Joel 2:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?

And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army - so among Mohammedans, 'Lord of the locusts' is a title of God.

His voice - His word of command to the locusts, and to the antitypical human foes of Judea, as "His army." He is strong that executeth his word - (Revelation 18:8 "Strong is the Lord God who judgeth her"); language evidently taken from Joel, so entirely at unity are the prophets.
