {army}, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. {hath...: Heb. hath magnified to do}

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. {will...: Heb. hath magnified to do}

Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first {month}. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness} {moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}

And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
