This verse in Joel 2

Commentary

9 notes on this verse
I will send you corn ... - This is the beginning of the reversal of the threatened judgments. It is clear from this, and still more from what follows, that the chastisements actually came, so that the repentance described, was the consequence, not of the exhortations to repentance, but of the chastisement. What was removed was the chastisement which had burst upon them, not when it was ready to burst. What was given, was what before had been taken away.

This site's exposition

Then the LORD became jealous for His land

on Joel 2:18-20

The words "Then the LORD became jealous for His land, and He spared His people" mark the turn the chapter has driven toward. The driving of "The northern army" has been read as the locust host swept into the seas and as a real invading army.

This site's exposition

And the LORD answered His people

The LORD's answer begins with the very things the locusts took. Grain, new wine and oil are promised back, the three losses named at 1:10. Albert Barnes reads the answer as proof that the people did repent.

(Verse 18 and following) The Lord was zealous for His land, and spared His people. And the Lord answered and said to His people: Behold, I will send you grain and wine and oil, and you will be filled with them, and I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. And I will remove him who is from the north far away from you, and I will drive him into a dry and desolate land: his face will be towards the eastern sea, and his end towards the western sea.

Yea, the Lord will answer - It is not a peradventure; it will surely be done; if ye seek God as commanded, ye will find him as promised. I will send you corn and wine - He will either prevent the total ravaging of the land, or so bless it with extraordinary vegetable strength, that ye shall have plentiful crops.
