Notes
The Lord’s voice would sound like the roar of a lion. It would come from Zion and shake heaven and earth. This roar would terrify those who oppose God (see Amos 1:2). Yet the same Lord, strong like a lion, would also be a place of safety for his people.
Here, Joel spoke about God’s coming judgment on the nations, especially those that had oppressed God’s people.
In the distant future, God will restore his people's spiritual lives. He will give his Spirit to all who respond to him with faith. He will judge the peoples and nations that refuse to recognize his authority.
