Joel 2:32 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Whosoever shall call — Who hearing the gospel repents and believes in Christ. Delivered — Either from those outward afflictions, or which is infinitely better from eternal miseries, which will swallow up the unbelieving world; "and it will aggravate the ruin of those who perish, that they might have been saved on such easy terms." Is it then easy for a non — elect to repent and believe? May he not as easily pull the sun out of the firmament? In mount Zion — In the true church typified by Zion. Jerusalem — In mystical Jerusalem, the church and the city of the Messiah. Deliverance — Temporal and eternal. Shall call — To believe in Christ, and by him to wait for eternal life.

Joel 2:32

32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
