Joel 3:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

But and or yet Judah the chosen peculiar redeemed of the Lord, his church. shall dwell for ever; no more be captivated and driven from home, but in their own land and houses abide safely and perpetually. This typifieth the eternal peace and rest to which God's people are redeemed. Jerusalem; city of God. From generation to generation; through many generations on earth, through eternity in heaven. Some shadow of this possibly we may find in the days of the Maccabees, but the fulness of this we expect when that day, great, dreadful, and finally decisive day, to which interpreters refer this chapter, shall destroy all the wicked and put the godly into possession of eternal mansions of glory.

Joel 3:20

20 But Judah shall dwellh for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
