Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice
on Joel 2:21-24
Fear not, O land turns the address for the first time from people to land itself, echoed at verse 22 to the beasts of the field, the whole created order addressed in turn as the plague's reversal reaches every party the plague had touched. The former rain and the latter rain names Israel's two rainy seasons, autumn planting rain and spring ripening rain, both promised together in the first month, an agricultural completeness rather than a partial mercy. The floors full of wheat and the fats overflowing with wine and oil answers 1:10's drink offering cut off with abundance restored to overflowing rather than merely to sufficiency.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
(Verse 22 onwards) Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the Lord has done great things. Do not fear, you animals of the field, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches. Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
