SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:21

Y limpiaré la sangre de los que no limpié; porque el SEÑOR mora en Sion.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joel 3:21

Verse 21. For I will cleanse their
blood] ytyqn nikkeythi, 1 will avenge the slaughter and martyrdom of my people, which I have not yet avenged.

Persecuting nations and persecuting Churches shall all come, sooner or later, under the stroke of vindictive justice.

For the Lord dwelleth in Zion.] He shall be the life, soul, spirit, and defense of his Church for ever. THIS prophet, who has many things similar to Ezekiel, ends his prophecy nearly in the same way: Ezekiel says of the glory of the Church, hm hwhy Yehovah shammah, THE LORD IS THERE.

Joel says, wyxb k hwhy Yehovah shochen betsiyon, THE LORD DWELLETH IN ZION.

Both point out the continued indwelling of Christ among his people.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 21. For I will cleanse their blood [which] I have not cleansed , etc.] Which some understand, as the Targum, of the Lord’s, inflicting further punishments on the, enemies of his people, for shedding their innocent blood; and that he will not expiate their sins, nor hold them guiltless, or suffer them to go unpunished; but rather this is to be interpreted in a way of grace and mercy, as a benefit bestowed on Judah and Jerusalem, who are the immediate antecedents to the relative here; and in the words a reason is given why they should dwell safely and peaceably for ever, because the Lord will justify them from their sins; forgive their iniquities; cleanse them from all their pollution, signified by blood; of which grace they will have had no application made to them till this time; but now all their guilt and faith will be removed; and particularly God will forgive, and declare to be forgiven their sin of crucifying Christ; whose blood they had imprecated upon themselves and their children, and which has remained on them; but now will be removed, with all the sad effects of it. Though this may also refer to the conversion of the Gentiles, and the pardon of their sins, and the sanctification of their persons, in such places and parts of the world, where such blessings of grace have not been bestowed in times past for many ages, if ever; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion ; and therefore will diffuse his grace, and spread the blessings of it all around: or “even the Lord [that] dwelleth in Zion” F100 ; he will do what is before promised; being the Lord, he can do it; and dwelling in Zion his church, it may be believed he will do it; and this will be for ever, when his Shechinah shall return thither in the days of the Messiah, as Kimchi observes.

Matthew Henry Commentary

God's judgments. (Joel 2:1-14) Exhortations to fasting and prayer blessings promised. (Joel 2:15-27) A promise of the Holy Spirit, and of future mercies. (Joel 2:28-32)

Joel 2:1-14 The priests were to alarm the people with the near approac of the Divine judgments. It is the work of ministers to warn of the fatal consequences of sin, and to reveal the wrath from heaven agains the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men. The striking descriptio which follows, shows what would attend the devastations of locusts, but may also describe the effects from the ravaging of the land by the Chaldeans. If the alarm of temporal judgments is given to offendin nations, how much more should sinners be warned to seek deliveranc from the wrath to come! Our business therefore on earth must especiall be, to secure an interest in our Lord Jesus Christ; and we should see to be weaned from objects which will soon be torn from all who now make idols of them. There must be outward expressions of sorrow and shame fasting, weeping, and mourning; tears for trouble must be turned int tears for the sin that caused it. But rending the garments would be vain, except their hearts were rent by abasement and self-abhorrence by sorrow for their sins, and separation from them. There is n question but that if we truly repent of our sins, God will forgiv them; but whether he will remove affliction is not promised, yet the probability of it should encourage us to repent.

Joel 2:15-27 The priests and rulers are to appoint a solemn fast. The sinner's supplication is, Spare us, good Lord. God is ready to succou his people; and he waits to be gracious. They prayed that God woul spare them, and he answered them. His promises are real answers to the prayers of faith; with him saying and doing are not two things. Some understand these promises figuratively, as pointing to gospel grace and as fulfilled in the abundant comforts treasured up for believers in the covenant of grace.

Joel 2:28-32 The promise began to be fulfilled on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out, and it was continued in the converting grace and miraculous gifts conferred on both Jews an Gentiles. The judgments of God upon a sinful world, only go before the judgment of the world in the last day. Calling on God suppose knowledge of him, faith in him, desire toward him, dependence on him and, as evidence of the sincerity of all this, conscientious obedienc to him. Those only shall be delivered in the great day, who are no effectually called from sin to God, from self to Christ, from thing below to things above __________________________________________________________________
