Joel 2:11

his army To Joe 2:10 inclusive the invading army is described; at Joe 2:11 Jehovah’s army. This “army” is described, Revelation 19:11-18. The call to repentance is based upon the Lord’s promise of deliverance, Joe 2:12-17. At verses Joe 2:18-20 we have the deliverance (Joe 2:20); see “Armageddon,” (See Scofield “Revelation 16:14”), and kingdom blessing in verses Joe 2:21-27. Joe 2:28-32 give the outpouring of the Spirit, and Joe 2:29-32 the cosmical signs preceding the day of the Lord. See Scofield “Revelation 19:11”.
